there’s a post going around that i want to address—i’m the author of the text file in the post in question (and thus the one who took the file down cause i really did NEED to make this post!)

[sexual assault warning in readmore]

okay, i don’t want to be “that guy” and i will admit that this post is going to be very “white knight”y, but I really feel quite uncomfortable about everyone dogpiling poor old ren, and acting as if creating a lynch mob based on one side’s account was somehow the mature and sensible thing to do

hold up do you even know what lynching IS

it is murder by mob committed against someone who is not towing the party line

you are comparing this to people’s discussion about someone who, at the most charitable, severely violated someone else’s personal space

so the implication here is that even talking about what the transgressor is accused of having done is morally reprehensible

this is the first thing it occurs to you to say. no mention of whether what e did was actually bad. no, people are talking, and that just won’t do.

rather than questioning why private boundry disputes are being aired in public in the first place.

Surely this should be dealt with between nishi and reyn, as it is kind of important that intimate partners should feel comfortable with one another in their personal bubbles. That’s something that really has to be sorted out in such a relatiosnship, no?

in other words, someone who is sexually assaulted should shut up about it and talk it out with the assaulter?

how does this sound remotely reasonable to you

you are prioritizing someone’s reputation over someone’s body

It’s very easy to dehumanize someone when you’re behind a computer screen and a mob, but can people please stop acting like renard isn’t a person themselves, with dreams, hopes, aspirations, thoughts and feelings.  As i understand he already feels bad enough about the situation, he doesn’t need your help to feel as such

stalin loved cowboy movies and was amazing at billiards

What I see is a bunch of people who don’t know him (admitedly, I have only briefly made his aquitance), making some pretty wild assumptions.

what on earth does “knowing” someone have to do with it

oh gosh that dude just ran over my cat but oh i don’t know him so who am i to judge him for his actions instead of for what his friends say about him

(furthermore, appologies about pronouns, but their doesn’t really fit into a lot of parts of speech in a natural fashion, i respect gender neutral folk! But english has a syntax that must be respected too. :>)

ok you are a huge fucking jackass fyi

i don’t know how you can lecture everyone about condemning someone they don’t know, and then turn around and in the same fucking breath admit you don’t give a crap about eir pronoun preferences because it makes writing your bad post a little harder

use fucking spivak

you have no more respect for the accused as a person than you have for the victim as a person. fuck you.
