@zeezeemoomoo I hope it stops. I imagine it gets reeeelly old very fast

@queerhackerwitch Most of the time it is

@gme That’s incidental. My point is that the evidence is dismissed off hand. No one keeps a running record of every moment of their lives. When victims present what they have, the default reaction from a lot of people is to dig at the victims; not deeper into what’s presented in front of them

Powerful abusers get away for years because an army of little people don’t get to pool their experiences

@cypnk How would you propose to change things then?

How would you feel if you were falsely accused about something and the accuser was accepted and believed without having to present any evidence of your wrongdoing?

@gme This is literally addressed in the original toot:

“...but somehow digs up texts, IMs etc...”

I’m not sure why you insist that I’m implying accusations without evidence

Again, the point is that presented evidence is discarded. Victims are pressed for a running detail with a resolution no one has

Please read the original toot again if that’s not clear

@cypnk Sorry. I fail to see how that was addressed which is why I was seeking clarification.

Even after reading your original toot I still fail to see but whatever.

Thank you for your time.

@cypnk selves working on each other is so often terrifying

@cypnk Or, you know, you could just stop lying about shit and people would believe you.

@todiwan This was in relation to recent events regarding well known individuals in both the entertainment and tech communities who, for years, have gotten away with abuse and harassment

On the contrary, it’s the accusers, even after presenting evidence, who are punished (look up Ambra Battilana Gutierrez)

@cypnk Doubt it, but if you're telling the truth, and the accusers genuinely do (surprisingly) have some legitimate evidence, then sure, you might have a point.

@cypnk a prime example of how “I reject your reality and substitute my own” isn’t always a good thing
