I don't want to go into that much detail and neither will I be putting up actual links as a source of news.

Over here, recently, there's been a piece of news going around about my friend, a popular YouTuber who allegedly sexually harassed a young girl.

Damning screenshots of conversations have been put up.

The girl in question and her friend wrote about it on Facebook, relating how they went to the police and all that.

Subsequently, news outlet are covering this shit and condemning my friend.

Other YouTubers are also coming out to talk shit about him.

My friend has written on Facebook how it was all false allegations.

I don't know the truth and what really went down.

But this angers the fuck out of me.

When pitch forks are up and when a lynch mob is created, nobody gives a fuck about objectivity anymore.

Nobody gives a fuck about fairness, intelligence and just plain being a good person.

You weren't there

This is my main argument towards people with pitchforks sitting on the sidelines.

You weren't there.

You will never know how it really went down.

You'll never know who is tell the truth.

You're just reading.

You don't know who is lying

Because it is THAT easy to lie on the internet today.

And yet, people swallow it up and go, "I read it on Facebook just the other day!"

Do you really think you're that smart now just because you read the news? THE NEWS?!

You're loading yourself up with confirmation bias because you refuse to use your brain

You've your personal agenda.

Admit it.

You are not perfect either

Just one day, when you're on the receiving end of unfounded accusations and find yourself seated on the chair in front of a thousand fucking judges, you'd know how much you'd wish to be let off the hook.

Bitching on social media is merely an escape from your own insecurities.

And it's ironic that you need to look to celebrities just for that.

You're going to get over this shit anyway

Because you'll find the next thing to hate on soon enough.

So fucking just shut up and save it. Nobody wants to hear it anymore.

Look at all the points I've stated.

And start to think how you can actually show some form of self-preservation.

I wrote about here before that social media is nothing but a mirror.

Are you going to use it to face the person in front of you?

Or smear shit behind on the wall for others to see?
