You know what is worse than people not comprehending your joke? The fact that the only thing you had to say about the topic was a joke. So let me guess your mental age is 12, right? And talking seriously about rape and rape culture makes you feel icky, right? Yeah, you're a great human being, DougExeter.

Pretty sure you are an idiot rape apologist who tells people to sanctimoniously read his shitty comment "all the way through" because it does in fact equate the anal rape of a women to a mistake to grow on. Good one, idiot.

I know, how horrible! That poor man. He's so victimized. People said truthful things about him! What's next, sound reasoning?

Here is some remedial reading for you and everyone who likes your humor, since you have NO IDEA whatever could be problematic with your comment equating a violent anal rape to "a mistake to grow from":

Cool story, your comment is dumb (all of it, I read it to the end), you aren't clever, and you actually typed this and apparently meant it: "People make mistakes and they grow as a result of it." Fuck you, you are a rape apologist at the least and at the worst you are a rapist yourself.

I don't understand what you mean by that. If you are referring to the last line of your comment, I don't know what you mean by that either. Is your whole comment just a fucking troll? Trolls are such fucking worthless slime.

One need not eat an entire egg to know it's rotten.

So while his victim will be traumatized for the rest of her life, while women live in a world where that trauma is a perpetual threat, this guy deserves a break? That ain't how it works. This is something he has to deal with for the rest of his life too. If he wants to be a MLB player with all the benefits, he's…

Because all mistakes are created equal. If I ever raped someone, even in some weird drug-induced or insanity-driven haze, I would expect shaming for the rest of my life.

But redemption (at least from the Christian point of view which concocted the whole idea in the first place) requires repentance, which means that he (and only he) must confess his sins, and not just to a priest, but to the one he trespassed against (or publicly) and bearing out whatever punishment is deemed necessary…

There's no "redemption" after raping somebody. Best Lueke could ever do is make a public apology to his victim and give her and RAINN a shit-ton of money.

Rape-apologist trolls are among the worst trolls.

Some mistakes deserve bigger consequences than other. Rape is not equal to yelling profanities at someone or stealing a wallet. Getting out of jail is his redemption. Any public shaming after that is the continuation of consequence for doing something as dark and heinous has rape. Should a serial killer who happened…

The details of how he was able to plea deal down to a lesser charge is not apparent but

Redemption doesn't mean pretending it didn't happen. Redemption is the fact that he's no longer in jail and is playing Major League Baseball. Redemption doesn't mean that people don't have the right to talk about it, and it certainly doesn't mean that somebody has the right to dictate whether other people talk about…

One more reason to leave Christianity, you moderate tools. Try as you may to ignore it, Christianity is universal in its opposition to homosexuality. You're complicit in it. Shed your faith. It's not like you really believe that bullshit, anyways.

it's so cute how innocent you are. That sounds pretty fucking awesome to me.

Argh. This has been so blown out of proportion and context. This guy was the one who introduced the bill to legalize interracial marriage in Alabama.

And how fucking self-centered they can be.
