The idea that men’s careers will be ruined by false assault allegations is absurd considering how hard it is for credible allegations to have an impact. John Lasseter still works for Disney. Trump is President. Brett Kavanaugh was appointed to the Supreme Court without a proper investigation. Louis C.K. returned to comedy. Woody Allen has 16 Oscar nominations for best Original Screenplay.
It took 60 women accusing Bill Cosby for him to get 3-10 years. He got away with it for decades. He’s 81 so his career came, was celebrated, and is gone already, so no one can bemoan “oh, but think of his career!” as a pseudo-defence as to why he should go unpunished. 60 women came forward and he was convicted of 3 counts of assault…
Even the youtubers we all denounced years ago for their assaults have come back, making music, selling a book that takes advantage of the controversy, and earn thousands on patreon so it seems perpetrators of sexual assault are resilient as ever.
This is why women don’t come forward. They receive death threats, character assassinations, are harassed constantly, and all for what? For their assaulters to continue unaffected.
There are rare instances where something actually happens, like Harvey Weinstein, where Hollywood clawed over itself to go “oh no we don’t stand for that, we need to cut ourselves off from him immediately” to show how proactive they were and yet there are still countless actors out there we know have done horrible shit and continued to be celebrated. They just didn’t get enough news coverage while the #MeToo movement was fresh so there wasn’t any pressure to denounce them.
So ultimately it’s obvious that men can overwhelmingly get away with sexual assault. They do it constantly. The idea that innocent men will be ruined by sexual assault allegations is a fear tactic pushed by sexual predators trying to protect other sexual predators by enforcing the already common disbelief and hostility towards survivors of assault. It’s a bullshit. Don’t listen to it. Don’t be manipulated by it. Believe survivors.
genres are OUTDATED. i sort my music by thottiness, jammability, rebelliousness, theatricality, and depression.
the emo trinity’s average song stats
mcr
fob
patd
as you can see, no one really touches patd for thottiness, but mcr is the only viable choice for an apocalypse anthem. fob is the most well-rounded of the three, but given that they have neither depression, thottiness, nor rebelliousness above an 8 they can occasionally fall shallow philosophically speaking.
‘but where is gayness on this chart?’ you ask, like a moron. rebellion, theatre, thothood, jamming, and depression are the five component parts of every gay worth their salt. next question.
