#it’s because if these accusations came from baseless mudslinging i want to know because i don’t want to be the kind of person who attacks or

no one likes “proof or it didn’t happen” people but some of y’all will act like someone asking for literally any shred of evidence to support a claim means they’re evil and taking the other side or some shit and it’s stupid

#sorry if this is incoherent #but y’all are annoying #like yeah if you call someone lesbophobic i want proof #if you call someone racist i want proof #if you call someone anything that isn’t just your personal opinion i want some fuckin evidence #because people on the internet have a bad habit of trying to get others to take their side so they make up all sorts of shit to settle some #personal vendetta #even if it means raking some random persons name through the mud #over some unfounded allegation #and this idea that you’re either with someone or against them and questioning allegations means taking the other side has led to a culture #where no one speaks up or questions why we’re gathering pitchforks out of fear of being the next pariah #like i want more information not because i want to defend the person in question and not because i don’t think bigotry isn’t a big deal #it’s because if these accusations came from baseless mudslinging i want to know because i don’t want to be the kind of person who attacks or #commits libel with the masses without an ounce of thought for myself #and i also want to distance myself from people who ruin peoples lives as pastime or as a way to justify their own personal feelings toward #a person #it is far too easy to turn ‘i don’t like this person’ into ‘this person is a pedophile’ or something on the internet #so sorry for not just taking your word for it #‘just trust me bro’ is not a good defense
