I’m schizophrenia and autism. I am a convicted sex offender and am being strongly told I must take the testosterone block medication andracur. Do you think I should be able to refuse.

    Sure… I’m asking whether you think there’s a big difference in people who would say “kill the fucker” and people who would actually stand behind advocating for the death penalty for him, irl, if needed.

    Well, we’re in a thread talking to a convicted pedophile, so I’ll refrain from judging morally. TBH I’ve found the more factual I am on the internet the better it goes.

    There’s a difference between saying it and genuinely believing it, yes. Although, most people aren’t actually going to decide if they’re serious until they have to, because ethical analysis of the criminal justice system isn’t a typical interest. It’s more of a spectrum of seriousness, really.

    and don’t the US serve convictions of like 3 consecutive life sentences so that it’d just a very surreal way of making sure they stay in jail?

    Yes, that is a thing. Legal fictions are funny.

      Yeah definitely I’m not gonna talk about the morality of that, I think we all entered with the assumption of understanding that.

      Yep. And communication on pseudonymous Internet forums is a every different context from real life.

      Agreed
