I mean... have you talked to anyone outside of reddit? It's not just reddit. A lot of people want the kids responsible for this hazing punished. And they're not wrong. Whether what the punishment is? That's where things get a bit tricky and people disagree.

Reddit also has gen z to boomers so depending on who youre talking to, you're gonna get completely differing opinions for certain topics.

Imo you need to be specific. As much as I want to be on the same page, I can't read your mind or preemptively know what you believe is something everyone should already know.

Let's review what you're talking about case by case. Which cases are we talking about and which punishments are the progressives? Then let's review the cases that highlight that double standard and see if there's a deeper context or indeed a bias in the way we approach judicial system. It should come as a surprise to no one that our justice system is not perfect and even the working parts can often shit the bed. But in this particular case is it wrong? I don't think so.

Who remembers Tyler Clementi? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Since you’re basing your view on this story of specific redditors you yourself dealt with your point can only be true.

i think anyone who spent any time on reddit reading social and criminal news stories can pick up on the reddit bias quite easily. butthurt genZs bitter at their country cause they can't get ahead. not saying some of the criticisms aren't valid, just that there is a heavy kumbaya bias

Yeah I mean it's honestly just a social media platform. It reflects what people are saying and I honestly do feel like sometimes I'm talking to teens and angry brats but I've also talked to much older crowd on reddit. Regardless of how we might feel, I think the younger generations opinion on this matter because they're the ones living through it now or just went through it. The experience is fresher.

i didn't mean to come off as angry or otherwise perturbed. like you said, it's reddit, it's just a forum for shooting shit with others.

i just wanted to add that the bias is clear and evident and isn't OP's case of only dealing with certain people

Ah, true, ha thanks for the explanation I misunderstood.

Yeah OP was rich. I love stories that go I experienced this therefore this is happening. Well yes sir. Totally unfalsifiable, dudes go to war on beliefs like this, same as always i guess

Yeah but its silly to suggest there isn't a heavily prevailing mindset among the users.

Because it makes the people who want justice reform and by extension the whole effort, sound like it's strictly a flight of fancy, a passing fad, or just outright hypocritical.
