I feel like people are making kind of a leap here. The reality is that there's no reason at all to go into a thread about someone claiming rape, domestic violence, or sexual harassment and say "I'll wait for more evidence." If you're going to wait for more evidence, just do that. You don't have to loudly proclaim it. The only thing it does is say that the word of the victim and any evidence already supplied isn't enough. It's basically telling survivors that if they don't have a concrete case then they shouldn't come forward. Everyone has the right to stand up and speak their truth, and when they do that what they deserve is support, not blind belief OR callous skepticism. MeToo was always going to face challenges, from without and from within, but it's only "destroyed" when we marginalize the vast majority of men and women who have come forward with honest intent and successfully outed some very dangerous predators, and they wouldn't have been able to do that without support.
So now RE wants to pretend that they're all reasonable about allegations and yet if anyone were to ever post "I don't think person X should lose their job, right now these are just allegations without evidence" they'd get instantly banned.
and - shockingly - that poster is completely wrong in saying there is 'no reason at all'
on an internet message board to state your opinion
on a topic on an internet message board because apart from the fact the
raison d'etre of being
on an internet message board is to discuss things with other people, instead of just posting DAMN, I HATE JOHNNY DEPP for the world to

on your LiveJournal and circle jerk threads
on an internet message board die within minutes when there's nothing to discuss.
But even apart from that banal truism about what
an internet message board actually fucking
is, era are constantly espousing the moral necessity of telling people who have harmful beliefs to maybe cool their fucking jets, which, you know, "I heard a rumour and its fucking true lets form a mob" falls under. Obviously not
on era, but in general.
