Anyone who thinks an adult telling about being molested as a child is a liar --

92. Then put on ignore everyone who believes in the basic principle of presumption of innocence

If we aren't functioning as an actual jury, it's not like I expect people not to have opinions about what is or is not most likely in a given case. (If we're talking specific stories in the news, I'd say Woody Allen's guilt seems fairly likely). But don't confuse taking a type of crime seriously with lowering your standards of evidence for that crime.

At an emotional level I understand what's going on. Someone has been hurt, you want to be supportive, you want to stand up for the victim, and it seems like the best way to be supportive is to believe the person who is claiming to be hurt without question.

The converse of that is that you get angry with someone who wants to allow for the possible innocence of the accused as if merely allowing for that makes them an accomplice or an enabler, or at the very least insensitive to the plight of a victim.

Consider, however, the scary implications of this kind of thinking. This means the more serious the crime, the less evidence you require, the more you want the mere say-so of the accuser to be the be-all and end-all of determining guilt.

Even if there aren't actually that many false accusations, making this kind of presumed guilt thinking commonplace would be the best way to make sure false accusations become much more common.
