The typical response from the masses of spectators/witnesses of these events is basically, "I don't believe her." And that's a response that happens FAR too often for many "convenient" cases that happen to resemble this one.

It's the victim-blaming/belittling/shaming tactics that help get sexual assault/abuse cases nowhere. It's the bizarre responses that need to stop.

My thoughts are with the victim at this time.

So are your thoughts with the actual victim aka Jim Cummings?

I think Hardwick was exonerated as well, wasn't he?

Not everyone who's accused is automatically guilty.

Everyone who claims something should be HEARD. Not necessarily believed. Evidence speaks far louder than words.

The wonderful thing about Tiggers.

I wish there was more done to people who are found unequivocally to have lied. They do a disservice to actual victims by people question them, and they in turn victimize the falsely accused.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 05-11-2019, 02:40 PM

that would go against the narrative. that wahmen are the victim. notice I didn't use the term women...as they can be victims. but wahmen are consistently victims, hence the difference.

That's why courts, lawyers and judges exist. The latter are supposed to be fair.

And everyone is innocent until proven guilty, of course.

Rob Paulsen knew his good friend was innocent. He's so happy for him.

*ranger_scout* · 05-11-2019, 09:44 PM

Right now it appears that they are only two article in the news that are reporting his victory.

https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/05...ns-celebrates/

I'm really hoping that there will be more to come and that the media won't turn on him. Plus, I really don't want there to be any angry and crazy MeToo movement protesters trying to attack Jim physically or verbally when he goes to conventions in the future.

*Papenbrook* · 05-12-2019, 01:04 AM

Eh, Jim should be alright.

What I'm worried about is how this situation will be used against ( future ) victims of spousal abuse/ sexual assault.

I hope they won't get harassed because of this.

*Voltron* · 05-12-2019, 01:10 AM

Papenbrook makes a good point, and we have to remember that innocent until proven guilty does not mean the accuser is trying to damage the reputation of the accused.

To often actual victims are terrified of being seen AS attention seekers and snaky backstabbers and don't come forward. That's how actual sexual predators like Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, and Bill Cosby are able to operate for so long.

As I've said: these things should be handled behind closed doors for the sake of everyone involved. No one should have their life torn apart in public like this. There's little chance of recovering from it.

~~Leo656~~ · 05-12-2019, 01:30 AM

Well, if they're found to be lying, though, then it IS just to try and ruin someone's reputation. And they should in turn probably have to suffer some kind of punishment for it. Like you said, even just the "stain" of an accusation never really goes away, even when the person is exonerated.

I mean, it's not like anything can ever really change, because People Lie. Thus, to whole-heartedly believe ANY accusations made by one person towards another, without any evidence aside from "WHY would I lie about this?", is foolish. Thus, at least a drop of skepticism is always necessary until things can be proven. Because People Lie, and sometimes they don't need a good reason to do so. The whole world would be better to a great degree if people could just simply tell the truth all the time - especially about serious things such as rape/abuse accusations - but that's not the state of things.

I do believe that in many, if not most cases, then people who make serious condemning accusations are telling the truth. BUT, too many people have also been found out to be lying - for attention, for money, or just plain out of spite - for me to ever look at any situation with any attitude except, "Huh. Well, guess we'll see where this goes." Like I said, if you've been falsely accused, you know what a pain in the ass it is and how it can really screw up your life, even if it all works out in the end. In turn, once it happens to you, it makes it harder to take other peoples' claims at face value.

I won't even exaggerate, I find dishonest people to be overall worthless. They really DO screw sh*t up for honest people, but it is what it is. But it's exactly why I treat liars with such contempt. They ruin things for everyone. People DO get hurt and are afraid to come forward, because people ARE skeptical. And it would be nice if we didn't HAVE to be skeptical. But we DO have to be, every single time until there's actual proof. Because too many people lie, and they're not worrying about how it will affect the next person, they're only worried about themselves.

It's good that in this case, it appears the worst of the allegations were false. At the same time, though, he did admit to mistreating the puppy - even if it was "partly by accident" - which is problematic. Not the end of the world, of course, but it does raise questions about what other things could have been true. The truth is ultimately somewhere in the middle, I imagine.

When it comes to sexual assault cases, it's the opposite, sadly.

Cummings and his ex have been given double restraining orders, the judge also tore both a new one saying they didn't put any of their children first in this matter
