@emptywheel Who claims that the article claims (rather than suggests) that?

@KoenSwinkels I'm pointing out that Frat statement is full of non-denial denials. It doesn't deny MUCH of what was reported. -
@emptywheel Do u mean that the statement denies that what was never claimed (ritualized gang rape), but doesnt deny that what *was* claimed? -
@KoenSwinkels Yes. The denial is very very specific, not a generalized denial. Which given allegations of 4 rapes is interesting. -
@emptywheel They deny the core factual basis of J.'s claims: that there was a party that day & the life guard job. That's pretty damning. -
@KoenSwinkels We shall see. What they don't deny is that there were 4 rapes on campus in recent years. Curious, that. -
@emptywheel But they deny the whole factual basis of (IIRC) the only allegation that we (and presumably they) have any details about.

@emptywheel Reference to 'quote' from frat boy saying pledge had to rape if he wanted to be a brother -
@shirazzzz That's reading a lot into the story that is not there. -
@emptywheel Ya I think the frats extrapolating to make it seem more ridiculous. 'Gang rape?! Whatchu talking about.' -
@shirazzzz They're not even denying gang rape (in spite of allegations of repeated gang rape). Just "ritualized" gang rape. -
@emptywheel agreed- the whole statement is subtly phrased to be misleading.
