Like 80% of the civilized world seems to agree that was a travesty of justice, though

If by civilized world you mean online feminist spaces, and I assume that's what you mean, because it's the only civilised world I know anymore, then yes, I agree.

However in the rest of the world, 80% of people think he got punished to harshly.

It is not my sense that you're accurately characterizing the reaction of people in America, at the very least, with that. I mean, if nothing else, the judge in the case is going to get recalled and also is literally not being allowed to judge sexual assault cases anymore because of how bad the verdict was. Neither of those is an ordinary reaction that would indicate people think of this as normal operating procedure.

I would also say - I'm not saying don't get outraged, because it's outrageous. Outrage is the only appropriate response. But this is very much a weird, fucked-up, single anomaly, and I think understanding it as normal runs the risk of misunderstanding the nature of the structural injustices that actually are normal.

Nearly everyone I saw on Reddit (you know the scary evil "men's" website) thought the Brock Turner ruling was a joke and that the guy deserved way more jail time.

So no, it isn't just feminists.

Are you kidding? I had everybody here jumping down my throat for implying his sentence was remotely acceptable. I never said he was punished too harshly, I just thought that stalking him and/or the judge hereafter over an insufficiently harsh sentence was unnecessary. (And, OK, I said some other dumb things.)

I don't think the demonisation of rapists we see here is that atypical, really.

(I did say that the man who was sentenced to '15 to 25' for the same crime in a state where that was the mandatory minimum was treated too harshly. But I'm apparently a giant pinko bleeding heart because I believe in rehabilitating bad dudes.)

Wait...

Ohh, good troll.

Are you kiding, like most of my Facebook feed was people being outraged by it.
