Well, on another site i saw a gif/video of Brand defending himself. To sum up, he said he has been very open about his past promiscuity many times in the past, all encounters were consensual, has witnesses contradicting the accusations, it's a very directed agenda by specific media towards discrediting him and to stay tuned for how it turns out.
Masterson already had a trial and was proven guilty. Has that happened in Brand's case as well? If not, then please avoid treating it as such, for you would be incorrect.
About Brand, i don't really care in particular. It's the mob lynching i'm wary of. Branding people as guilty before it is an established fact seems to be a gulty pleasure, pun intended, of even lemmy users.
I'd like for people to stop doing that before it becomes the normal thing to do.
About this conversation, i only care because communication is the foundation of civilization. We have many languages, so it's a pretty big part of who we are, even though some of us have come to dread talking to one another.
I have no ill meanings in this whole thing, only that we should try to be better for our own state of wellbeing.
