Because the burden of proof for smearing somebody and ruining their life publicly with association to a child rapist should be a bit higher than just “of course he knew!” No. We have a trial system for this reason. These Twitter threads are scary.

Victims & people who have worked w/ them know there is a space btwn the trial system and "of course he knew!" Dismissing it completely b/c of outrage is a bad way of reacting to others' outrage. Experience tells me to be careful abt accusing Pinker & about attacking those who do.

The ones accusing Pinker aren’t victims or claiming to be so. They’re just mobbing up on him. Quite frankly as far as I can tell here the actual victim in this situation is Pinker himself. Before I get angry responses- again, no proof he knew.

As far as you can tell. As far as they can tell. As far as I can tell. We weren't there. The hard fact is neither that Pinker is guilty or that he is innocent. There are tragic pitfalls in stating either. Saying that Pinker is "the actual victim," is sad and harmful. "the"

So you’re saying you’re not taking a position on the mob arbitrarily choosing Pinker to ruin because of “it may or may not be the case”. JFC lol. Ok let’s just pick anybody who has been found in a photo with Epstein to ruin (bc we’re woke). That’s basically the evidence.
