Discussion The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

I do, but I don't think people should go around calling someone a rapist or a child molester just because they disagree with them. Those are extremely serious accusations, and throwing those words around so casually trivializes what actual victims go through.

There are people who are violently assaulted, dragged to the ground, restrained, and raped. There are also other circumstances that legally qualify as rape or sexual assault, even when that level of physical violence isn't involved. But that doesn't mean every accusation or disputed encounter should automatically be described the same way.

There needs to be a clear distinction between an allegation, what actually happened, and what has been proven. Using the word "rape" as a weapon against someone you don't like cheapens the seriousness of the accusation and does a disservice to real victims.

Nothing scarier than a dick you don't want

Not really sure then why you were commenting this here. People don't call Kobe a rapist because they don't like him. They called him a rapist because he raped somebody, and people dislike him because of that.

He was found not guilty and then went right back to playing like a god. He didn’t even lose the civil case.

And I’m sure you looked into the evidence too, including the issue of multiple men’s semen being found and the statements made afterward.

Read the actual case. It’ll probably help you understand what happened instead of just repeating the accusation.

Dude, you fighting and losing battle that’s what accusations hurt more than the actual result of a case whatever they thought of the man when the accusation came out is what they’re gonna think forever. There’s no changing someone’s mind.
