Honestly something really weird that I notice a lot is that people are almost never forgiving of rape by fictional characters but it’s gotten forgiven a lot by people in real life.

The most obvious example I can think of is when women teachers do it, but then again that also goes into your point about women typically being forgiven more than men for that kinda thing.

But then you have cases like Mike Tyson, who did many other things along with rape (such as numerous cases of assault and even biting part of an ear off) but almost no one talks about it and he still gets work. Like I had no idea about those things until I saw his Wikipedia page. It’s really fucking bizarre to me sometimes
