5. There are a lot of different points of view in those posts on Reddit.

It's hard to imagine a more difficult topic to discuss than rape, and the posts on Reddit are all over the place. Some of the posters sound genuinely remorseful. Others sound like they are pretending to be remorseful but aren't, and still others sound like sociopaths who are not remorseful at all. Some of the posts sound fake to me, but it's impossible to tell for sure.

I can understand why victims of rape would find it very difficult or impossible to read the posts. The internet makes it possible for us to read things like this. Is that helpful? Can we as a society use this information to make things better?
