Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A French court sentenced Dominique Pelicot, 72, to 20 years in prison for drugging and raping his ex-wife, Gisele Pelicot, and arranging for other men to rape her while unconscious over nearly a decade.

Of the 51 co-defendants, all were found guilty, with sentences ranging from less than 10 years to 20.

The trial, marked by shocking evidence, spurred national debate on rape culture and consent laws.

Gisèle's courage in waiving anonymity has galvanized feminist movements, with campaigners calling her a national hero for sparking societal and legal reflection on sexual violence.

I think the body horror of a Warhammer 40k servitor where you are trapped in an unending waking nightmare forced to perform a menial task completely unable to move or talk by removing your humanity and agency to be an independent person by replacing body parts with crude machinery, and kept alive unable to sleep with drugs in constant unending pain and anguish, and unable to interact with people consistently for years due to being placed within a random distant cold industrial alcove, is the proper punishment for rapists.

Edit: unable to scream and forced to speak through an AI voice encoder, like these people. They all look the same, but its implied they are different people because the brutal process to create servitors strips an individual of their unique identity.
