and posting about how YOU'RE grieving about it... how gauche. have some dignity

This isn’t like posting about a celebrity dying of cancer before their time and how it’s sad, this is a literal predator, I feel like maybe people can sit this one out

Or maybe people are sad because it's a "him too?" It is sad. It's sad this many men are predators.

There’s a difference between that and centering your own grief rather than that of his victims when a dude turned out to be Very Bad

IDK. I think it's a rampant problem that most definitely will trigger people's PTSD on the topic. Of course your own grief will make an appearance. Both things can exist at the same time and share in the solidarity of this epidemic of SA we have.

What

#HimToo I like this. Thank you. And yes, it's sad 😕 Thank goodness now we're actually getting a glimpse of what a patriarchy does to us all.

Jfc

So... do you think people are all happy, thriving, connected, and quite equal in terms of money and influence - in our current system? 'Patriarchy' - perhaps a lot of men hear that word and feel implicated, when actually everyone's trapped! I'm trying to get my head around your puzzling comment.

Watching lots of true crime stuff with my wife, almost every show has the obligatory "I never suspected him/her" from a friend of the accused. Even if the criminal is a serial killer, the killer doesn't kill *everyone* they know. Other than my time as a juror on a murder trial, I stay out of it.

Oof. I went to unfollow but I guess I did that already because he's more active than a chat bot. Being a creep of that calibre is an instant "Nope"

i think he nuked his account

I can understand that a lot of people are hesitant to believe the ultimately completely unsourced and sketchily worded Tortoise article, but apparently the things he's directly told Rolling Stone in the past are on their own pretty Not Great, even if they're legal.

We literally just had on here someone who used their clout as a minor celebrity on a niche microblogging website to sleep with people and be a creep. It is absolutely not a shock if a rich and famous man sleeps with fans who could be his grandchildren, and it ain't great.

The thing is even if they’re not being truthful, HE confirmed that there was a “relationship.” And that’s pretty messed up all by itself. His version of events is still pretty fucking bad actually

This. The best it could be is that he’s a gross creep. Thats the absolute best outcome. What are you defending?

Saying nothing is literally free

“Stay out of it” would legit make the internet more peaceful

Ben Franklin advocated for our national slogan to be placed on money should not be “e pluribus unum” but rather “mind your business”

I thought you were joking, how is that literally true

franklin had a bunch of business he didnt want others minding

RIP Ben Franklin, you would have loved private quote RT and probably four lokos

The trick is to never build your entire personality around being a fan of someone else.

Why would I make my personality around being a fan of someone else when I'm not even a fan of me?

This is ultimate zen enlightenment, now nobody can disappoint you, not even yourself.

I haven't even read a thing his victims have said. Like a 50 year old man having a relationship with his 22 year old au pair is just plain wrong.

Seriously, even if you are personal friends with the victim or accused rapist you can’t know for sure it didn’t happen. Unless you are literally a witness to the alleged crime or an alibi against it, don’t start throwing doubt around like that!

He raped the nanny ffs. How are we defending this? He even admitted some of it. Wtf is wrong with you? Nobody’s shit is that good.
