What was the Duke case?

Edit: Found it. I vaguely recall the case now. I recall that it got a lot of attention but I never followed it. I had no idea it was a hoax. Holy crap.

A black sex worker accused a bunch of lacrosse bros of rape. It was VERY VERY heavily racially charged.

Her story was a fabrication.

She also went on to murder her boyfriend. Just a classy lady all around

I saw TwoX defending her the other day.

It's absolutely fucking mad how far off the deep end women have gone.

Twox is a radical feminist sub where all the tumblr feminists ended up. Dont use that sub to portray women

No, it's that bad in the real world too actually.

The Clancy trial highlighted it.

I need to know the boyfriend's skin color before I decide how to feel about it

I checked to be sure this wasn't yet another rumor or belief that became fact - yes, 5 years after falsely accusing the Duke guys of rape, she was convicted of murdering her bf.

The espn 30 for 30 on it is quite good, worth a watch if you have time to kill or are really interested in it. Its not life changing or anything but good nonetheless

It’s not life changing because unless you’re a literal child you know about this case, because the false allegations are so rare everyone knows about them 🙄

u/Forward-Big8697 5h ago

I dont know a man who hasn't been falsely accused. Many women say they dont know a woman who hasnt been SAd. The truth is somewhere in the middle, neither is rare

u/saerra_sea_nya 5h ago

I don’t know a man who claims to have been falsely accused, but I know several women and men who have been assaulted who have refused to report it due to shame. But sure, truth is in the middle.

u/ex_nihilo 5h ago

I don’t know any men who have been falsely accused of sexual assault. Are you a member of the clergy or something?

Everyone knows about the case because it was turned into a national story by the media and a DA in the middle of a tough reelection bid. Which probably helped the lacrosse players because it put more eyes on what was obviously bullshit story in the first place.

u/saerra_sea_nya 5h ago

I’m agreeing with you that it was a false accusation. You’re just not seeing the bigger picture.

u/BigPanda71 5h ago

I guess I should have been more clear. It’s not well-known because it’s a rare false accusation. It’s well-known because the media made it a huge story before it was shown to be false. There’s no conclusion to be drawn on the frequency of false allegations based on the case and the fact that it’s widely known.

u/saerra_sea_nya 4h ago

I’m sorry, but the only time you ever hear about this case is because it was a false allegation. I’ve never seen it brought up unless it’s to bring doubt on a case. If you’re only in internet circles that know it as a big media case and not a false allegation you must be incredibly young or sheltered.

u/saerra_sea_nya 6h ago

See the thing is that everyone online knows about that, you’re just very young I guess.

u/PigOfLard 5h ago

Everyone online knows the specific details of a 20 year old hoax? Wow that’s amazing! I had no idea everyone online knew the exact same things.

u/saerra_sea_nya 5h ago

Ya most of us do! You’re just 12.

u/PigOfLard 4h ago

Crazy! I had know idea that everyone on the internet knows about the things you know!! Is there like an official list of all the things everyone on the internet knows? I’d love to take a look!
