Yes but that "grayscale and nuance" is also what stops people from reporting stuff that actually was SA. A fair judicial process is what solves this. Raise the claims if the are true, that is what justice is for, but know that if you raise false claims you are also entering yourself into that justice system. Malicious acts against people and groups should be punished, and victims should be able to seek help.

Yeah, I'm not saying is not like that. The problem is that forgetting that actually the world is that grayscale, is a double-edged sword, as it will polarize and/or cause extremism or maximalism from one side, or another, or both.

I totally agree that sexual abusers are scum and should be tortured until die, but what I don't see as fair is that the (even if really few) victims of FA have to pay for the crimes of other people they don't represent.

I often feel depressed thinking about this and the fact that there's not easy way out of this septic pit, and that things seem to be worse every fucking second. I hate this world.
