Comedian Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotionally abusing four women during the height of his fame.
The alleged assaults occurred between 2006 and 2013, while he was a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4, and include an assault on a 16-year-old girl.
He vehemently denied the “very serious criminal allegations” ahead of a Sunday Times article and an expected expose to be aired by Channel 4’s Dispatches programme tonight.
The allegations include crew members on his Big Brother spin-off being made to feel they were working as a “pimp” by approaching young women on his behalf, and that he raped a woman at his Los Angeles home.
Man, the mods here really need to start doing something about the rampant rape apologia on the sub. Why even have mods if they won’t ban shit like this?
The community, through downvotes, make it clear that this is not an acceptable opinion to have.
If I remove the post, unless people dig through the mod log, all that is left is a blank space.
I’m happy to listen to reasoning for a different path.
But I’m of the opinion that I’d rather let the community see the bad takes, and have the opportunity to show their distaste through downvotes. (This does have limits, understandably)
And then it says “No one cares about downvotes” or “downvotes don’t matter” when you argue they actually do matter or that they need to be changed in some way.
Stop trying to push off your responsibilities onto others and do your damn job. You see rape apologia, you delete rape apologia. That’s your job as a mod. If you can’t be assed, find someone else to be a mod.
But don’t come to me with a bunch of excuses to not do what you’re supposed to be doing. Grow the fuck up and do it.
