robin KNOCKING out in like ap calc or something hard like that and when i say knocking out i mean she is SLUMPED. drool dripping and everything.

The Sex Offender Registry is public, anyone on it has every aspect of their personal information online, allowing vigilantes to track you down and kill you and when they do, the cops aren't going to investigate your murder. Furthermore, being put on the SOR commonly disqualifies you from any form of rent, home ownership, or employment and thus most sex offenders become homeless.

If a Sex Offender does go to prison, chances are they will be killed purely for being a sex offender as every inmate will assume they are a child molester. I remember reading a story of a 20 year old man who was mutilated beyond recognition in prison after being put on the SOR for having sex with his 17 yo girlfriend.

Contrary to popular belief, you can be put onto the Sex Offender Registry for a vast variety of reasons, not just raping a child so assuming that all Sex Offenders are child rapists is illogical. Any form of indecent exposure can land you on the SOR. Back in the 2010s, there was a Texas teen who streaked at a football game and was put on the SOR as a result. He committed suicide because the courts would not take his name off the registry and yes, btw, getting taken off the Registry is virtually impossible to do even if you have mountains of evidence proving your innocence.

Furthermore, the SOR never actually reveals what crime each person on it committed but the major news networks have firmly convinced the U.S Population that every sex offender is a child rapist.

In Colorado, registered sex offenders are not allowed to own photographs of family members who are minors, nor are they allowed to even speak to minors. In Wisconsin, a registered sex offender was barred from entering a hospital where his 9-year-old son was undergoing surgery on the basis that he might rape his son.

People seem to think that the legal system is too leniant on sex offenders simply because sex offenders aren't suffering the punishments people want them to suffer. Just because a sex offender isn't being executed by firing squadron, burned at the stake, pulled apart by horses, sent to the gallows or thrown in a pit with 1000 hungry rats doesn't mean they aren't being punished.

As conservative fascism gets more intense we really do need to criticize and scrutinize our attitudes towards the SOR. What if skimpier clothing gets you hit with indecent exposure? Non-Hetero presenting PDA? And if stricter conservative laws put in place concerning public dress codes? As of 2022, 14 states still have not repealed their anti sodomy laws, even though the Supreme Court case Lawrence v Texas invalidates them. What if that ruling was repealed? Now, legally, any sex outside of procreation could mark you as a sex offender. And it’s no secret these laws are left ambiguous intentionally because they are used almost exclusively against queer sex. Meanwhile, you couldn’t criticize the SOR without being labeled as a child abuser advocate.

But people who panic and assume we just need harsher laws are the same people who pull out the Shirley Exception—“well surely if it was one of the above crimes, the person wouldn’t be put on the sex offender list!”

per that last post about headcanons it’s like. establishing your first principle that “yes this contradicts canon but I’ve decided to ignore that” is going to make me feel so much less inclined to get bitchy about something that feels like a willful misreading of the text
