No. Lets not agree to disagree it. Lets discuss it. ..
One victim is claiming he forcefully made her perform oral sex just a few months ago. Thats rape. Instead of filing charges or seeking assistance from law enforcement, she hires a high profile celeb attorney and attempts to negotiate a mid 6 figure settlement behind the scene. When that doesnt work she files a civil claim only and not a criminal one. You mention people painting accusers as money hungry, but here, the facts point to a money grab on face value alone.
Critical thinking is important. Thats why i challenge people like you to NOT fall to lazy knee jerk conclusions and cliches like "where there be smoke they be fire". Such "analysis" requires zero thought and it typically results in a presumption of wrong doing on the part of the accused. The timing of these matters alone is suspicious - at least- add to that you now have 9 women slowly coming out of the woodwork alleging misconduct and not ONE decided to file a police report in real time in an environment that is MORE than favorable to victims of sexual misconduct? Just dont make sense man.
Further, when you see that most are social media workers, most of whom have taken a large hit due to covid... and the shit looks like chicks looking for another stimulus check while being egged on by a friend of Deshauns disgruntled employer. Speaking of which, this shit is straight out of the ole school bigots playbook of character assassination of the uppity black man.
It just boggles my mind how many times we see our people get fucked over and jammed up on bullshit allegations, yet we still are eager to give benefit of doubt to mere allegations. Shit is insane to me. And to be clear, i dont know if the brother did any of this shit or not.. But i do know that assessing all available info as of today, this shit smells pretty fucking fishy .... to me.
Bro first off much respect to you... I know we have our back n forths but overall you always solid with your takes and I appreciate that.
I guess my whole thing is I've dated several women, married then divorced one, about to marry another, and know other women personally who have been victims of sexual assault. Hell the woman I'm with now was raped last year by an ex football player... that case is still pending and because of how close it hits to home I won't go into any details... but the point I'm making is often times women don't speak up because they feel if they do they're going to be ridiculed, shamed, attacked for doing so.
Think on this, sexual assault is one of if not the only crime where the victim is told how they played a part in the crime committed against them... we tell them "you shouldn't have worn that" or "you shouldn't have went there alone" or "nobody told you to drink the much," etc. Women don't speak on shit like this because we beat them into submission with our own analysis of the crime vs actually hearing them out and letting due process run its course.
Again, I understand every point you're making. The timing is fishy. It is an attack on a seemingly good young black man. Yes there are other anomalies in play here that lead you to be suspicious. White people are involved and that alone should lead to a whole helluva lot of side eye distrust and suspicions.
With that said I'm not going to bash these women right off the bat because I think they're looking for a come up, because I disagree with their profession, because thots gonna thot, or because I think their lawyer is a money hungry attention whore. They at least deserve to be heard. If it's bullshit it'll all come out in the wash, they'll get exposed, and Deshaun can sue all involved for punitive damages.
Just like this is, as you called it a play "
straight out of the ole school bigots playbook of character assassination of the uppity black man," Deshaun's actions that he's being accused of show a pattern of behavior that cannot be ignored. Dude got one of the baddest women in the city on his side and he's soliciting "massages" from hoes on social media...
on 9 different occasions? One or two women my bullshit meter would definitely be going off, but 9 different women? This is a pattern...
