Wow, rapist supporters always have this shitty “argument” that never works. Are you so scared of being accused of rape?
Anyways, this doesn’t work because there is a pretty big amount of reasons to not believe you here (duh). And in the case someone accused me seriously and credibly of rape, then yeah, I would expect people who don’t have evidence pointing one way or another to believe the victim. Sorry, you might be used to your sense of selfishness altering your moral beliefs but it doesn’t work here.
Also, even if I were a rapist as you said, it would not bear any weight in my argument that victims should be believed. If anything, if even rapists were saying that, it would just prove my point even more.
You’re just using the same pathetic attack that everyone who tries to defend rapists ends up using. Are you all brainwashed clones, or just one guy with a lot of fake accounts?
And nice link, but
There’s a big stretch between claiming on a case by case basis that justice has been miscarried, and making a flat out statement that […] victims shouldn’t be believed a priori. I guess your rules only apply on others, once again your moral stances seem to shift with the wind.
20 accusers is a form of evidence, but not 1 accuser? Then how many is evidence, two? Three? And according to your argument, evidence doesn’t matter since what matters is innocence until proof of guilt, which implies being judged and condemned. Unless you consider that you have the authority to decide who is guilty and who isn’t, and then your whole initial point doesn’t exist.
Of course you believe your family, but why? Because families never lie? No, it’s just that you respect your family and you understand that claiming to having been raped is a challenge on its own. Yet you consider that if a stranger does it, they’re lying unless they can prove it. That’s called being a self-centered jerk.
In the case of an opposition between two unbalanced sides, not deciding is siding with the more powerful side. If you see a nazi in the street beating up a black guy, and you think “I’m not going to take a decision because maybe the black guy started the fight, I don’t have enough information to defend either side”, you’re not neutral, you’re a nazi supporter. Same if you hear a black guy say that he’s been beaten up by a nazi without proof of it, and you decide to stay “neutral”. Once again, that’s a stance that is known to be wrong and to favour the oppressors.
I really need to just write a book that debunks the stupid pro-rapists arguments and send it to all of your group whenever you send a comment, I’m sick of having to write the same things every few months because you and your clones are so scared that someone would accuse you of rape or something. Always the same bullshit over and over, the “you are a rapist. Now prove that you’re not” sentence written almost word by word, all that crap that even a 10 years old would be able to debunk but that for some reason resonates in all the rapists defenders.
What goes through your mind, really? “But what if people say that I raped them”? Because I never felt threatened by that, but maybe that’s because I know that I never raped anyone.

Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be because you’re spouting some insane views.
Some people believe in justice as an ideal, not justice because we might be subject to it. Granted you probably have to understand the concept of justice first.
Again, I wonder why. It’s not as if it’s some huge glaring flaw in your argument that you’re just ignoring. You propose to give half the population the power to destroy the life of the other half with no checks and balances, and fail to see how it would be abused. You’re exactly the sort of idiot who ‘thinks of the children’.

It’s funny how you’re conveniently ignoring the things I say that make your points invalid.
But your strawman is already debunked by things I previously said.
What I’m proposing gives no one any “power” because I never proposed a change in the legal system. I said that people should believe the victims, and you’re transforming that (completely in good faith, I’m suuure) into “the legal system should condemn anyone who ever gets accused by anyone of rape”.
You’re showing more and more that you’re arguing in bad faith, your arguments are weaker and weaker (I mean, you didn’t even really have any in this message), so at this point it’s seeming like you’re just feeling personally attacked. So either you’re so brainwashed by some shithole like 4chan or whatever that you feel attacked by things that don’t concern you, or they do concern you. Either way, I’m not going to waste more time, you’ve shown enough of your cards for anyone to know who you are, I’m not going to inflict myself more of your presence.
