It’s intersting, in some senses, PC is a way to skirt what some consider the realities of things. Like to be un-PC is to speak out some uncomfortable truth. But here, the un-PC thing is to deny a potentially uncomfortable truth.
Unless what PC and not PC are really about is standing for or against historically ... we’ll say less powerful groups. And if that’s the case, then it is what it is I guess.
Let me give you an example( or just go read CNN with today’s headlines)
A person goes public with claims of DV. Virtually every media outlet and talking head rushes to judgement based on that claim, falling over themselves in the twiitersphere to show greater levels of outrage, and take down some bad guy. Nevermind due process, gathering the other side of the story, or even denying ( that’s now called
victim shaming)
That’s where we are today. You can call it whatever you want, but if it ever happened to you or someone you care about, people just pile on.
Did it ever occur to you( as the evidence screams) that NOBODY who was involved, could find credibility in her claims? Nobody. Not the cops who were called 55 times, the families, the other staff members and coaches?
But it’s completly against the rules to reach out to her, or your tampering. And it is completely against the rules to say she is lying, because that is victim shaming.
You see, once accused, a high profile person is sunk. There are no good options. Damned if you apologize, damned if you don’t. ( you posts here and Bayareawolverine’s illustrate that).
That is what we are talking about.
