This is why I sincerely do not believe in ‘cancel culture.’ Who’s actually been cancelled? Cuz every time I’ve ever seen a rich/powerful/famous man get credibly accused of assaulting women (we’ve seen the Cassie Ventura video), he walks. Weinstein is the literal only exception I know of.
It's so weird when y'all say cancel culture is just being punished for crimes you commit. "He raped someone and went to jail for it that's cancel culture." That's a fucking weird statement.
Also I don't know why you think Michael Jackson's career had been ended. He was scheduled to start a new tour the next month after his death.
Cancel culture is a bullshit term. You’re painting yourself as a member of an undesirable cadre. People below already provided multiple examples of accusations being well founded, so I won’t repeat them.
The lead prosecutor is the same person (James Comey’s daughter, Maurene) that prosecuted Gislaine Maxwell, and prevented the human trafficking ring from being publicly exposed. She’s doing the same thing here.
The 12 jurors are part of the same population that voted for trump. Are we really still surprised at an average group of people making nonsensical decisions...
Can someone correct me if I’m wrong here? I recall some reporting saying that the charges being brought against him placed notoriously difficult burdens on the prosecution. I also recall this being brought up when his defense rested after something like 15-minutes. Given that, is this verdict really such a shock? For my part, I think this is a pretty clear instance of “smoke meaning fire,” but the burden of proof can be tough.
I refuse to click through from any headline, anywhere, that references this guy using his idiotic nickname. That results in me not knowing anything about him, and deprives "news" platforms of a billionth of a cent of ad revenue, both of which I think are for the best.
