Rather depressing to see on the front page another "OUTRAGE!!!" screenshot. When I see a comment on Reddit that I disagree with, I generally tend to downvote. If those comments are endemic to a subreddit, I tend to unsubscribe.

I'm sick of hearing that TwoXChromosomes is some sort of den of cackling misandrists. I've posted there several times and never been made to feel unwelcome.

If we must discuss this, some facts about the Kobe Bryant rape case:

• The accuser wore underpants containing another man's semen and pubic hair to her rape examination the following day. One man's semen, not three, which she claimed was because she grabbed the wrong underwear from her laundry.
• Evidence of vaginal trauma, including blood that was not menstrual blood, was found on the accuser's shirt and in her underpants.
• Two of the accuser's coworkers disagreed on her demeanor after the assault--a female coworker said she did not appear upset, but a male coworker claimed she was very distressed and told him that Kobe Bryant attempted to rape her.
• The charges were dropped and the trial dismissed because the accuser informed prosecutors that she was unwilling to testify, not because prosecutors didn't feel there was enough evidence to move forward.
• The accuser's unwillingness to testify may have had something to do with the death threats she received after her identity was exposed despite legal protections for alleged victims of rape. Sports websites dug up information on her and harassed her and her family.
• Kobe reached a confidential settlement with his accuser in a civil suit and made the following statement:

First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo. I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

And--though I'm a little loath to even post it here--a website that still to this day shows Kobe's alleged victim's name and what was her address and phone number during the rape case, along with plenty of technicolor slander and encouragement to harass her.

Kobe Bryant has never been convicted of rape; in our Constitutional republic, that makes him a free man and, at least legally, an innocent man. But that does not necessarily make his accuser a liar. Nor does it make an untruth about the semen of three men a "fact." Nor does it make anger over the harassment received by women who accuse powerful men of rape pointless outrage.

In Kobe's own words, he now understands how his alleged victim did not see the encounter as consensual. There is no question that intercourse occurred. His alleged victim's sexual habits are irrelevant. If your mother or sister happened to be in a promiscuous phase and she was raped, would you excuse her rapist because she had other sexual partners around the same time?

tl;dr: The headline of this post. If you're going to post a screenshot accusing someone of pointless outrage and lauding someone else for posting "Facts," please make sure those facts ARE actually facts first.

Edit: Instantly downvoted--I guess facts don't matter to Reddit after all, unless they agree with the majority of the hivemind and its witch hunt of the day.
