This is your regular reminder that if you allow a well-known rapist into your event, you are sending a signal to all survivors that you don't care about their safety.

Lookin' at you, CCC.

@evacide is resocialization a concept that should be pursued? If yes, under which conditions?
@urx Not for this person, no.
@evacide but isnt resocialization a right everybody is having after being penalized? Same rights for everybody? What are the conditions?
@urx If you have repeatedly shown yourself to be a bad actor who does not operate in good faith and whose many survivors have made it clear that they would not want you in the space: no.
@evacide @urx to expand a little more on that comment: Resocialization for a repeat offender should never be an automatic thing that just happens for free. You need to earn it and demonstrate that you deserve it.
Now I realize that this is a chicken-and-egg thing, that it's difficult to show that you deserve another chance when you're not allowed in. But when you're not allowed in
because of your own repeated actions, that is on you, not on the community you have offended against. It's on you to find a way to show that you have mended your ways and deserve another chance.
@zakalwe @urx @evacide I see resocialisation as a practice rather than a right as such. I start with the liberal principle everybody should be as free as possible provided they do not infringe on other people's freedom. If someone has infringed other people's freedom, and particularly if they have done so repeatedly, then evidence of a change of heart, ie repentance, is required for readmission to take place. Being internal, that is difficult to prove, so any case needs careful management.
