I was talking in general. I have noticed on .world's news feed that there was an inundation of apologists specifically in the threads talking about the most blatantly heinous of crimes. There were people demanding empathy for the perpetrators, then speaking in generalities to subtly imply punishment itself is an inherently bad or unhelpful thing and that the perps in each thread should be given leniency.

I even noticed it in a meme thread I made talking specifically about rape apologia. Same argumentation style, same M.O., and others in my own thread thought it was sus.

Then I saw people using that same argumentation style to the letter to defend possession of CP last night.

The pattern is clear -- evil is upon us, and we need to pressure mods and instances of admins to not allow people to defend serious criminals anymore, because that is what it leads to.
