    Give me another reason to stand up for a famous hollywood star you know nothing real about, just a carefully and expensively crafted media persona.

    I’m all for a good discussion around the social implications of false accusations, but there’s an exceptional amounting of simping going on for one specific special boy.

      Aside from false accusations - how about tech monopolies (only beholden to profits/shareholders) being judge, jury and executioner?

      I think Brand is a narcissistic prick, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care how he’s treated by even bigger evils.
