It’s honestly disturbing how the internet reacts whenever a famous person gets accused of rape. No matter how much evidence there is — multiple victims, solid proof, even footage of the crime — there’s always that one person (actually, several of them) rushing to say, “Well, we don’t know the full story yet,” or “They could still be innocent.”
Like, really? I’ve seen people defending Diddy even after the video came out showing him beating Cassie, and after footage of him grooming Justin Bieber surfaced. And don’t even get me started on politicians — there can be mountains of evidence, and people will still twist themselves into pretzels to defend them.
It’s insane how many people online seem to have this weird urge to protect rapists. They’ll say, “Let’s give them a chance to defend themselves,” like that’s some noble stance — but when the person actually gets convicted, these same defenders suddenly pivot to, “Oh, maybe they were framed.”
Like, come on. The dude’s in jail. There’s evidence. There are victims. But no, some people will ride that denial train straight off a cliff before admitting their favorite celebrity might actually be a terrible human being. It’s beyond frustrating — it’s pathetic.
Projecting, much?
