... By pointing out the fact their post isn't evidence? Hmmm. It's funny how so many "tech" fans will instantly dismiss rape allegations made by women, but immediately believe some random loser claiming they were wrongly accused. Almost like there's a systemic problem here.

I never said I believe them.

You either believe both the rape victim and the accusation victim, or you believe neither.

Only believing one of them is hypocritical.

I personally believe both of them to be some person on the internet who's words do not matter. I do not consider either of the two claims to be worth listening to.

Innocent until proven. Always.

Equivalency and idiotic. One of them is a claim about a violent sex act which statistically speaking false claims almost never happened. The other asshole is defending rape allegations.

I understand you guys have a hard time seeing another man in power me questioned, probably because of her daddy issues. The fact of them is his sister stands to gain nothing and stands to lose everything. She is made claims about her abuse of the hands of both of her brothers, and rather than show even the slightest. Bit of curiosity, empathy, or any other human traits, some real pieces of shit have shown up here defending him and claiming she is made these accusations up whole cloth.

That's called rape apologetics, and I'll have no fucking part of it. I didn't say he was guilty, the case hasn't been brought to trial. I've made a judgment of my own and I find that when a woman claims she has been raped from an early age by a family member that tends to stick with the overwhelming cases of incest, child rape, and all other rape on record. It's almost always a family member or someone the family knows, and pieces of shit almost always make excuses for why.

Consider carefully which side of the issue you want to be on.
