Then it should go to court. The court of public opinion is a fucked up flawed mob trial and it’s awful for us as a society to be doing this. This is cancer. Someone can’t just say “x person did this” and then we collectively ruin their lives over it. That’s not justice. It’s not proof. It’s not anything but stupid reactionary virtue signaling. Everyone just wants to feel superior and sanctimonious and tell everyone how much they care and how much they’re doing. No one wants to have real empathy. It’s ridiculous.

The top multiple posts on the channel 5 sub are currently a stickied post telling people to cancel their channel 5 patreon, news about Tim and Eric cutting ties with him because of this, and this video. It’s an active cancellation. He’s losing his career right as he finally made it. If people aren’t willing to accept an apology and multiple actions being taken on his part to fix his behavior, then you’re just trying to cancel him…

Totally agree. He even said he was going to step back from his career for a while and go to AA and make actual changes. What more do people actually want? He didn’t do anything illegal, so obviously no jail. He’s giving up time and money at a critical time in his career now to try to better himself over this. Like you said the only thing more is to devote oneself to the cloth or become a hermit or something and just give everything up forever. It’s a ridiculous idea.

Imo legally speaking he probably shouldn’t have even given him an apology since it probably gives her grounds to sue civilly. He did more than he probably should have in an attempt to do the right thing.
