that’s why i don’t think anything’s gonna change for powerful men on the epstein list if it gets released. many of these men already have allegations of sexual abuse against them and they still live their life just fine
(also, holy shit those comments??? that post about how lemmy is worse for women than reddit was wasn’t lying, jesus)

If I call you a terrorist I guess I can expect you to be picked up tomorrow morning? You people just have an utterly deranged sense of logic. You cannot convict someone without proof, regardless of the alleged crime and how strong your personal feelings on the matter are.

i mean isn’t that exactly what’s happening in the US right now
in a world that’s as hostile to survivors of SA as ours, yea i believe them when they make accusations. does this hold up in court? no of course not, of course you need proof*, but it’s worth mentioning that many times accusations can’t even make it to court because police doesn’t believe survivors either!
* well except if you’re white and the person you’re accusing isn’t. there “justice” is waaaay more lenient about what proof is, and the police has a much easier time believing you too. but that’s more telling of the racism of the justice system than of how SA survivors just always get what they want
