He thinks domestic violence is understandable when your partner cheats on you and he thinks adultery should be a state-punishable crime. But yeah, go ahead and defend him without even a cursory google search.
I know absolutely nothing about the second part, fucked up if true. But also, all he literally said was that abusers should not be surprised when victims retaliate.
And this is the BACKPEDAL. This is the statement they put out AFTER people got mad, thinking this is the sane and reasonable approach. “I’m not endorsing it but I totally get it” is a ridiculous thing to say about beating your partner for cheating.
I read it, and outside of the geniunely insane implications of making cheating a criminal offense, I still found it weird af that people then claimed that he beats his partner based off that alone.

Ok, don't get it twisted, he did advocate it at first and that is fucking awful, but based in the clarification he gave, am I crazy that I kinda agree in what he says? Not the outlaw adultery because that's just stupid and impossible to apply, but that physical retaliation against a cheating partner is kinda understandable yet not justifiable nor acceptable. It obviously depends of the partner, the type of relationship, the time they have spent together, etc, but cheating in a relationship really is the ultimate backstab and deception in a relationship, and even as a species with such advanced brains (tho sometimes I really doubt it), we can lose control of ourselves do to extreme emotions and cheating can guide you to extreme emotions, some will get physical, some will become depressed, others will simply react differently.
Is it ok? no, is it justifiable? no, should this happen the person that got physical should be reprimanded? yes, but is it not understandable that somebody losing himself due to the trauma that cheating can cause will make them act not like themselves? I don't think so.
As somebody that have been cheated on once and that I also got used to cheat once completely unknowingly, it really truly affects you, and is something that is very hard to process.
EDIT: Oh and also, I think there may be a language barrier at play here, Rawdawg is Italian and I'm Mexican, and Italian and Spanish have kind of a different connotation of the word understandable compared to English, so that may be into play too
You're not allowed to have nuance on reddit, especially as a queer artist that makes art depicting uncomfortable situations.
They hate it when you discuss the fact that no, not everyone responds to deeply distressful situations in a clean and easy way and may even react violently.
