Rape is not a mistake that someone makes, and rapists don't deserve redemption.

And they're certainly not going to be redeemed from making a good film. Like wtf is that line of thinking?!

[aleksie]

Didn't Nate Parker also harass the victim after the rape? Like- that's a series of horrific decisions.

I love it when people call it a mistake when it was really a choice. They are entirely different things.

Deliberate choices are what you make. A mistake is what you call it after you get caught.
