Alledged rape. Presumption of innocence.

I'm not a fucking jury or newscaster so I'm not sure why you're coming at me with that incel shit.

He fucking did it anyway.

The allegations say it was ten years ago. Can we have women turn to the police before their rapist turn famous and rich?

Yeah I just found out this British guy is a cunt and some pseudo crazy Jesus christ right winger, but not everyone who's awful is really guilty

Oh joy, rape apologia, what a wonderful thing to wake up to in the morning. 🤦

THIS GUY RAPED ME, BAN HIM

And it was great, too. 😈

You know what the best part is? Statistically the odds of me suffering any negative consequences for raping you is so small as to be insignificant, so it literally doesn't even matter.

Even if I did, people like you would run to my beck and call simply because you think rapists should not be held accountable on principle, so I have even less to worry about.

So yes, I raped you, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Nothing.
