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. 🤦🤦🤦

There's actually a name for that, it's not Stockholm syndrome but it's another kind of mental syndrome that people develop when they've been assaulted, where they blame themselves for it. I forgot what it's called but it's an actual thing and that's literally a textbook version of it.

[@AJadedLizard]

I've known people, I've cared about people, who've gone to face their abuser in court and had the justice system let them down. *This* woman, meanwhile, got that ball lobbed right over the plate, and still chose not to swing. If, or when, this man decides to re-offend, that one's on her, and that makes me *very* angry. "I can afford therapy." Cool. Can his next victim?

[@vanessac1721]

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. There are some liberals irl who are out of their damn minds and pull similar nonsense about not wanting their attackers "ending up in the system". Luckily it's not super common but it happens.

Yeah she's basically acting as an enabler here where she has for practical purposes handed this person the key to do whatever he wants from now on.

[@MoskHotel]

The ending is basically like: "I know I shouldn't have committed an awful crime, but now that I was brought to court, I've learned that maybe r&pe is bad, so maybe I shouldn't do that again. I've finally learned my lesson." *The More You Know*

[@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.

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.

[@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.

Edited repost because the algorithm deleted my comment: The worst part is that this crap happens in real life. I recall a case from some years ago-can't remember if it was in Germany or Sweden (or maybe Holland?)-where a 'migrating person' forced himself upon a politician's daughter. 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.

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. So it actually checks out if you understand what they actually hate rather than what they claim they hate.

[@winterfire1097]

The saddest thing Jlongbone, I have a friend in rl who would be just like lady jesus. We were in the car one day and she out of no where daid "I feel so guilty that I had the privilege of getting a HS diploma and other black and brown kids didn't." I then asked the simple question of "Did you purposefully hold them back? Were you supposed to pick them up?" She immediately got silent and sputtered her words after. The saddest thing of all she is asian and grew up poor and abused. But her husband is a big ol SJW, he drives like a bat outta hell, but no cops KNOW he's a POC and so therefore they pull him over just for fun, not for flooring it and serpentining on the highway. White guilt is sop contagious sadly.

[@jdraven0890]

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.

22:56 I had this exact same reaction when watching this episode. All I could think, as a victim of sexual assault/rape, was how the fuck can they even begin to rationalize or justify his actions in the 11th hour. This whole episode erased the actual trauma experienced by rape victims to virtue signal. SVU fell off & the message they’re espousing is fucking disrespectful to rape survivors!

[@Nepafarius]

Having someone use NY's one party consent laws to secretly record her confessing would've made this far more complex and interesting, since it would be another violation-not of her rights but of her trust. Then we could've had a whole debate about whether or not the pursuit of justice supercedes the personal feelings of the victim. But instead we got this.

[@kismetcaffet9862]

They relied on that pretty hevily for a while, though - that was part of what ruined the show for me. They put Olivia through a character arc where she was doing more and more creepy and violating things to victims and inserting herself or her beliefs into their personal lives.

I am going to share what I wrote on another post about this episode. When the woman said that she could afford therapy, a great writer would have had the detective respond “Your therapy will not help the next woman he attacks if she even survives.”

[@okami-chan9772]

All I know is that not only SVU but also every single Law & Order spin-offs has a track record of taking actual cases and turning them into parody episodes; cases like the 2014 Slender Man stabbing case as they named the episode as "Glasgow's Wrath" (which I kid you not this episode was made months after the trial happened) and one episode that's a obvious hint of the Unabomber case. 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.

[@YouWillBeHappyOrElse]

Dragnet--the show, not the movie--did use real cases that took place. But Jack Webb was an actually intelligent man who had respect for human beings, and didn't make stuff up to score points on strawmen. You could disagree with his takes on things, but he wasn't going to lie to make a point.

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.

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.

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)

Lets not forget that mariska is one of the producers of this show, she read the script and approved

She probably wrote it under a pseudonym.

"worse than a Portland polycule" At that point I lost it, snorted milk out my nose and laughed my arse off.

I love "People that try not to be racist by being racist", it's my favourite genre.

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

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.
