Russell Brand: rape and sexual abuse allegations, grifting and general dodginess - discussion

[Rob Ray]

I find RT a good sight better than the BBC.

Lol righto Mr "I can recognise propaganda". I think I'll join others on here and leave you to it.

 

[ginger_syn]

You mean the Greyzone is sponsored by Russia? Did not know that. But still, I'm capable of recognizing propaganda. I want to make up my own mind.

I looked, that site is well dodgy.

 

[krtek a houby]

You disgusting misogynistic wanker. You're banned from this thread.

It really has managed to attract some very unpleasant posters.

Misogyny and conspiracy trash all in one go. Ugh.

 

[Dystopiary]

"Wow, didn't realise how many women have been raped and sexually assaulted. We need to call shit out."

"Lol, welcome back misogynist!"

Slow handclap. Some of you need to have a word with yourselves.

I get the impression he knows it's bollocks and just enjoys upsetting people.

 

[gosub]

Ivermectin is a 'revered medicine'?

It's just a fucking parasite remover for livestock. He makes it sound like Ayuerveda or Rhinoceros Big Erection Horn

I wonder how many inane chinese aphorisms he has tattooed on his sex pest body

Did he actually ever go done the route of suggesting self medicating with it for covid?


There are / were a lot of questionable things in Covid but can see legitimate reasons for shutting that sort of shit down

Honestly I just find those types a bit sad, either way they're wasting a lot of their own time and a bit of everyone else's.

 

[8ball]

Everyone here is responsible for wasting their own time.

 

[two sheds]

I can't quite understand the mentality of someone who decides to wind a load of people up for no reason, make their day a bit worse than it already is. Seems to me there's something wrong with them.

 

[Dystopiary]

I'll never stop calling out rape apology if I'm safe to do so, but you do you.

It's always the same with these discussions. Any talk about rape and sexual assault and you can almost guarantee there'll be someone who'll suggest that women frequently lie about these things. Yes, false accusations do happen but they're not nearly as common as people think they are. It just comes across as a way to deflect from the much wider issue of sexual violence against women.

I'm sure he was smart enough not to put himself in legal hot water

Agreed, there are plenty of online spaces for rape apologists - Elon Musk's 'X' and Rumble for example - why tf aren't creeps like Dwyer just permabanned from posting on these boards?

My earlier take on the recent edgelordy disruptor(s)

In recent times of covid and mental health issues, there's been a bit more leniency and amnesties here.

It's no excuse for bigoted/edgelordy/conspiraloons/trolling behaviour, but it does explain the presence of posters like himself. See also; several banned returners who somehow maintain a foothold here, despite having been banned under the "never" promise.

Making himself a legitimate concern to electronic warfare unit doesn't seem that smart

false accusations are a stastitical irrelevance compared to the number of assaults which go unreported for various reasons

And you do you. Which is what I said.

Mostly men having a big chuckle about it. I wonder why.

I suppose when it comes to modding and bans, there are all sorts of things in play - what the person has done before, which threads they are being a twat on and the rest. Seems to me what you say about having a bit more tolerance is probably right and urban gets it about right most of the time. But misogyny on a thread about rape and sexual assault, or 'just' pissing about/conspialoonery on those threads needs stamping on (and has been). Threadbans > warnings > exit door.

there are times when John major's injunction to understand a little less and condemn a little more has some merit

You mean you think Dwyer was pissing about posting those vids for a reaction and nothing more (as opposed to supporting them, or posting for some other reason)?

Gee, it's possible.

Anyway, back to the actual thread.

to be fair he hadn't posted the nasty shit when posters welcomed him back.

 

[story]

I’d just like to note that Dwyer chose my post with which to break his silence.

I don’t think it was my fault though

 

[8ball]

Gee, it's possible.

Anyway, back to the actual thread.

Well, I’ve no idea what Phil thinks at this point, it’s been a long time.
That goat is probably dead by now.

Just over one year ago, he got in a bit of trouble for falsely claiming that it had been added to a government-approved list of treatments:

Russell Brand Tries to Promote Ivermectin, Gets Instantly Fact-Checked by His Own Followers

A video decrying mainstream media’s “misinformation” about COVID added some of its own.

I don't think it matters which is true.

 

[Wilf]

Anyway, given the adage 'if there's one thing worse than being talked about, it's not being talked about'... let's stop talking about him.

 

[two sheds]

talking about who(m)?

 

[8ball]

Today’s video from Brand is a rather different kind of strange.
