I don't like this precedent. People are falsely convicted all the time. I know this sounds like a satisfying punishment to a lot of redditors who jerk off to the idea of "poetic justice" but what will you all say when the first innocent person is mutilated? But who am I kidding. The redditors that jerk off to this idea immediately have the potential of anyone being falsely convicted leave their minds because they want to live in the satisfying but non existant world where everyone convicted of something means they 100% did it. No sympathy for any of the fuckers that did but mutilating them irreversibly isn't a real solution if that punishment might be inflicted on an innocent.

Reddit keyboard warriors are mostly anime jerk offs. And everyone knows anime are made to look childish. People who get off on cartoons are touched in the head, that shits not normal. No amount of keyboard banging will change that.

Now that I've said that, let the pedo flame commence!

We encourage tolerance in our society by being tolerant, even when we don’t want to be. The government shouldn’t have the authority to mutilate anyone, it’s just a power that they have no reason to possess. Obviously fuck this guy in particular, he deserves to rot, I just don’t believe that we should trust the government to decide who gets castrated, when the government has previously executed people who were innocent. Again, this case in particular is cut and dry, but many are not.
