  I believe it is because it is seen as a right-wing talking point. I am not accusing the left of supporting the criminal, I think they just downvote thinking, “Oh, this is what the right wing wants to talk about, so this is unhelpful and we should not be talking about this…!”

  I think it’s an inappropriate thing to downvote.

  And let it be known I post any and all crime stories - ones where trans people are the victims of hate crimes, and ones where they are offenders; ones where the molesters are priests and Republicans, and ones where they are teachers and Democrats.

  I think… all crime should be talked about, and it is good to think about what your own shortcomings may be in terms of this sort of thing, right… So I am very much opposed to downvoting any news that I feel can produce discussion.

    I figured it might be hate for the Daily Mail but you might be right, if it conflicts with people’s world view or political agenda they might downvote.

    I wonder what those people would say to the 10 year old girl who was sexually assaulted. Like

    I support women and am against sexual violence but what happened to you is really inconvenient so I tried to bury it
