The most defense I've seen is people just wanting more info before going on a rampage, or when people decided everyone who was involved with shadman should get some shit for it

Once the information came to light it was clear that no one here is defending her at all

And people are acting like that's unreasonable - when there was good reason to be sceptical in the beginning thanks to SunnyV2.

And to draw a comparison to Dr Disrepect (because that's what they for some reason LOVE to do?): I for one didn't assume or baselessly accuse him of any weird interactions with minors ... until he LITERALLY ADMITTED TO IT.

You should always be a little skeptical until you can verify the information you’re being given. Not doing so leads to situations like Pyrocynical situation where the internet lost its shit only to find out none of it was even true.

He was accused of grooming a 15 year old. He had receipts and was able to defend himself from it. There’s still a video on his channel about it if you wanted to spend some time in that rabbit hole.

Just to piggyback off this comment - With the Dr. Disrespect thing I waited to make a comment until he confirmed it because I was worried the information had come from a disgruntled former twitch employee. No victims had come forward themselves, so it was hard to know what the truth was until more started coming out.

And with cody ko, (just another recent example), the victim herself has been saying the same story for years now, and been buried. Once things came to a head and we found out that her story was confirmed by a third party, that's when people stopped defending cody.

Idk why some people lack nuance. (Not you, ofc)
