the rachel drama/hack, the pronoun struggle sessions, and now this (most likely) false accusation against beatnik show that there's a lot of asshats with no morality willing to use anything against the site, and we need to get a lot smarter and stop falling for it

    The thing that sucks about this is that no matter what happens ChaCha is worse off. Either it's legit, which would be just fucking horrible, or it's a fraud, which will further the destructive and fake narrative that many accusers are liars. This whole situation has to be absolutely shitty for people who have been abused in the past. Whether or not it turns out that the story is true, I hope that when the dust settles, we find a way to show our support to people who have suffered sexual violence but are afraid of coming forward because they think they won't be believed.
