Krustin,
The criticism is not that BKs condone or cause rape and violence, although some may argue that enforced expectations for detachment, subservience, celibacy, tolerance of injustices, abuses of power etc might cause a psychological predisposition in some people to ”explosions” of suppressed emotions. Like the BK man in Delhi who stabbed his ”senior Brother”. (I don't blame him, that senior Brother was a creep, overbearing and arrogant. Being under his ‘command' 24/7 would have been a continual ”test” - to use a BK term).
The criticism of the PBKIVV (a.k.a. BKWSU) is like criticisms of the Vatican over child sexual abuse. Both are made up of ordinary, fallible human beings but pretend otherwise.
It is the official response that is criticised, the practice of denying and covering up crimes for the sake of public image rather than cooperating with the legal system. And rather more than just ‘cooperating', but actually reporting crimes, coming forward with evidence or handing over the criminal him/herself or witnesses and so on, rather than waiting to be forced.
