With all the sexual assault accusations...

[Toogoodman]

I'd say 95%+ are telling the truth. There really isn't much, if anything, to gain by making false accusations in these circumstances.

95%+? You have way more faith in humanity than I do

[Allybeboba]

Where? Whose career?

In each and every thread about a police officer.
In the thread about the “doctor” on the plane.
In the thread about the second “doctor” on the plane.
In the thread about Cecil the lion.

I really could go on. We really do alway have people here that don’t give others the benefit of the doubt before they jump to conclusions. They are simply here to push their political agendas.
Quite pathetic when you think about really. Looking at the world as black and white issue when there is a myriad of colors out there. I kind of feel sorry for them. Don’t you all?

I must be in the top 5%. I have been called a liar on this forum by a certain group innumerable times. Lol...

[Ghostpanther]

Any accusations without any creditable evidence to support such, needs be looked at as nothing more than a he/she said. But in the case of the media, they should be held responsible and pay penalties for reporting accusations with out evidence to support said claims. Such is what happened with Melania Trump , when a media source published something bad about her and she sued them and they had to settle out of court by apologizing to her and paying her millions.

But I think there should be a law which does not let any media news report unsubstantiated defamatory info about people without any evidence. Because even if the person is innocent, such allegations can create a very negative public opinion about a person when they are innocent of such claims.

I prefer my own solution, which is to not have anything to confess.

So when someone asks you if you want cake or pie you just say "I'm on a diet"?

Your answer isn't an option in the question lol.

Honestly, even with the ones who are completely guilty, I don't see the point in ever admitting it. You're pretty fucked either way but confirming it just puts you a bad situation legally speaking. I think there's zero upside unless it was a very long time ago while you were young and dumb. Then MAYBE redemption is possible.

You're probably right, that makes a lot of sense. Not to mention most of this accusation are pretty hard to prove after so long and there's basically no evidence.

[Video Games]

If they had any decency, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. Not trying to rape somebody is extremely easy.

You have Donald Trump to thank that for with his "grab them by the pussy" philosophy.

I believe you offendee are misquoting that there's a "they let you" before that grab by the pussy bit in the original context, referring to obscenely high-status men usually being able to do that.

[Morssoe]

No I'm talking about the very specific cases of people in power offering things like career opportunities in exchange for sexual favors. What is going on in the news right now, not your typical awkward misunderstanding.

Lol, the "victims" are worse here. They give sex so they can climb their way up, then at the top they try to get more attention by saying they assaulted you, while the truth is that no one was forced to do anything.

[lewdest]

I'd be so pissed if I got arrested and crucified for making an inappropriate joke 30 years ago. If I'm going to lose my career and shit anyway, can I at least fuck a hot actress? #metoo

I kind of agree with that to some extend. I know both sides have their wrongs. Like you said the victims were not forced, they could have said fuck that shit and move on to a different opportunity or just straight up change job. But it's not like what the Weinsteins of this world are not doing anything wrong either.

I remember a couple years ago there was an actress who did an interview and the interviewer asked her why it took so long before she became famous and she said something like "you don't know how this industry works, it's really hard to become famous while keeping your integrity" or something along those lines. I completely forgot who it was tho, wish I would remember, I'm sure she knows some shady shit.

Luckily for us, that's not how the law works.

That's also not how reality works either. Maybe in alt-right alternative reality?

By agreeing to go to a private setting with him you're opening yourself to the realistic possibility of private things happening in your vicinity which might be somehow inappropriate but necessarily not criminal, you know?

[xuros]

Its sad now how the woman's word that it happened is enough to get someone tossed out without anything more than her word it happened. I'm all for standing up for our women but if you accuse someone you need to prove it. Like those women in Alabama with that guy running for office(forget his name) and saying he did this and that to them 20 or 30 years ago and the idiots saying "saying yeah i believe them" based only on their word.

Well I would never get in that situation to actually abuse a girl sexually. But let's say for the threads sake that I did.
I would appologize, not try to find an excuse like "I was drunk" or "on drugs". Just man up, accept my responsibility, ask what I can do to make it right.

In case of Kevin Spacey, he was like 24-25 years old when that happened. People do stupid shit in their 20's, I don't think he should be attacked for something that happened 35 years ago.

Sexual assault is very far beyond stupid shit in actions.

Pretty sure the Feminazis were well along the path of calling everything "harassment" before Trump even entered the Political Stadium.

Case in point, the retards like Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn were being obnoxious cunts long before the US candidates.

People always like a scapegoat to save themselves from doing any critical thinking.

[Jotaux]

People keep ignoring the important fact that accusations alone isn't enough for a trial... That's why rape is difficult to prove.

Yes if there's enough evidence to warrant a court I will certainly think he's possibly guilty

But there isn't enough evidence for a trial, hes only suspected and thats due to the accusations. The case will never go to court, theres no evidence and he will just be assumed guilty like how you are doing now.

Well just dropping someones pants and trying to have sex is not equal to a forced penetration under gun/knife threats.

[Deleted]

You are saying if there is evidence of the allegation, then I agree with you. However in many cases there isn't any evidence, so it makes it very tough. My philosophy is that even without evidence, we can support the victim without taking a stance on who is right/wrong until they've had their day in court.

But false accusations ruining lives is still uncommon. Certainly not to the extent certain men like to push

I don't think you've met many people that have been falsely accused in your life. Had I guy I went to High School with, his Partner lied and told everyone he beat her up.
People ostracized him. 6 months or so later she admitted she actually lied about it. Yet years later you bring up his name around people and always hear 1 or 2 people say "I don't talk to him anymore since he beat up Emily" to which when people say "but he didn't though" there are always people that will still think he did and repeat it.

That wasn't even the only time I've seen it happen in Real-life either. Lying whores basically filled 50% of the Female population where I was from.

I don't think you have...

I had two friends falsely accussed... One for rape the other for having child porn. They were quickly cleared and the only people that suffered were those that falsely accused
