as the boys on last podcast on the left said in one of my favorite episodes: it's RAPE. it's VERY EASY TO SAY. he's a RAPIST.

saving the rest for the read more.

anyway, this was good but also infuriating. early on you see footage of krombach's television interview after getting probation for drugging and raping a minor in his clinic and the things he says are fucking revolting. the footage from an entire auditorium of men holding political office just straight up laughing at spousal rape is disgusting. and then you have lawyers try to whine about due process for a man who said if a woman is silent she must want it, about a woman who again, WAS DRUGGED. and o h m Y g O d i thought finally, by the end the mom is seeing the truth, and then

AND THEN

she says she wishes krombach would've told her it was an accident and he panicked and accidentally killed her daughter, because she might have been able to understand and forgive him.

I JUST. WHAT.

and ffs i don't understand how in 2022 we're still calling rape "sex acts", or how rapists are just referred to as "perverts". i get that these were older people discussing a 40 year old case but also that doesn't get to be an excuse anymore, we're all too old and i'm too tired for this shit
