SINATRA DEFENDERS COME

For the 10000th time i’m not saying he is guilty enough to be put behind bars based on the current evidence. I’m saying it’s more likely than not he is a rapist and shouldn’t be defended by the public.

What I said was a statistically proven FACT. I didn’t make it up it has been studied by research scientists multiple times. People who act in emotionally abusive ways are more likely to violate sexual boundaries too. Doesn’t mean every single person does, it just adds to the likelihood.

1. There is no evidence that an offender in a happy relationship now did not abuse someone in the past. There are tried and convicted rapists, murderers, and worse in happy relationships now. Why should his current GF’s moral compass be used as evidence.

2. He was at an age where his brain is capable of making decisions and the decision to act emotionally abusive is the one he chose. He was not a toddler or mentally handicapped leading to not understanding the impact of his actions.

3. She is consenting to post thirst traps. She did not consent to being abused emotionally or sexually. Basic consent is a sex-ed topic 6th graders learn. Also your argument is founded on the same logic as “depressed people can’t be happy at times” and “people with anxiety can never feel relaxed” and so on.

4. Sinatra clarifying something in a tweet doesn’t mean it is not true. Why is his word so trustworthy?

5. The world has heard him out too. Doesn’t change the fact that the evidence plus statistics still show that he assaulted her more likely than not. Not to mention RIOT themselves stated they caught him misrepresenting certain facts at multiple points during the investigation.

Let's follow your argument to its logical conclusion.

Violence and robberies are not crimes committed for the same reason as rape (duh). Studies show that lack of basic foundational needs being met (hunger, food, shelter, physical safety, etc) lead to higher crime rates. There is also a difference in the type of robberies and types of violence. A robbery committed for money that is more necessary for survival than luxury is different than someone robbing a bank to be a millionaire. Same with murder and violence. Murdering someone when you are a part of a gang you joined while young and is you entire support network and social group is different than someone murdering a random person off the street for fun. While neither are necessary, one is heavily influenced by the conditions of the persons upbringing and situation. This by no means makes it OK or justifiable. It just proves that the statistic you are referring to has far less to do with race and more to do with socioeconomic status. This is also proven by studies that show when people are lifted out of poverty or find safety and community in places not controlled by gangs crime rates decrease heavily.

Now, lets look at the situation surrounding Sinatra.

Sinatra is an up-and-coming esports player with a girlfriend, salary that only some could dream of, and stability in his life. He chooses to be abusive simply because it is easier than controlling his emotions. There is no notable socioeconomic influence making him be an asshole to his girlfriend. Furthermore, rape is a selfish crime that fulfills the need of sexual gratification in the most barbaric way possible. He has two hands and could use them instead. He could leave his GF and go hookup with someone who is consenting. The possibilities go on. Yet, he CHOSE to rape her instead. There were ZERO outside factors pushing him to do this. He is completely in control of his actions. This is true for rape in general. It is a crime that cannot be tied to socioeconomic influence the same ways that some other crimes can. Again, due to the fact that there is a quick and easy way to fulfill whatever desire without raping someone, and the individuality of the crime removes it from things like gang or group violence.

Now you see the problem. Your argument makes zero sense here and honestly you shot yourself in the foot because it just further proves how easy it would have been for him to respect her.

Next time think your logic through.
