  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I thought “why is everyone insisting on ‘innocent until proven guilty’?” and I came to the same conclusion you did.

At first I was like… are there super fans of this particular monarchy or something? Because I didn’t really want to believe that there are more people who think multiple women are going to pretend they were sexually assaulted by a prince for clout.

It’s crazy to me that society seems to legitimately regress sometimes.

I want to say even my comment has received downvotes. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at that.
