Strange double edged sword.I feel that sometimes we want to criticize celebs so badly that we go overboard.So that one point in defense of the celeb is returned iwth, "coz he's so powerful eh? Coz he's a celeb, he can buy his way out". We want to play the devil's advocate so badly, want to support the underdog.Like I said, if someone in an accident runs someone over (driving under the influence being his stupidty), I dont see him as a monster. Yes he should be punished. Yes he is accountable for his actions. But his intent was not to kill. People who drive under the infuence are higly deluded and STUPID individuals who think they can handle it even when drunk. But are they monsters...I dont think so.But I do see rapists as monsters. They are fully aware of what htey're doing. They can witness DURING the crime the pain and trauma they are inflicting upon the victim, yet htey continue in full awareness.
Originally posted by: desigal90What do you mean by that? That its ok if its not in my backyard? Nuktacheen, the woman who got raped wasnt my sister or mother, yet I call Shiney a monster. Similarly that man who died was also unrelated to me, and while his family has my full sympathy, and I feel that salman should be punished for his stupidity, I still dont view Salman a monster.
I boht cases, the victims are the same to me, yet i still have a differnet stance on each. So I dont understnad where htat whole backyard analogy came from?
