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.

I really don't see a problem with her statement, we are still talking about allegations here, so I understand why she phrased it like that. 

I do believe the allegations are true though and she made it pretty clear how she felt about it.

I think the issue people are taking is that we essentially have repeated public allegations and corroboration from a 3rd party. While I understand the point you’re getting at I think it’s really not that much different than the “I’m going to need proof that very rarely exists in cases like this (ie video of him learning of her age and video or a rape kit to prove they had sex) to actually come out and say I believe the potential victim” diversion

I don’t mean to speak on you specifically but I think a decent amount of people on the left who would bring up a similar point as you would view it entirely differently if someone like Ben Shapiro did the whole “rape is bad but I need indisputable proof” bit

I mean personally I believe Tana, however it IS Tana and Gabbie Hanna, both of which are notorious liars. I think SOME skepticism is okay in this particular case.

I’m not deep enough in the creator world to know much about those people but it’s pretty tough to have faith in someone who won’t even come out and say he didn’t do it. At this point it quite literally isn’t even he said she said

Oh I agree. I don’t even have a dog in this fight, I only know of Cody because of Hasan. I just think it’s wild that Brittany Broski is getting shit for saying “allegedly” when talking about two serial liars.
