You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

if someone wrote an apologia piece like this about my rapist i would be utterly fucking incandescent. i'm sorry this is disgusting we do not, in fact, need to discuss the nuance of raping someone, facing no consequence, and then making tons of money over the next ten years as a public figure

I've seen several people play the "Restorative Justice" angle, and it's so strange to try and play that angle when there is nothing "restorative" for his victim, and he himself never had any sort of "justice" visited upon him in the first place. The rush to redeem him has been frightening to see.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
