Many people know of the 2nd longest running Law and Order, "SVU" and it's gruesome yet informative stories.
Not only do they investigate the vicious crimes, sometimes they are a part of said crimes.
Olivia Benson is currently the only original character from the original SVU and has been put through countless hostage situations and has been kidnapped and sexually assaulted herself.
With that being said, this petition is to have the actors and/or writers reconsider continuing down a path for Olivia Benson that is in no way a path she'd ever delve into.
She's a fictional character, yes, but she's a beacon of hope and light for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse.
Her being in a relationship with ED Tucker makes absolutely no sense and contrary to "some" belief, there has never been any history or comradery between the two as Tucker was only a side character there to create tension within the SVU family.
Also, not once, but twice, he has thrown Olivia's sexual assaults in her face and with her being a newish mother and still dealing with a therapist for her PTSD, how was this thought as acceptable?
This is a friendly petition for anyone who wants their voices heard and for their favorite heroine to be written in a more honorable way.
If you don't think it's a big deal, please feel free to ignore.
Attached is a well written essay on why many fans feel this way.
You can find that essay here.

I tried to be open-minded, but I just can't buy this #Tuckson thing, not after years of him being so horrible to her and her hating him. If you watch the older shows (and I do, along with many of us), it makes absolutely no sense.
The Olivia that entranced my teenage heart, spoke directly to me, and was my sunshine in a dark place, is unrecognizable in this relationship.
Some of the things Tucker said to her as a survivor of sexual assault (prior to their relationship) are completely inexcusable. The idea that she would ever even give him a chance to gain her trust is so out of character I can't even take their relationship seriously. I liked them both better when they hated each other.
the whole idea of tuckson is a blow to the original viewership of svu. there is no basis to say that this relationship is plausible. we were given no addition information IN the show itself as to how Olivia SUDDENLY came to "love" Tucker. if you're going to do something like this at least give us a reasonable backstory.
A man who taunted a female character about her sexual assault should never be paired with that woman on any show let alone a show about said issues, regardless of how long ago it happened.

Think about what you're doing and the implications for the show, they ain't good. And remember the shows spent 17 years saying that Olivia benson doesn't need a man to complete her, so why are they forcing a relationship now!?! #fail
