@dreighver @Wingy why did this get a “dislike?”
The post played on all the toxic stereotypes about accusers. Money grab, not telling the truth, why did she take so long to come forward?
All questions asked to undermine the integrity of the accuser and question their ethical integrity without knowing any of the context or facts relevant to the case.
It’s no different than automatically assuming the accused is guilty, piling on additional accusations without evidence, and assuming certain inherently unethical things about the accused, again without the presentation of facts and evidence in a formal proceeding.
They’re both inherently flawed perspectives because they are based on stereotypes and generalizations.
When you assume the accuser is being dishonest, disingenuous, and deceitful, you’re implying they’re a morally/ethically corrupt person, in the same way some assume the accused is an ethically/morally corrupt person based on an accusation alone.
We should take both the accuser and the accused in good faith, be as impartial as possible, and allow the legal proceedings to occur, and reach a well-informed conclusion based on said proceeding.
