This is entirely correct. Suggesting that maybe Graham Platner doesn't have the right to be a senator or Neil Gaiman doesn't have the right to his publishing deals and exposure isn't saying they can never rejoin society. I believe in rehabilitative justice. I also believe in social consequences.
@jessiegender.bsky.socialI think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."
