"She's not a terrorist. She's a RAPE VICTIM!"
Uh, those things aren't mutually exclusive...
shareOlivia believes that if one screams Rape That erases all of the crime they may be involved in.
Slainte 🇮🇪 I am who I am your approval isnt needed or required.
Pretty much.
shareShe will always think that way - sad isn't it.
shareI think that Mariska's personal experience of working with victims of sexual assault is negatively impacting the character and the show. She is no longer acting, she is playing herself with every one of her speeches about rape and with how Benson always believes every word an alleged victim says and not being objective or seeing the bigger picture. I have come to think that is because MH has worked with so many real life victims of sexual assault that she can no longer play Olivia Benson doubting the story of a rape victim or being objective in an investigation. She is instead using the show to advance whatever cause she feels passionately about.
Mariska has too much influence over the show and too many personal experiences with real victims and it has negatively impacted the character and the show.
That's certainly possible. She does have a lot of influence over the show and, in my opinion, that has not been a good thing.
shareIt's especially annoying when a rape victim lies and someone points it out. She always flips out and says it doesn't matter. Now of course a rape victim lying ablut something doesn't mean they deserved what they got and probably that they're making the whole thing up, but it does need to be pointed out. If a suspect of rape lied, she'd hold it against them forever.
Olivia seems to think suspects of rape are guilty until proven innocent. While someone who says they were raped shouldn't be immediately thought of as liars, she can at least wait until the evidence confirms it before deciding right away that the victim is right.

That's more or less what feminists want. Look at the discourse surrounding rape on campuses and the feminist response to it (believe the victim even if she's blatantly lying, like Emma Sulkowicz, aka Mattress Girl, who falsely accused a guy of rape - he was investigated and acquitted of the charges, after she sent him lovey-dovey messages after their sex and then she lugged a mattress around and released a porno of herself being "raped" - and became a feminist folk hero). share
"Feminist" is a broad term and Emma Sulkowicz is one person who managed to manipulate some people. Unfortunately many people and not just feminists are naive and easily manipulated.

And then they're not her problem, regardless of how their lives have been ruined, upheaved, overturned, torn asunder....because the SVU doesn't care about the cost, just the win. share
