On the Cody Ko situation: 

Im seeing the at the whole internet is dog pilling on Brittany Broski for her poorly worded statement. As a victim myself, I completely understand and agree with the criticism, but I’m frustrated at the fact im not seeing a FRACTION of that heat dedicated to the other 90% of the commentary community that’s stayed silent. I haven’t seen this heat dedicated towards Kurtis, Drew, Danny, Noel Miller, or anyone else. Hell Noel Miller is still actively working with Cody Ko and I haven’t seen nearly as much criticism against him. But Brittany is the worst person alive for being one of the few who have said anything at all because of some (admittedly) terrible word choices? 

I just feel women get absolutely no grace and have to be perfect in every way or they get so much worse flak while men get praised for doing the bare minimum, and sometimes less than that.  

But maybe I’m a bit off base and I want to hear others thoughts on this situation. Am I missing something? 

Note: I know Brittany said some pretty disappointing statements when people asked her to talk about Palestine. But I’m speaking specifically to the Cody Ko situation.

Please add some context, what did she say?

I'm guessing people have an issue with the "If it's proven to be true" part? Yes, that's not the best thing to say and feels like she's hedging, but I think her statement as a whole is totally fine, imo.

she says "if it's proven to be true" because if it is proven to be untrue, Cody could literally sue her for defamation or something. i'm not saying it's not true, i believe the allegations, but Brittany is being smart here. literally everyone has said "allegedly" or "supposedly" or some form of that because if they don't and it's untrue, they could get sued out their asses. people are just dumb and, yeah, like op is saying, women get so much flak for the same thing men are doing. D'Angelo makes sure all his statements are followed or start with some form of "allegedly"

Interesting, yeah. I wonder how many of these statements have gone through lawyers before being made, as well, if that is the case.
