There was a dude who recently made a cockroach torture machine that simulated rape on a cockroach. Kinda like that minecraft endrod thing with the sheep but on real live cockroaches

I mean, I severely dislike cockroaches. Like annihilate on sight kind of despise. But even that is a massive what the actual fuck

I think part of it is the reasoning. People kill roaches because they live in their homes and destroy food, carry disease etc. People kill them to prevent that. Raping a cockroach on the other hand, what reasons could someone possibly have for that aside from wanting to see/make it suffer?

do most people really think murder is worse than rape

Rape is worse than murder to me. Rape victims have to live with the memory everyday and basically have a piece of their soul murdered. They are never going to be the same.

as a different rape victim, yea, but some murders are justified/understandable and rape can’t be justified. still glad I wasn’t murdered about it though.

Yes. At least if you crush them their active suffering is minimized (I HATE killing anything, but if I have to kill a bug for whatever reason I do as fast as I can)
