    I’m generally not an apologist but brother he was like 19 without a fully cooked noodle, has spotlighted what he did wrong, full out publically apologized, and stopped production to (supposedly) work on himself.

    Is there no such thing as forgiveness? What else should he do? Would you like him to give you, personally, a literal pound of his flesh?

    Pedophiles get the rope. Rapers should be desexed and shunned. Sex pests though? Fucking awful behaviour but the ongoing reaction is unreal.

      Oh shit he took some time off, guys. To work on himself.

      Have statements like that ever not been bullshit?

      And I’m sorry, but didn’t he assault multiple women who were too drunk to consent? I was playing it safe when I said “sex pest” because I hadn’t remembered the exact claims. But I just looked into it again, and yeah fuck that dude.

        Yeah, I’ve read the allegations as well, and you know what it sounds like to me? A 19 year old who grew up with shitty American sex-ed believing that a “soft no” is a real thing.

        Again, not trying to downplay this, it’s shitty behaviour, but what would you like to see happen?

        From what I understand he acknowledged his accusers, denied the one (unnamed accuser) accusation of rape, apologized, and no charges have been filed. So… what do?
