I'm sorry, what benefit of the doubt? What could they possibly say to make anything look differently?

It's only fair, right? Always hear all sides of the story before judgement.

Remember recently, a video on social media of a white "karen" seem to try stealing a bike from a black man and try to "play victim" by crying? Turned out she's a nurse that rented that bike first and was harassed by the man to the point she's crying and yelling for help?

What side?

A company that will try to save face because they have a lot to lose?

What in the world do you imagine they can say? That they will corraborate her story?

If you aren't willing to give them the benefit of the doubt you are also part of the problem jumping to conclusions before hearing all the arguments

[–] msage 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please answer the question: what could they say to make you feel any differently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly have no idea. Right now I don't believe I'll ever watch LTT videos the same way just because I know behind cameras the whole thing might be a shitshow. But probably the result of this whole investigation might change my mind

You do understand that it's incredibly hard to prove workplace harassment beyond reasonable doubt? Which is why victims almost never go public? Since nobody believes them and want to hEaR bOtH sIdEs?

This isn't two ex lovers arguing, this is workplace harassment ffs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do realize that. But by the way you wrote this comment you completely despise the idea of

to hEaR bOtH sIdEs

So we should just take one side's word and run with it? Sounds awfully dangerous tbh

Yes, I completely despise it.

It makes sense to hear both sides when the sides are equal - like Depp vs Heard. But when you get an entire novel written about workplace harrassment and abuse, I don't care what the PR dept will cough up. Specially after hearing the response to GN video.

Give me other ex-employees, give me third party investigations, but I absolutely do not give a damn about the company response.
