We live in a society where people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but in this current climate of anti-traditional-establishment backlash everyone is quick to assume the worst of the accused. That’s not right.
Didnt she have a cosplay tv show for a while? Heroes of cosplay? That was kinda cool to see the prep and competition side. Unless im thinking of someone else. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk
I think we need some perspective here. These are accusations. They are not proof. We live in a society where people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but in this current climate of anti-traditional-establishment backlash everyone is quick to assume the worst of the accused. That’s not right. As a woman, I could go up to any man and accuse them of improprieties and possibly ruin their career, even if what I said was not true, or if our interactions were consentual at the time. Would I do this? No, because I am a rational person who isn’t greedy and out for 15 minutes of fame. But are there women out there who would, especially with a celebrity and a possible payout? Of course! I’m fairly certain that *some* of the accusations against celebrities in the past year or so were motivated by such things.I’m not saying anything about Chloe. I don’t know her or her situation. But I don’t automatically condemn Chris Hardwick because an accusation was made, nor do I think that he needs to make an apology if he is innocent. And we all need to remember that he is innocent until guilt is proven.
While I understand your perspective, I'd be cautious because it's this type of thing that makes people scared of coming forward. It's not the type of "fame" anyone would want, really. It's a horrifying and daunting prospect. It's not anything most people would want."Innocent until proven guilty" is for the courts, not for personal opinion. Or even PUBLIC opinion. Unless you are on a jury or are a judge, there is no obligation to be presume innocence. I believe Chloe. I stand by her.
"Unless you are on a jury or are a judge, there is no obligation to be presume innocence. "Whilst that is true, this is a dangerous way of thinking. There are verifiable instances of individuals serving criminal sentences due to false testimony and accusations. On a more micro level, there are innocent people whose lives have been ruined by false allegations purely due to the initial stigma the allegation itself caused. You should not presume to know the motives of one party without more information and the lack of a response from the accused. The stories of actual victims are dismissed because people are too quick to believe the first person who comes forward, before any evidence is actually produced.This is obviously not a court of law, but we haven't even heard Chris Hardwick's response yet. Processing and interpreting news in the most comprehensive way possible is how we remain informed citizens, particularly in this day and age.
