  The two are entirely separate for me. I'm not sure why I have to weigh them up against each other.

  > I don't really get why most the discussions here about the rape case. While very important to him personally, to us the rest of the world the implications of the WikiLeaks should be way more important, or am I wrong? Why do we nowadays talk about Harvey Weinstein's rapes and not ignore them because his movies are far more important to the "rest of the world"?

    My comment was out of disappointment: how much HN traffic generates the condom of Assange in comparison with how the justice handled the leaks case. It's almost like, sex would be more important to chat than freedom? Or are we all already in agreement over WikiLeaks and banter here only about the dropped rape case? If yes, it wasn't obvious to me, sorry. I do trust the justice to be served to proven rapists and if not, by all means let's raise our voices. And by the way, the case of Weinstein is by no means comparable with Assange's, in scope or implications - which cases again were not the topic here but look at me, getting dragged into the very out-of-topic discussions I complained about.

    You're seriously trying to compare what WikiLeaks exposed to a bunch of hollywood movies?

      No, I'm pointing that that we don't let other achievements eclipse "being a rapist" anymore.
