In the absolute majority of rape cases there is no bettering themselves happening because the rapists never face any consequences to begin with.
In theory, he doesn't know whether he's the only one. They could all be fake Nazis and no one knows.
Are people really so dumb they believe that's a decision directly form the police department? No wonder you suck at elections...
Is this 4chan now?
For some time it was. People wrote longer, more elaborate posts and were overall a lot less aggressive.
I only lurked on a smaller Lemmy instance before the great Reddit exodus, but even in the first few months when people started pouring in, it still was like that. It became more and more like Reddit over time.
I wonder what exactly makes internet communities turn like that. What is the connection between having more people in one (online) space and it starting to get more and more toxic?
You also wouldn't be able to post about an actual rape case from 13 years ago and get 600+ upvotes. People aren't interested in that.
RuneScape, Ark, ... DOTA2 (especially with that cry for help).
Some people get lost for thousands of hours in grand-strategy games like Europa Universalis. Or MMOs like Eve Online.

Makes me loose all respect for the author.
At the university where I studied professors were constantly talking about what we don't know. Formulated every theory extremely carefully, there was no "it is like that". What kind of scientists is he talking about?
My male colleagues are in the same situation but they don't have this issue. It's also not all or the majority of students, but each semester there will be a group of young man behaving this way.
There is no reason why rape is judged much less severely than torture though.
