As for my last point, I was just trying to find an understanding behind the actions, not really an excuse. Someone who makes a macro out of, let's say, a massacre or V tech or makes jokes about rape isn't doint anything less of a horribly and repugnant thing even if they have some excuse or reason behind it.

I suppose it depends on where you are. Yes, violence gets treated more seriously as a crime (but just as lightheartedly amongst the media and society), while rape is treated as a shameful sex act rather than what it is--an act of violence, in ways. Which is why people are more afraid to come out about abuse, they feel shamed and they will be questioned and doubted so much that sometimes the process can be just as truamatized as the abuse itself.

I don't believe there will ever be judicial justice concerning the subject of rape. You have everything from people not being allowed to say 'rape' in court, to cases being thrown out for the most ridiculous bits of 'evidence' they can claim in the person's history, to let's say a few girls lying in court such as the Duke scandal which ruins it for everyone else and makes people think all cases are a bunch of lies.

I believe in North Country they said it was the "Sluts or Nuts" case. You were either a slut and wanted it, or nuts and are making it up, in the court's eyes. :\ retarded. Fandom is the least of my worries concerning that subject, but it sure doesn't help when people take the subject lightly.

It's come to a point where rape has turned into another word that people use, though it's still horribly offensive. Just like how people throw around faggot yet try to excuse it as not being homophobic because they don't mean it 'that way'. :I
