Redo Feedback

For me there is a difference. If you cheer on the death of an evil noble, I don't automatically assume you are a sadistic person who gets off on fantasies of people being murdered. If you cheer on the sexual assault of an evil noble, I don't assume you are simply cheering on the comeuppance of a bad character. It makes me think that maybe you do have rape fantasies and this kind of narrative is giving you those jollies. This belief is not proveable, of course, but it is certainly a suspicion of mine. Nor do I think that everybody who is enjoying Redo is a freak who gets off on rape fantasies, but again I have a suspicion that for some viewers, Redo is scratching a rather nasty itch.

I feel like this argument would hold more weight if we didn't have access to these peoples Twitter feeds and see them cheering and cackling in schadenfreude on a daily basis at the misery of people they dislike. You can't have the ANN stuff wishing the politicians who contracted COVID last October, would die a slow and painful death while trying to play some kind of moral high ground here in terms of not wanting to promote toxicity or encouraging abhorant behavior. Ironically, I remember Nick did specifically post some snarky Moriarty pictures the same time Trump got diagnosed with Covid, so, yeah, that's about the biggest tell you can give on the subject. There's no benefit of the doubt here to be given. There is no moral high ground to be had. But I realize this is their website and they'll do whatever they want with it ultimately at the end of the day
