There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

    Why not though? Media have been proven to create false stories before, so it’s not like they wouldn’t.

        Masterson already had a trial and was proven guilty. Has that happened in Brand’s case as well? If not, then please avoid treating it as such, for you would be incorrect.

          I apologize if I gave you the impression I give a fuck about Brand, or your opinion on the matter. We’re done here.

                About Brand, i don’t really care in particular. It’s the mob lynching i’m wary of. Branding people as guilty before it is an established fact seems to be a gulty pleasure, pun intended, of even lemmy users. I’d like for people to stop doing that before it becomes the normal thing to do.

                About this conversation, i only care because communication is the foundation of civilization. We have many languages, so it’s a pretty big part of who we are, even though some of us have come to dread talking to one another.

                I have no ill meanings in this whole thing, only that we should try to be better for our own state of wellbeing.
