IA. I've seen it happen, and work, BUT the rapist took responsibility, was penitent, and put their victim's feelings and wellbeing first long before the idea of them returning to the community was ever floated.

That is not what's happening here, not by a long way. People are honestly talking about the option while Kynn is still saying she "looks forward" to court and tries to bargain for posts being taken down and it just doesn't work like that.
