Ah, the good ol’ “just go to the autorities!”. That has always worked perfectly in the past 
Once again, it’s an in-game npc lmao. I don’t see too many rights getting taken away in this instance

I just read her manifesto. So she is cancelling him and wants him cancelled because he talked her into a 3 some with a friend and he wanted her to use her bi sexual interest to pull in more cute girls for sex.

It does a hell of a lot more than going to useless authorities does. Nothing will go to court, very few rape cases do. Again, they will not do anything. Police do not help victims. If it’s public, the abuser can’t avoid or ignore what they did.
If the accusations are true… nasty, unforgivable. Glad he’s gotten the boot.
If not, shame on the woman who is trying to label him as such a disgusting person.
Right?
I’m not anybody famous.
But…
False accusations (of stalking and harassment) from people almost ran me off the server, the game, and this very mortal coil.
People still do it to this day, despite having 0 evidence for what I supposedly “did”.
I’m stable nowadays, but I’ve also been stressed out the past few days because of these liars.
To the Worgen that says “guilty before proven innocent”…no. Just no.

That seems to be what most people want. They care more about financially ruining someone, getting them fired or otherwise wrecking their life, than anything else. It’s why “mob mentality” is so dangerous. Anyone can post on social media about so-and-so doing something (whether actually illegal or “they said something I don’t agree with” or “they said something not politically correct”) and get a mob riled up to try and attack someone.
You do not get to ruin someone’s life over accusations. To think otherwise illustrates the problem with people today. They rely on outrage to hurt people.

The world is unjust. For years apperently men have been abusing their power and the law failed many women. In a just world allegations like this should be quickly dealt with in court, but that is another arena that feels tainted by bias. So now no one get justice.
Probably because of the lack of evidence. Which should clue you in on how many of these allegations are false.

Do you find it more likely that two regular people got together and formed an evil months-long plot all in the name of hurting someone? Or that one gamer man just has a crap personality?
…Don’t take that phrase literally.
Simply means all we have (to my knowledge - correct me if I’m wrong) is her word against his. Aka, “He said she said”
If there’s no evidence, only accusations, and we use only words to indict someone, then we have a very serious problem. That’s my point. Because if we dispense with evidence, then anybody can be taken out at any point and that’s no way to run a society (much less a justice system).
Its absolutely a no-win situation - I’m not saying cases like those don’t exist or that they don’t deserve justice (because they do). I’m just saying that justice should not tilt either way based solely on word.
If we swing the axe just over the accusations (without proof), then you open the door for innocent people to get taken down. Because it discounts the idea that people can lie, and people have and will. In the long run, that just harms the case of the actual victims that you’re referring to.

Not sure what else to tell you little Gnome, you do not go to twitter if you have a “real” problem you go to the authorities. Taking out the NPC empowers the “victims,” you see he has not been charged or convicted; but Blizzard thought it would be okay to just remove his NPC as they are judge, jury, and executioner of their game. What happens now if he is truly innocent? Do they put him back? It is a knee jerk reaction fueled by mob mentality. It’s wrong.

The problem is that a false accusation can utterly destroy the life of a person who was otherwise innocent because of how mob justice works.
Any accusation should absolutely be taken seriously and the police need a complete revamp in more ways than just the one being talked about right now. I’m not going to try to pretend they’re the current solution to this.
but bringing back what amounts to witch hunts aren’t the solution either.

More like nothing is ever done or the suspect if give a light sentence because of the “boys will be boys” and “it was just one time” or “she has a promiscuous past” mentality of most of the judges/prosecutors.

Thanks. So who is Swifty? Is Swifty alive or dead? Why was he put in the game in the first place?

I don’t give a flying footnote about the likelihood of either case.
What I care about is that if the former is the case there will be evidence of that, and if the later is the case there will be evidence of that.
And until evidence for either case is presented and examined, neither case should be presumed just because it makes you feel better.

Look up McCarthyism. Guilty by fact of accusation. That’s why we have to weigh evidence.

Did he appeal, or did he just turn to his flock and sensationalize it?
Why do you want to tell people to believe in victims that would affect you too? 
I mean, somebody could make a false accusation about you and you know it’s false, but since you told people to believe victims, then that’s what the people are gonna do if this silly rule is imposed equally.
There comes a day where anybody at one point and time becomes the victim and becomes the accuser.
