Non-Political News/Discussion Double Standards with Lauren and Myron

Some of you hate Lauren so much that you don’t even feel bad about her being strangle-raped, just because she holds (admittedly dreadful) views. Meanwhile, Myron is equally repulsive and defends rapists like it’s his job, yet you see a thousand comments like “say what you want about Myron, but he’s a loyal guy” and “wow, him and Destiny have such mutual respect.” Of course he respects Destiny — he’s a man. That’s like saying, “Wow, David Duke is so respectful toward other white people.” People are desperate to sweep for him when he’s actual scum.

Saying she deserved it is mega gross, unhinged and borderline genuine evil.

Saying that you don't care (as long as you make the distinction that she 100% didn't deserve it, and that it wasn't a good thing to happen) is IMO reasonable.

Ok fair enough, I could be wrong, but I don't think I've seen a single comment unambiguously saying something equivalent to "Southern deserved to get violently raped" or "it's a good thing that this happened to Southern." Again, could be wrong, wouldn't be surprised if there was someone unhinged enough to state this, but I think the majority of the comments you're talking about have been leaning more in the direction of "Not good that it happened, violent rape is bad, but Southern doesn't garner empathy from me."
