No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Is catching a beating a lesser crime than rape? or murder like Mathew Broderick did while driving drunk?

I think sex crimes are much more character defining. Personally, I dont think there are many who push themselves toward violence and murder. Sure there are those okay with violence and psychos that kill for pleasure but nowhere near the level of sex crimes.

I also think that violent people can be rehabilitated whereas sexual deviants can only hide from themselves.

I dont think a single instance 40 years ago is enough to hold someone to account today but if it were sexual I would not believe it were a single instance.

It is wild what celebrity scandals do and do not stick!

This culture looks down on sexual assault (rightfully so), but it glorifies violence in many cases.

also the fact asian hate crimes arnt seen as serious as ones done against other POCs. racism against asian in hollywood isnt seen as much of effect as it would if was done to african american. because asians are and sitll heavily stereotyped in hollywood.

One is a pattern of behaviour. The other may be a one off

racism agianst non-south ASIAN seems to be glossed over compared to blacks, jewish people, and even lgbtq+. almost all the attacks against asians are almost never on the news for very long.

to be fair spacey wouldve gotten off scott free if rapp dint come do interviews before the pandemic, he just dug his own grave deeper because he try to excuse his behaviour of SA-ing gay minors.

I would argue racism against south Asians is fairly normalized also as there have been targetted hate campaigns online which spill over into the real world. It goes back to the model minority myth and both not being a traditionally disenfranchised group.

I am asking because I'm genuinely curious, not because I'm racist, but I heard this was because the attackers were primarily black people, is this true?

Perhaps we should put our critical thinking caps on for this discussion
