Of course not. I'm referring to the "Reddit has a bad habit of assuming" part, which refers to assumptions made about people you don't personally know.
I didn't, you inferred it because that's what everyone who disagrees with you must think.
My only commentary was that lack of a conviction does not necessarily mean the accuser is lying.
It doesn't mean they're telling the truth, but it doesn't mean they're lying.
And let's be real here, everyone forms opinions on public cases, and many people decide guilty/not guilty on their own.
Given the he said/she said nature of many sexual assault cases (which is precisely why convictions are low - you can't send someone to prison just because) automatically assuming no conviction or a withdrawn case means the accuser was lying is ridiculous.
Not denying something is also not admitting to it. Can't even keep consistency in your own fucking comment. I can't offer you proof of what I was thinking as I typed a comment, what kind of request even is that? Calm your crusade there bucko.

Alleged victim. Yes, don't assume either way. Give support, but not against the accused, who could be the real victim.
