Well if they're accused but not yet found guilty of anything, they are still innocent until proven guilty. I don't have any issues listening to Michael Jackson, because he wasn't found guilty either of the times, and the more you look back and reflect on those cases, the more clear it is that he probably did not do what they claimed he did. Having said that, if they are definitively found guilty of something terrible, I probably could not continue to listen to them.
lol i dont think many people believe in the innocent till proven guilty idea any more......unless ofc its someone they like or know personally, then all of a sudden they flip their shit and complain about people doing the exact same thing they done themselves a few days earlier
lets be honest if society degrades to the point where everyone is found guilty in the court of public opinion on the random claims of random people with no evidence at all then all celebrities and rich people are doomed......actually, all people are doomed full stop......late for work and don't want to get in trouble?....oh yeah, it was because of the PTSD from that time when she groped me 5 years ago in private and nobody can prove or disprove what I'm saying, so just fire her and give me paid leave to get over the ordeal.....oh and yeah to make sure you believe me she probably called me a racial slur too....so like, give her double the sentence please, k tnx bye
Im honestly sad for anyone who is the victim of sexual assault etc, but the position the media/masses are taking of judge jury and executioner is a very worrying one, its going to get to the point where people have to refuse to ever be alone with others unless they are recording their interaction, people will ofc say "urrrgh why would people lie?" but once you have a guaranteed way of ruining someone life and you don't even need any proof and society will just do your bidding and take them out, how long before people looking to further their career realize.....hmmmm i have a good chance of getting the leadership role here but bob wont be retiring for a good 10 years......i wonder if i can encourage one of the girls to file a sexual assault claim against him to speed things up, and then i can promise her lots of promotions etc, then we have the possibility of rivals paying people off to go ruin your company, what if bill gates could have just pay a few poor guys to accuse Steve jobs and cripple apple under hate mobs and boycotts for stuff that simply didn't happen
sure some bad people might get away with shady stuff, but the alternative is worse imho, with peoples lives just getting ruined on baseless claims, kinda like the sue,sue, SUE! mentality in America where people go out of their way to become the victim so they can profit from it, where everyone is looking for their opportunity to grab their slice of the pie.
