the NHL commissioner is spending valuable time in real life stressing over the portrayal of a FICTIONAL version of himself on a tv show

but the league can’t do anything to make the NHL a more welcoming/safe place for queer people and now an accused rapist is in the finals

Rapists, and killers, too? Really? (Those on death-row?) The drug/prostitution problems are just a portion of USA criminals.

yes, all criminals. the moment you say “except X criminal” is the moment that people will try to convict their opponents as having committed X crime.

it’s the same thing as what’s going on right now with people equating drag to some sort of child exploitation. “but the children!!” they wail, and people listen because oh, if drag is harming children, then drag MUST be BAD, so we HAVE TO BAN DRAG.

do you understand what i’m saying? you can’t take away the rights of any category of criminal, because suddenly that category will be overflowing with people who totally 100% definitely committed that horrible crime.

Just to look at this from one step further back, let's accept the premise. Let's imagine that there is a type of crime that is 1) horrible evil irredeemable universally-agreed-upon bad, and 2) could somehow be prosecuted with 100% accuracy and 0% bias. Yes, even then, those criminals deserve a right to vote.

Do you they're going to like vote themselves out of jail? Vote to make murder legal? What exactly are you afraid of.

Realistically they'll just... vote just like anyone else. They'll help elect city councilmembers they think will better their hometowns, and presidents they think will best serve the country. They might even vote in their own interests! To reform prisons, fund rehabilitation programs, and outlaw predatory practices by telecoms. Are you saying you don't want any of those things?

And even if there were one of those super-duper-unambiguously-evil totally misanthropic death-row convicts, who's scheduled to be execute the very next day and just wants to sow chaos and watch the outside world burn however they can... what's the worst they could do, vote republican?

Taking people's rights away isn't bad because it might happen to someone you like, it's because taking people's rights away is bad.

do people think that convicted serial killers are going to vote to legalize serial killing

Did you know that once you are out of jail, thwre are often so many more hoops you have to jump through to get your voting rights restores? Its not just time served and then they come back after prison. In my state the governor has to restore voting rights.

Do you think people should have voting rights removed FOREVER for any felony convictions?? Additionally? If they dont know that and they try to vote they can wind up BACK IN PRISON for trying to complete their civic duties. Its a stupid system.

Representation is for everyone, even the people you think are undesirable. Its already almost impossible for homeless people to vote since proving residency usually requires utility bills. We should not be taking away voting rights from anyone basically indefinitely.
