This post was deleted for the following reason: This has been flagged a lot, and I'm going to go ahead and delete and say that we can possibly have a post on this, and there are some compelling aspects that can be reasonably discussed -- and, unfortunately, a lot of takes that will reliably lead to a hateful garbage fire of a thread, so it's going to need careful framing and a willingness among participants to navigate such an emotional and awful story thoughtfully for a non-awful discussion. (For an awful discussion, there are already many easily available around the internet.) -- taz
