It's simple, just don't do something that will get you banned fifteen years later when the winds change direction. Sure, red sweaters were cool back then, but now they mean something wildly different. We'll give you three strikes for three videos with one second of a red sweater. And you're deleted for so many strikes. Thanks, bu-bye.

You just compared clothing choice to rape. Seek therapy.

Alledged rape. Presumption of innocence.

I'm not a fucking jury or newscaster so I'm not sure why you're coming at me with that incel shit.

He fucking did it anyway.

The allegations say it was ten years ago. Can we have women turn to the police before their rapist turn famous and rich?

Yeah I just found out this British guy is a cunt and some pseudo crazy Jesus christ right winger, but not everyone who's awful is really guilty

It's a weird hill for you to die on.

And it was great, too. 😈

You know what the best part is? Statistically the odds of me suffering any negative consequences for raping you is so small as to be insignificant, so it literally doesn't even matter.

Even if I did, people like you would run to my beck and call simply because you think rapists should not be held accountable on principle, so I have even less to worry about.

So yes, I raped you, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Nothing.
