All this talk about rape is making me...

144. bigotry in all forms is a TOS violation

Seeing as the Admins already identified just using gender slurs against women as a TOS violation I expect that it never occurred to them that they would NEED to make rape apology a TOS violation as they never imagined anyone like that was even here or think they would be accepted here. I imagine they never once thought that it would be necessary to include rapists and their apologists as a TOS violation anymore than murderers and their apologists a TOS violation - who would have imagined that anyone like that would be here much less blithely admit it publicly? Yet it's absolutely clear that that ARE flagrant rape apologists here who have no problems not only admitting it in what they say but arguing the issue. And they are NOT only new people. Two of the worst have been here for quite some time.

The bigger question is why isn't every single juror here hiding their disgusting posts and making sure they are banned from DU??? It shouldn't be NECESSARY to state in the TOS that rape apologists are not accepted here any more than it being necessary to state that child molester apologists or murder apologists are accepted here. But rape apologists ARE here and always have been. This most recent reveal of them has just been more "out there" and explicit as I've ever seen here. Because of DU's ever escalating war on women they've become even more emboldened to really spell out their vile opinions on dismissing rape and juries are letting them do it and continue to remain here.

Every single one of them needs to be banned. It goes without saying that DU is no place for rape apologists and shouldn't HAVE to be spelled out in the TOS because it's a damn NO-BRAINER.
