Quick question: would you have this exact same opinion if you were in Swifty's shoes? Would you be okay if you lost your job, money and got irreparably defamed online, because people were too quick to act before finding you if you actually were guilty or not of the accusations?
Would you still be thinking "eh, only I got fucked over this, despite me being innocent, so it's fine"?
Look...if im wrong and the guy turns out to be a monster...ill opologize (lol, nobody cares but whatever)
I may be biased because im strongly against cancel culture, outrage channels and gossip channels.
What im trying to say is
There is peoples lives at stake and we cant simply cosplay Robin Hood and go around destroying peoples lives WITHOUt PROOF.
That is wrong
That is the Police job.
Thats my standing on this topic.
You understand that this supports my argument? They dropped him while the accusations where in the room, but he had no long lasting consequences due to this. And while they are current, he was still able to gather a lucrative movie role he himself wanted to play and contacted the director for. The narrative is that false accusations are ruining lifes. The reality is, that the few false accusations that happen are rarely have major consequences while women going public with their accusations actually helped to identify predators who were active for years or even decades.
I would say the sad part is, that currently, the most many women who fall prey to predators can hope for is them loosing some sponsorship.

Innocent until proven guilty
If Swifty turns out to be guilty I will shit in my hands and clap.
Probably running on a Pentium 4
I mean, outrage channels and gossip channels are shit, but lets be honest, how many of them are actually feminist when it comes to video gaming? Most of the channels I'm aware in any nerdsphere tend to be on the right to far right and mainly concerned with minorities and women being allowed to exist in their media ruining it somehow. And there isn't really much of a cancel culture. Most of the time when such accusations come up, the most that happens is that the person in question has to lay low for a period at most spanning months, until they are back in business again, outside of the few cases where a conviction actually happens.
Hell, James Gunn was cancelled due to an alt-right troll harder than the majority of men facing accusations of sexual misconduct from women. And you also have to understand, false accusations are incredibly rare statistically speaking and that very few women would go through the shit of publicly stating that a man sexually harassed or even raped them just for fun. Or would you find it entertaining to show yourself to the entire world wide web as a rape victim?
The problem with your argument that this is the police job is, that the police doesn't do the job. Very often, women who try to report that they were raped are just send away and actual lawcases are incredibly rare, compared to the number of women who suffered sexual harassment or assault once in their lifes. Women go public on twitter with this cases, because the system won't do shit.
Yes, now read it again.
Does it read like someone who's innocent and got sexual abuse accusations thrown at him?
No - it reads like someone who's guilty and got accused, and is now trying to show his innocence by saying how great he is. One line of 'these are false btw' among several paragraphs of 'look at me im so nice' is not a good look.
Also mighty hilarious to see his statement end with 'these are the only comments I will be posting regarding this situation' knowing he would just be lying himself into a deeper grave if he said more.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable - but then those goldshire cloons aren't npc quests with achievmeents, endorsed by the company, fearing that the woke left crowd will come after them next and wipe out billions from their stock market share becuse of boycotts.
it's fear that is driving this and empowering this lunatic behaviour.
You can counter by quitting wow, and deciding if you feel this is wrong, then sorry blizzard, I'm out. When they notice people will leave for knee jerk reactions like that, they'd think twice.
The funny thing about the cancel culture stuff going on, is that all those companies and shows firing people because of tweets, fearing they'll be hit bad.. they're all going down anyway, yep, every single one of them. The same fear rand cowardly mentality, that chooses fear over justice, greed over justice - will die by their own sword. They dig graves for themselves and they would be buried by the very same things they tried to appease, when they should have stood up to it and stopped it.
The Incels and Simps in here are too damn high.
Shut the fuck up and wait it out before spouting shit and sounding like the fucking idiots who accused Johnny Depp or being an abuser immediately, only to be proven wrong and looking like utter arseholes.
