Frankly we have all moved on. If you don't want to support LTT no one is stopping you. I am not the biggest fan either but I think we need to move on.
When you say "we", who do you mean there? "Just moving on" from sexual harassment dodges accountability and moreover is what allows them to feel safe in fostering such a culture.
Except, no sexual harassment actually happened.
That lady said there is smoke, and you said OK let's put this fire out. Meanwhile, the fire department called you and said that there is no smoke here and no fire. Yet, you show up, garden hose in hand yelling come on guys let's put this fire out!!!
There is no fire. She lied. It happens. Sometimes people do stupid shit for clout. That doesn't mean that you need to assume all women are lying when they claim sexual harassment.
What it does mean is that instead of believing all women without question, you should instead hear them out, then investigate, and if the evidence is there, then you support them and amplify their claims.
Supporting women can be expressed in demanding investigations into their claims.
Sometimes people lie. It's very important that you understand this. Believing anyone without question is outright stupid. However clearly there is a trend with women being sexually harassed. Because that trend exists then that lends more credence to their claims. And they should be taken VERY seriously. The claims should not be dismissed, but investigated.
In this case, the claims were investigated and found to be untrue.
Oh no, not consequences for his actions! How unfair!
