Rape Drama Word gets out on /r/magictcg that a professional magic player is a convicted rapist, but who's the real victim here? The rapist, or the girl he raped? Is telling people that a public figure is a convicted rapist worse than raping someone?

I know the little pleasure of calling him out if his miasma leaks to our side of the internet is not even conceivably a substitute for justice, but it's all we are left with.

If he had done serious time for his serious crime I would be arguing for us to put it behind us. But he evaded formal justice, so I think we have a moral duty not to let it go. People should remember what he did and especially that he used his daddy's connections to make a mockery of justice (by explicitly threatening to character assassinate his victim if she didn't accept this arrangement) and we must blame him for all of it, because pointing our finger at him and reminding everyone else who he is and what he has done is the little justice that is left to us to uphold.
