Rape and pedophilia should be life sentence. In theory should be death penalty for such soulless act but there is always this risk of killing an innocent, while you can at least be compensated for wrongful conviction. What matters is to remove those people from society ASAP

About the swedish study posted above and similar things i read about other countries, my understanding is that refugees from Africa and Asia are more likely to commit rape than any other group. What i think has big influence is the women rights in their country/culture are far below swedish standards. As example when it comes to second generation of immigration born and raised in Sweden the % of rapists is quite low if not proportional.

The over representation is a very bad look but the entire community is not responsible for this, by all logic if you have a huge influx of people from whatever country there is also a decent influx of criminals that comes with it.

Well i hope the laxist justice is due to Sweden becoming soft as you said and soon they wake up. Hope it's not some bs manoeuver to avoid discussions regarding immigration as if the average joe from Africa and Asia would want rapists to get a free pass anyways

This pretty much sums up my impression of the situation in Sweden, but the areas that have been negatively affected by immigrant crime and riots have reached absolutely absurd levels of conflict and tension over the past decade or so.

Local politicians, like Lotta Hansson who don't actually live anywhere near the no-go zones have been trying to defuse the negative attention that those areas have gotten by suggesting that it's all been blown out of proportion or that it's not as bad as some people make it out to be, but I've seen first hand how bad it's been. I used to have a friend who lived in Rosengård, Malmö, and he was forced to move after months of putting up with rape attempts on his girlfriend, stabbing attempts outside of his apartment, and cars being set on fire every week. He got used to the sight of Molotov Cocktails being thrown around the parking lot near his apartment complex.

I've only visited him there once, which was almost 10 years ago now, so I'm not sure what the current state of the place is, but it used to be so bad there that police didn't even dare to enter those zones. Hence, why they're called "no-go zones". I travel to Sweden about once every other month, and it's usually to Stockholm, Gothenburg or just across the border for some shopping, and it's largely peaceful in those cities. But I do think it's quite surreal how bad the most crime affected areas were. Sweden are extremely politically progressive, but I would never have imagined that things would get so out of hand there.

In other Swedish news, I recently read that Swedish movies will now be marked with an "A" symbol to indicate that there are at least 2 female main characters in them. Small step for humanity, giant leap for womenkind

Yeah, it's not "immigrants" that are the problem. I'm not sure how to put this, but I really don't think the progressive, political stances of the northern countries mesh that well with immigration. A perfect example of this is how (Sweden and Norway, at least), always seem to accept larger bulks of immigrants than we can provide housing and general sustenance for on a short notice. Such a situation doesn't benefit anyone involved, but we do it anyway. I think I've mentioned this on here before, but the number one reason for crime in the world, is when individuals or a group of people are made to feel isolated or alienated from their society for whatever reason.

Norway is also a very progressive country, and we've had a lot of issues with our attempts to help immigrants adapt to our culture and society. I could write a book about how backwards and counter-productive our handling of immigration is in certain areas of the process, and it's ironically all in the name of having a progressive and open-minded approach to these things.

We handle everything immigration-related with silk gloves, which might seem like a kind and respectable thing to do on the surface, but it's also an effective way of saying "you're different, so we will treat you differently". That's my view on it, at least. We also had issues with immigrants being represented in the greater bulk of rape cases here a few years back, and the government's response to it was to implement rape awareness courses into our mandatory, cultural integration courses for immigrants lol.

I know I posted a video from that course with subtitles on here somewhere. It's hilarious. One of the attendees was asked what he thought about the course, and his response was that he had to show up in order to be eligible to receive welfare checks

Like, what function does it have? My best guess is that it's a badge of pride for the producer of the movie, if they're someone who really cares about gender equality. It might attract viewers who care about that stuff as well. Some people have weird priorities, these days. I still can't get over the fact that the city I live in spent a ton of money on changing the word for nurse to a more gender neutral word in all written and electronic documents/labels here. It's almost as if we have no actual issues to worry about

The problem with today's cinema is this is what producers care about primarily rather than the actual quality of the movie

The movie will proudly wear the Scarlet Letter to champion equality.
And the S letter to account for shit quality of the movie.

Success, as far as I'm concerned!
