When you have even women saying "why did she go to his hotel room at 2am" then I think it explains the way society generally view these type of "rape" cases.
Therefore Tyson is a rapist but not really a "bad" rapist (Just incase Missy reads this, it's not my view, merely how I believe the majority view it. Rape is rape.)

I don't think anyone has forgotten; many just don't care.
It's part of a societal problem in many places around the world: sexism, male-privilege.
Tyson's violent past was already known in 1986, BEFORE he won his 1st World Title.
Everyone knew this was a 19 year old kid that had been arrested multiple times, had been in reform schools, and had mugged and beaten little old ladies when he was 13 and 14 years old.
At Tyson's peak in 1988, Larry Holmes was offered a pile of money to come out of retirement and challenge Tyson.
He was asked about the Mike Tyson phenomenon, and Larry knew about the sociopathic history and stated that Mike Tyson was no credit to boxing and would ultimately self-destruct, put himself in prison somehow.
Of course people got all p!$$ed off at Larry that time, shouting "jealousy"", because everyone was crazy about Tyson right then, Tyson was on the cover of loads of magazines, not just boxing magazines neither, and was in the news regularly for his Boxing accomplishments, and on tv shows and had endorsement deals.
Larry knew Tyson's dark past and wasn't giving him a by like all the millions and millions of fans did and continue to do.
Tyson on beating up 7 hookers:
Mike Tyson's 'lowest point' was drunkenly beating up 7 hookers while high on cocaine | Mail Online
Damn, a morphine drip to top it off, nice
Tyson was found guilty in a court of law and served his sentence.
I think the worst offence Tyson did in boxing was the ear biting.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
To me rape isn't rape just like crime isn't crime, I don't look at a shoplifter the same way I look at a murderer and I don't look at a rapist who forcibly held a girl down, threatened to kill her if she told anyone or tried to escape, and raped her as she cried the same way I would look at a guy who had what he thought was consentual sex but it turned out she had been drinking, or she later said she was thinking no without saying it, ect ect.
