    simple avoidance of an unpleasant task

    You reducing reporting rape down to this is…inaccurate.

    But this wasn’t the only option and its timing may impact millions of lives.

    It was going to impact many lives regardless because Platner decided to run knowing he had all of this in his past.

      Going to the public and recounting a traumatic event is an unpleasant task. Fuck off with these stylistic gotchas like there would be some magic words that you’d accept to describe a basic human response to something they don’t want to do.

        It’s traumatic but ok. I was willing to level with you here and have a conversation but clearly you just want to be rude.

          Fuck off. I don’t think you’ve been looking to have a conversation since this story broke. You’ve decided there’s only one acceptable response, which based on the “he’s a secret Nazi” responses seems like it was already in place before the new allegations, and anyone else with other concerns in a breaking story impacting the entire nation must be a rape apologist.

            As if you’re open to conversation on this yourself? Youve decided the only answer to this is conspiracy theories.

            No, I’m not patient with people who want to outright victim blame and pretend like it’s crazy for a man seeking power to force himself on a woman.

              In this very conversation I presented three things that could be responsible for the timing, two of which were mundane.

              You criticized my word choice.

                And you threw a fit and told me to “fuck off” because I said your word choice was inaccurate.
