[QUOTE="Nightfly, post: 9218023, member: 89601"] I believe women. I believe victims. I make zero apologies for that. I also believe my own eyes, and I've seen all the times Mearls defended the person in question, right up to the point where it was too radioactive for him to do anymore. The evidence is still out there if you want to Google it. There's also the fact that Mearls has never denied what he's accused of doing, or apologized. Since the worst of it came out, he hasn't commented at all except for posting on Twitter a brief statement which was clearly written by a publicist and/or a lawyer. (He didn't even type it; it was literally a scan of a printed document). If he's going to claim he's innocent now, four years later, I'm certainly willing to listen. Maybe he'll now be able to do so since he's not a WotC employee anymore and he's no longer legally muzzled. But if you're asking everyone to presume his innocence when [I]he himself [/I]has never denied these accusations, you're asking a little much. Did you just call outrage over sexual assault "nerd rage"? Seriously? Some people think 3rd edition was better than 4th edition. Some people prefer DC to Marvel. And some people are outraged by rape and rape culture. Are those three things similar to you? Look, I'm sorry if I'm making people uncomfortable. I'm not trying to stir things up. But this has all been public record for years. Being laid off is very sad but it's Tiddlywinks compared to the credible accusations made against Mearls. Ignoring them is, at best, burying the lede. At worst, it's tacitly dismissing victims of abuse, as so often happens. [/QUOTE]
