Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Here I thought the worst part was a child being sexually assaulted, but I guess the worst part was the idea of outrage being directed at the perpetrator.
That's not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it's outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.
We must have read two different articles. Can you quote where in the linked article it said that?
Oh I don't know maybe the first three words?
MONSTERS APPEAL MIGRANT
Or the next three words that follow
the MONSTER migrant
Instead of maybe "the rapist", no we got to tie in that he is a migrant in all caps, at every possible turn.
Also further down referred to as
the MONSTER
Or
the migrant
Oh and also let's rope in some unrelated burglar who also happens to be a migrant.
All very easy to spot so I figure you're not really asking in good faith, just like someone who has an agency in "just asking questions" would do.
So you believe a child rapist isn't a monster, and that we aren't allowed to have heated discourse about the legal loopholes being utilized for foreign criminals to escape justice?
Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:
That's not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it's outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.
You said :
It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?
So don't try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I'm sick of this bullshit.
We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn't in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we're having here.
Damn the projection massive.
Still no relevant response to what I pointed out, buddy,.
I'm not obligated to invest any more serious energy into you, bud. We're allowed to disengage if we feel someone lost the plot.
just an observation, but replying to them is not disengagement.
You want some engagement too now?
Dr of what? Sealioning?
Are you a little bit slow?
It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?
What am I missing?
All the context.
Assuming you are not trolling:
The Sun is being criticized for:
- targeting a group instead of an individual
- using scare language when describing this group
Let's say I want to report on "Police finds wanted man hiding in sofa" (currently on BBC with that headline)
My hateful newspaper do a quick check of his Twitter, and go with "Wanted criminal TRANS ALLY found CRAWLING inside leather furniture"
Does anyone have more info on this situation? This article is super sussy.
More information: the Sun regularly makes shit up to get the racists frothing. Even when it doesn't just make shit up, it presents it using inflammatory language to get the racists frothing. They used to have a picture of a topless woman every day on page 3, often 16 year olds.
In short, the paper is just a cess pit.

Yeah, I know British news doesn't have a uhhhhhh great history.
Based on the article, it sounds like they may be exaggerating the word "assault" given they gave no specifics, and it sounds like the judge legally wasn't allowed to consider that case during the hearing.
I'd rather that it be difficult to remove immigrants than too easy to.
I mean, I'm sure something happened. But The Sun is not what I'd go to for a calm, objective look at something.
checks Kagi and Google News
Nobody else is covering it as of this writing. Now, maybe there's a really big story here. But given the information I currently have available, I'm kind of inclined to doubt it.
If there's something really outrageous, I imagine that other media will also cover it.
What's up with the anti-immigrant fear mongering being pushed here recently? From the Sun, the Express and their likes, no less, shitrags one and all?
Sheikh came to Britain in 2006 as a mature student before overstaying and refusing to leave once his visa ran out in 2011.
The migrant even attempted to stay by submitting a fake degree diploma which he had never actually achieved, according to Tribunal papers seen by The Sun.
Should've been deported for his first offense long before a kid got raped.
A MONSTER migrant
Nazis are dumb.
The juxtaposition of this article, with the other article recent posted about the 13 y/o being harshly sentenced for participation in the riots, is rather nauseating.
Legal priorities.
EDIT: It is wild that some of y'all are only one social stepping stone away from being child rape apologists.
Do you have any problem with far right thugs who attempted to burn people alive ending in prisons?
Absolutely not. This is a 13 y/o kid however, and the circumstances of their involvement seem muddied.
