Yeah, pretty much that. Also don't forget, they didn't all of the sudden get together one night and decide 'we need to cover up all the rapes'. Not to mention rape is not a new thing, they were probably hushing these things up since back before television, even. It's easier to do heinous things if everyone before you has been doing them.

cant speak to the UK, but in the US, much of this college rape adjudication farce stems from their title ix legal liability thanks to some really ill-advised "dear colleague" letters from the dept of education in the past 5 years.

it is exclusively a left-wing phenomenon, from the bureaucrats' mandates to the administrators' implementation to the students and faculty sitting in judgment.

ask any conservative or libertarian "who should be handling these cases?" and the answer will always be "the police"

The "Dear Colleague" letters are some of the most terrible poo poo around. They occupy a weird grey area where they can't be challenged because they're an interpretation of official policy rather than official policy themselves, but when the DoE is acting against colleges they still use the "Dear Colleague" letters as guidelines for how policy is actually enforced. It's a legal loophole that's rendered the DoE unaccountable in a lot of ways. I'm against right wing attempts to defund it, but the "Dear Colleague" poo poo needs to stop.

It's clear that the only way for people to protect themselves is to be recording everything at all time by carrying secret cameras.

"Actually officers, all I said was 'I like your bright neon green hair' and she replied with, 'Oh thanks.' As seen in this video."

The Orwellian nightmare becomes SJW shut down tools. There would be zero consequences whatsoever of recording everything. None at all.

Pretty much. The "Dear Colleague" letter has pretty much lead to the current situation where sexual assaults, arguably the second most serious type of crime, have somehow become a matter that universities are responsible for handling. So now they're afraid because if they do too much, they'll get sued and bad PR, if they do too little, they'll get sued and bad PR, and the people actually handling the cases tend to be unqualified, have personal biases and conflicts of interest, and are able to make up their own rules as they go along. It's a completely stupid situation yet the catch 22 nature of "Dear Colleague" letters make it all but impossible to change without taking on the DoE.

Secret video cameras are all well and good, but may not be admissible depending on whatever pack of university administrators/faculty happen to be running the committee that day.

the big problem is that if you don't let universities handle it then it's left up to the police to investigate, and they are extremely misogynist because they might ask the victim questions and try to find evidence which is v. problematic and triggering.

A lot of schools are getting the poo poo sued out of them and are paying out big bucks to those dragged in front of their troikas. Public universities in a number of states are hurting for cash at best or collapsing at worst; they need to fight for funding and not get mired between a rock and a hard place.

This is literally the argument they use. Even if a rape accusation is false and an innocent persons life is ruined, that's okay because actually questioning an accuser is potentially triggering and might stop other rape victims from coming forward or something. The preponderance of evidence standard is bullshit.

He got called-out on twitter by tumblr people who demanded that he explain himself to assure everyone he didn't make what was clearly an edit

he took a lot of older stuff down that was tumblr-unfriendly while the spotlight was on him because you had a lot of people going "well even if it is an edit, kc still has a problematic history so how could we have known"

people seem to be extremely unaware that kc has a history of anxiety and depression to where calling him out on sjw twitter was probably the most traumatic moment of his recent life and worse than anything a tumblr person has felt because they read an illegal gunshow photoshop
