Is catching a beating a lesser crime than rape? or murder like Mathew Broderick did while driving drunk?
There’s an appreciable difference between beating up a guy and sexually assaulting many multiple people for decades.
Both are bad, but one is badderer.
Is beating up a guy baddery?
Baddery & a salt.
The fact that you have no scale on how to rank those things is very concerning. Like, wow. You actually do not see the difference between an accident, violence, and rape? Just wow.
So your saying all DWI’s are an accident? Almost killing a person gets a pass? But rape is were we draw the line?
I didn’t draw any line. But if you think that physical violence, or an accident (even if caused by stupidity or whatever else) is as bad as an act that is designed to destroy someone completely, then you are part of the problem.
Are you one of those people that defend rapists by saying “innocent until proven guilty”?
i think beating someone up is less vile and disgusting than the other crimes listed
It’s a lot more than just beating someone up. Mark has committed numerous hate crimes.
and he did a russell brand move by becoming"devout christian" as a shield.
racism agianst non-south ASIAN seems to be glossed over compared to blacks, jewish people, and even lgbtq+. almost all the attacks against asians are almost never on the news for very long.
almost all the attacks against asians are almost never on the news for very long
I am asking because I’m genuinely curious, but I heard this was because the attacks were primarily done by black people, is this true?
Besides all the other things people listed, in law we appreciate that sexual violence is kind of worse than just physical violence, and if there’s power dynamics at play and psychological dependency, it gets even more morally apprehensive.
What I’m saying even just the sexual nature makes it worse for me, but of course there’s more.
That said, I did not know about what Mark Wahlberg did, and obviously not great.
And now he is pushing some stupid christian app.
What a joke he's become.
I think sex crimes are much more character defining. Personally, I dont think there are many who push themselves toward violence and murder. Sure there are those okay with violence and psychos that kill for pleasure but nowhere near the level of sex crimes.
I also think that violent people can be rehabilitated whereas sexual deviants can only hide from themselves.
I dont think a single instance 40 years ago is enough to hold someone to account today but if it were sexual I would not believe it were a single instance.
This culture looks down on sexual assault (rightfully so), but it glorifies violence in many cases.
also the fact asian hate crimes arnt seen as serious as ones done against other POCs.
Sexual is worse

Wahlberg was arrested, charged, and served time (albeit a very little), also his main offense occurred in 1988. Spacey and Weinstein were continuing to offend, and along with Cosby were serial offenders.
So you have a Wahlberg who was a piece of shit as a youth and then (as far as we know) corrected himself and remained hate-crime/assault free for going on nearly 40 years now vs rapists who were active until they were publicly outed.

but he was barely criticized for asian hate crime and still got significant roles. Hollywood has a wierd fetish stereotyping asians.

Barely criticized? It still comes up today, and Im not sure if its any consolation but the guy he attacked publicly forgave him after Wahlberg met with him and apologized in 2016.
Im not sure what the stereotyping comment has to do with this discussion though.
