  1. ProJared and Pyrocynical are perfect examples of this. I’ve been watching Jared for a decade and Pyro for 8 years respectively and what happened to Jared in 2019 (the same year of happened to Slazo) and Pyro in 2020 were a very rough time for me as a fan of theirs. I stood by them for I had my suspicions and my instincts told me that there’s more to the stories than just the allegations and there was a lack of evidence on the side of the accusers. And when they released their response videos owning up to what they did admit to doing wrong and debunking the false accusations against them, it confirmed my suspicions that they were innocent victims of they were falsely accused of. As a victim of SA and a woman myself, it always upsets me that male victims of abuse don’t get taken equally as seriously as female victims of abuse and making up a abuse story to hurt them for the sake of revenge and clout really grinds my gears. It not only hurts real victims like me, but it also further hurts the already tarnished reputation of the falsely accused. What the false accusers did to Jared and Pyro is disgusting and that’s something I can’t and won’t forgive. A lot of people who were originally in Jared’s fan base and friend group didn’t reach out to him for his side and sided with the false accusations and they got ostracized as a result of that. I wholeheartedly agree that if people were to leave their parasocial feelings and biases out and be objective, the internet would be a much better place for everyone. Great job Mail.

  2. Ya know, I see so much brainrot online. It is a relief to hear someone say what is common sense out loud again. When you feel like our social climate, according to the internet, is just a sea of crazy opinions, logical fallacies, tribalistic biases, cognitive dissonance, and zealotry. Hearing someone voices level headedness, honest compassion(not sociopolitically motivated selective compassion), naunce, due diligence, intellectual honesty, and goodfaith open dialog is a respite for the soul.

  3. I look at" believe the victim" to mean to be aware if someone is vulnerable to an aggressor. It doesn't mean anyone needs to take sides. If someone is being dog piled on the internet after an acusation, they are in a vulnerable position, and the dog pile becomes an aggressor. Don't dog pile on someone you don't know about other people's business. If there was a bad falling out, and one person is talking sh*t about the other, but they're separated, and no one is in danger, that's just drama.

  4. Wish I'd had this when a group of people falsely accused me of racism, pedophilia, rape apologizing, etc and I fell into such a bad depression for three months my therapist labelled me as "clinical". I made the mistake of saying I'd go to the supreme court and police for slander, which only made things worse. Now half of those people are being accused themselves and have been outed, but I still have that deep anger left in me for what they did because they didn't like me.

  5. thank you as someone who grow up watching law and order SVU with my dad I was so frustrated at the response to the Wilbur ALLEGATIONS with 0 real prouth and them just saying he confested by taking his RESPONSE to the allegation as a confection but not being able to source him doing so in his response and insisting that he the scum of the earth when there is obviously so many nuances to their relationship and personal lives.

  6. I remember so many people i watched over a decade ago get called all the nastiest things because this unfortunately works. Make the other party as bad as possible, and anyone asking for evidence is called a victim blamer, etc etc. I hope things get better as more learn how the internet works, but man did it get my blood boil back in the day.

  7. As the significant other of someone who was accused for thing in his past, i can say first hand not only does it affect the accused mental wellbeing, but mine as well, and i didnt even do anything, i simply stepped into their life
    My S.O is plagued by it and i have no doubt that whole situation is a contributing factor why they have major issues with their self-worth
    I know these people only care about hurting the accused, but youve hurt an innocent in the process
    But then again, maybe they just dont care cause they think im like an "enabler" or "corraberator" twisting my evil mustache simply because im in a relationship with them and love them, so the accusers lumped me with him

  8. As someone who is suffering from gender dysphoria right now, I should not be up in the middle of the night watching this video and feeling way too tired to really care about wanting to pass as a woman but right now, I literally cannot care what happens between now and then. I just want my girl pills and I want them NOW but I'll probably never get them, to be honest. I am in an "I hate everything" mood right now, and I do not like it.

  9. This video makes me feel like I'm in 6th hour Health, the teacher is tired and disappointed, and now she's just lecturing the class about how to be decent people, all the while crayons are flying across the room. I love it lol
