Even if we DO follow this logic of "Reasons and excuses", it's still an extremely flawed sentiment.

When I was six, I was raped by one of my best friends. He was 8

I later found out that his father had been doing the same thing to his wife and that my friend had done the same to many other kids on the neighborhood.

Should we kill 8 year olds for their trauma responses then? Or should we just kill their parents? Should we wait to see if they continue? Or are they"excused" until they're 18 and then we kill them?

There's something to be said about how society, and many leftist spaces specially, have put rape in this pedestal of degeneracy. Where nothing can be worse, and the people under it can never be redeemed. It's so sturdy, where if you try to object you get accused of sympathizing with rapist, but something as unfortunately not as uncommon as we would like as Child on child sexual abuse can shock the whole base to the core.

And that's not even getting into how it makes it harder for survivors of COCSA to come forward or even understand that what happend to them was sexual abuse. The image of the irredeemable monster doesn't compute when the one that did that to you was a friend, or even a sibling. So you go years thinking nothing happened, not telling anyone, or if you do, they just tell you that it was "Kids messing around". Because, again, if rapists are irredeemable killers that deserve death, how could a child do it?

But I'm rambling a lot. What I'm trying to say is that, even if taken seriously, this idea of "Rapists being irredimable" not only is weak and refutable, but it feeds into the structure that allows rape to even happen, makes it even harder for victims to come out or even come to terms about what happend to them, and is just plain harmful for everyone.

saw a tweet that in effect "rapists should be killed because every form of violence or crime can have an excuse/be redeemed except for rape because rape has no reason or excuse" and this is such a piss poor understanding of not only rape but of so many forms of violence as a whole
