Microsoft is generally not as bad with this kind of stuff anymore

FTFY. 90s Microsoft would’ve sent some thugs

You didn’t dismiss the accusation, yet you demanded more information, which again, we are not owed.

It’s also incredibly damaging to trust everything someone says without some verification.

The implication being that’s what I’m arguing? I don’t know you go from “It’s incredibly insensitive to treat sexual assault claims like any other subject and ask victims for details and verification, you should understand how these tactics have historically been used to intimidate and silence women victims of sexual assault and abuse”

To “Believe any and all claims made by supposed victims like some kind of religious dogma”.

That’s quite a leap. If you’re not going for a flimsy reductio ad absurdum, you should know (although I feel you already know) no one in this thread is arguing in favor of believing any and all claims of SA like a proof of faith.

People lie.

People do lie. The implication that women lie about SA is statistically false and has historically been a key tool of the patriarchy in silencing women.

Surely you must understand how incredibly insensitive is to dismiss someone saying they got grabbed/ touched because they didn’t give us the details down to the nitty-gritty.

I’m all for encouraging victims to press charges if they think there’s basis to do so. But we, the public, aren’t owed any more information than what the victim wants to share. After all, we are not a court.

the irony in this post

It’s like rain on your wedding day

I also can’t wrap my head around “not liking” GDPR

As a relevant example, seems like only citizens covered by GDPR will be able to request Reddit to remove all of their data from Reddit’s servers since comment deleting tools and scripts are being bypassed, with loads of comments and even entire profiles getting restored by Reddit admins
