Like with the ZQ and Alec Holowka case she claimed to have actually have been assaulted by someone she wouldn't name but she then got into a relationship with Holowka and he was a shit boyfriend so she decided to wait a few years and try to publicly blame him, and ONLY him, for the failure of the relationship.
Like they are sitting there going over their relationship history asking "is there anything here I could use to destroy an ex".
That's a potential danger with the "Me Too" movement. You're encouraging women to share their me too experiences but for some they will need to stretch things a little bit to come up with something. Then you've got those who will gladly throw an ex that they still have a grudge against under the bus. All motivated by a desire to get a bit of attention and drama online for a couple of days.
Sent someone a dirty text seven years ago? No no NO NO! How dare you! Cancel him.
Basically drove a guy to suicide with a sketchy, one-sided, story? Well... you know... Gamergate... mumble mumble... believe women.
The Holowka suicide case was beyond fucked up.
First, the guy would be alive today if ZQ didn't decide to post that really weird story. Her own account, her allegations of their relationship, stuff that happened a decade ago. Of all the crap there, there were maybe two sentences that stood out as clear abuse claim and those were disproportionally creepy in comparison with the rest of the text.
And she was indeed prefaced this writing about rape I think. Referring to another person who she maybe forgave, her words. She was also exaggerating a lot about Holowka's influence in the industry and arguably about how helpless she was in all of this.
Later on others pointed out how a lot of this couldn't fit with ZQ's timeline and what she was posting or where she was appearing at the time or shortly after.
Most people reading that fucked up series of posts were confused. Many concluded real fast that Holowka was a rapist and his team mates on Night in the Woods cut their ties via Twitter within a few hours.
I really don't know how this shit is allowed to continue in your country with a precedent of leading a man to suicide. Or how these mob assholes can claim with a straight face that the alleged victim suffers more and one should always believe them.
Yes, it's hard to gather evidence and go through the system. It's supposed to be so to prevent regressing to McCarthyism.
It's not hard to post a fucked up series of posts, possibly made up possibly not, on fucking twitter of all places and launch an attack campaign on a target. That's a really shitty thing to do, and defend with a strict "believe all women" motto.
