[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics

[The Architect Of Fate]

I take your point and fair enough if that's how you read it, but I definitely think me being one of the only people defending Chauvin and his rights definitely made that moderator biased against me. 

Bullshit you didn't give flip about "rights" the twisting and lies you engaged in to try and defend him make that clear.

He already thought I was a POS for my views on Chauvin, so of course when he saw that post it was the last straw for him or whatever. I don't know. One can pretty much take anything and twist it around to support what they're saying. Christian apologists do it with Richard Dawkins' quotes all of the time.

No one twisted your words.

 Everyone's position on Cosby now is the same as my expressed position on Kobe was then. "Even if he was guilty, Cosby should have gotten off." "Even if he was guilty, Kobe should have gotten off." See. Same thing. But I accept your response and I would have worded things better if I could go back like you suggested.

That's not EVERYONE's position and no it's not the same. This is just bullshit backtracking.

Good point. I was banned from part of the forum for saying there's no way Kobe Bryant should have been found guilty, because the accuser's friend came out and said it was a fake rape accusation and the accuser admitted she was planning on doing a fake rape accusation for money. If that doesn't qualify as reasonable doubt, what else possibly could, right?

You said, and this is a direct quote:

Maybe I'm biased because Kobe is my favourite player ever, but even if he was guilty, he still should have gotten off because of how shit she was as a human being with her supposed plans to lure Eminem out of money by accusing him of rape.

At best, this is an extraordinarily shitty way of saying that there was some serious evidence that this was a false accusation. Frankly, it's far too easy to read this as rape apologetics. Hell, it's easier to read it as rape apologetics than saying that there's no way he should have been found guilty. This is why, if I go into a discussion on a subject where I'm likely to have an unpopular opinion, I do my damnedest to choose my words very carefully.

It's easy because that's what it was.
