[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a millennial who loved that 70s show, it’s hard to believe that such a beloved character could be such a creep. I 100% believe his victims. No one should get away with awful crimes, but it does suck to be the one person finally caught and to some extent, made an example of. I think we’re so used to celebrities getting away with things based on accusations being unfathomable based on their tv/film personas. If he hadn’t portrayed the lovable cynic on a tv show, I wouldn’t differentiate him from any other rapist. [/quote]

Oh my, no. You are exactly the person he depended on to excuse him because he was famous. Finally caught? Made an example of? He raped people. You should be lamenting the people whose fame shielded them, not complaining he was unfairly treated because he was famous. Made an example of?  He raped people.

My only point was that he was not the first. They all should be punished, he shouldn’t be the first. But he is and that’s shocking, most of all to him.[/quote]

I just wouldn't even evaluate it this way. So few rapes are even prosecuted, but less actually convicted. It's good he was prosecuted and that he will be "off the streets" as they say. I hope the extra media attention to this case makes it less likely he gets easily paroled quickly and makes people more aware of what he's capable of.

If you are concerned about helping survivors of other sexual assaults, I highly recommend donating money to or getting otherwise involved with your local rape crisis center. These are organizations that work every day to make sure that someone like Danny Masterson is not "the first" and that survivors get the help they need. I think working with an organization like this might also help you to realize that this issue is so much larger than one person or one trial -- we live in a culture that facilitates and condones this abuse by empowering and protecting some at the expense of many others.[/quote]
