I remember watching the show what felt like a hundred years ago. I think i saw Meloni leaving and that was already a sign. These new guys, they have personalities, right? Maybe judging them only by those few scenes is a little bit unfair, but i don't even want to find out. The show had some questionable episodes, but this? I don't remember anything that came even close to this disaster. This is like the Batwoman-writers took over. Well thank the victim for showing the rape wasn't actually the worst thing, the rapist getting what he deserves would be way worse. I just can't ... everything is wrong here. This must be some kind of April fools-joke, right? Or it's from some kind of mirror-dimension. Give Benson a mustache. Thats all i'm asking for.

A few years ago a young leftist politician in Germany was R-ed by a group of migrants. First the young woman blamed some unknown GERMAN men. Later when the evidence got overwhelming, she admitted to lying because she , and I quote:" didn't want these poor guys to go down that road." Also she wrote an APOLOGY LETTER to her own R-ists! In that letter SHE apologized TO THEM for them not being integrated enough into German society and because of that their frustration and anger lead them to this path. I'm not kidding. 🤦🤦🤦

This episode is such a double-edged sword of shittiness. On one edge, it's essentially telling white women it's admirable to let their rapist off the hook if they're black. And on the other, it's babying black people, acting like they should be let off the hook for serious crimes because of their skin color. Truly vile in both regards, and I don't understand how anyone could even pitch this script without horrifying everyone in the room.

[@elperrodelautumo7511]

Even if they wanted to do a realistic take. The whole privilege thing done right. They really could’ve had even Olivia to feel like the public are too much of scaredy cats and fear cancel culture and the government of New York City aren’t doing their jobs. Truly what’s happening with our society in general. Maybe she realizes who she thought of backing aren’t even having the interests of her kin. Realizes that the public are too divided.

There have been real life cases of this happening. It's outrageous. But fortunately it partially absolves the writers of just making this atrocious plot line up.

Wait... back in the early episodes a suspect would mock Olivia for being a (_)ape-kid (thanks youtube) and then next scene he would be all roughed up and Ice-T and Stabler would be like "Oh shit... he fell down the staaaaairs. 5 times in row. Crazy shit man"

[@hope-cat4894]

You aren't allowed to have cathartic fictional police brutality now.

I believe that's now called "toxic masculinity". The only correct way for such a situation to resolve now is for her to give him a long lecture about how pathetic he is, before jumping up, wrapping her legs around his neck, and throwing him into the opposite wall. Breaking her own nose on the desk in front of him is optional.

[@EmoBunny69]

That is so crazy how that makes no sense at all did they change out the jurors because it doesn’t make any sense how you get hung up on the fact that the man is black and not about the fact that he got a 14-year-old girl hooked on drugs, and became a prostitute in order to pay off, said drugs that she was hooked on.

Well from what I’ve seen, the ones who complain about ‘r*pe culture’ always seem to support women not telling anyone or doing anything to catch the r*pist. And they also usually tend to paint r*pists as white men, because they don’t want to talk about non-white r*pists because they think that’s racist.

Not only did the father have the _nerve_ to advocate for the criminal, but his daughter, _the victim,_ *defended the man too.* I was appalled. This isn't compassion, it's immorality masquerading as altruism. For a more recent example of European soft-on-crime injustice, look no further than Josef Fritzl's release in Austria.

They probably stand with the propaganda and pandering to these insane ideologies. Most people in hollywood do. The art of telling a good story is almost entirely extinct. Those that have the integrity to do so are usually silenced before their stories even make it to production. I miss the days of escapism and true art that allows us to think, instead of lecturing us on what to think. Most of what mainstream media feeds us is recycled garbage. Unoriginal ideas with a "modern, progressive twist". I think SVU is done. It's tired. It cannot function while barely limping along, clinging to political ideologies, rather than giving us good characters, a hero's journey, and a place to escape to where LEOs fight with everything they have to solve crime and make the world better while also struggling through navigating the flawed experience of being human.

And there's even that one time the company, who made Law and Order shows, literally went out and said they were planning on making an episode based off the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard case and everybody went down their throat for it and rightfully so! The company still has the freaking nerve to go out of their way to make some BS statement in the beginning of every episode lying about the episodes were not based off of actual cases.

You know for a fact that any writer in the position of the female character in this show would be screaming for justice and for the police to do more. The police have a terrible enough job already without these kind of writers making them look even worse.

As someone who binged SVU during covid from season 1 to like season 20, the shift in writing, topics tackled, and overall tact on subject matters was DRAMATIC. The show got very preachy and handled so many "current topics" like a college freshman would. I also really fucking hated the shift in the kinds of vicitms. As a man who has survived SA, I had a sense of catharsis when male vicitims were depicted. I also resonated with some of the female victims. But now its massively skewed and its always the "the same kind" of female victim depicted and it's boring listening to the detectives bend over backwards to spout what I would call "woke rhetoric" sorry, rant over.

[@elusivemayfly7534]

Don’t apologize! It honestly feels like a betrayal when stuff like that happens in a long-running, once good series. This ideology makes people blot out like 90 percent of visible reality and squeeze everything into that teeny little system they got going. I think that is why the art is almost always so bad-it’s not allowed to have nuance or spiritual complexity. Some things have a dab of “woke” and are still good, but “you never go full woke” 😂

It's so sad to see what the show has become. There's one episode where there was a black kid who was falsely accused and was then burned and lynched in the halfway house. There was a funeral for both the victim and the boy and it was such a powerful scene and the show completely ruined it by having ICE-T say some asinine on the nose shit as if we, the viewer, didn't understand what was happening.

[@sterlingdennett]

SVU was good in its earlier seasons, but when Christopher Meloni left, and Benson was put in charge, it became unbearably woke/feminist. I don't watch it anymore, it's unbelievably pathetic now.

[@Bonesawisready926]

Meloni actually did some really fun stuff after SVU too. The first season of Happy is goofy as hell but he's awesome in it, and it's fun and charming in it's own way. I recommend.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

Yeah, SVU is like The Simpsons- good in it's earlier seasons but it's gone on way past it's expiration date.

[@houseofthesupermen377]

Well why is that bad? I keep hearing the word "woke" or "feminist" to describe something, but I never hear why that is bad. And then people complain that they're being called misogynists or racists. Well can you blame people for calling you that?

[@tultsi93]

@@houseofthesupermen377 The show's babing a criminal and treat him like he's a victim, because he's black. If he was a white boy, the whole scrpit would be completely different. It's practicing victim blaming towards rape victims.

​@houseofthesupermen377 I mean did you watch the video

It's sad because Olivia is a badass and deserves to NOT be a negative example of women in power.

Not just this episode. There’s the one where a family friend of Rollins’ gets treated poorly too. The guy’s in high-school (I forget his name and the episode, so I’ll just call the character Cedric), and he’s “pranked” by a bunch of other students into being serviced blindfolded by someone he thought was a girl he liked, (actually a male cheerleader). Halfway through, Cedric takes it off, and understandably feels violated, and should be treated as a victim of SA -and the cheerleader should be treated as the perp, right? You thought, because since Cedric stormed out of there feeling disgusted that they used him, he went to a local bar that just so happened to be a gay bar. Some guy comes over to him, and Cedric flips cuz he’s already shaken up, attacks the guy out of fear, and then gets treated as the sole perpetrator, and apparently worthy of a hate crime charge?? Cedric didn’t even know the guy at the bar was gay, or that it was a gay bar, but everyone in the squad except for Rollins goes on to treat him like this maniac, even though he was assaulted by his peers just earlier that day and lashing out from fear. (By fear, I mean he was worried that since he was unknowingly touched by a guy, he’s thinking his arousal in that situation means he’s gay, even though that couldn’t be further from the truth. But you try making sense of something like that, when a group of your peers are gawking at you for being taken advantage of?? It’s vile, and the SVU squad do nothing to hold the male cheerleader responsible, pretty sure they only punish Cedric)

Suffice to say, "quit while you're ahead" is definitely not their motto.

In real life, the young scholar they show mercy to often goes on to re-offend and usually that includes deleting a person or two.

[@jasonseacord]

I remember Keith David saying that he read a script for a TV episode (he didn’t confirm if it was SVU) and he declined the role because he found his character too reprehensible and that there was nothing “beyond the page” to work with and from then he made “an executive decision” about what kind of roles he wanted to take on.

SVU was at its best when Olivia had a Karen haircut

[@TwistedTeaRex]

Bruh I miss the Season 3 haircut so much, it was peak butch Olivia and I was totally there for it.

[@I_am_always_correct]

That was when most of the good characters were still there, and when Olivia was an MFing *boss* who didn't take no crap from nobody

[@TwistedTeaRex]
