    as if no one gave a shit

    Seems like almost everyone is ready to dismiss credibly sexual assault allegations against one of their own, just really tragic. Just post that Assange is a sex pest around these parts, and people will come out of the woodwork to "well, actually" about it.

      Assange is different because every time someone brings up Assange's history of sabotaging condoms and fucking sleeping women ( aka rape), it is almost invariably to dismiss the stories broken by wikileaks. It is unfortunate that the two factors cannot be seperated, as indeed it is quite possible for Assange to be a sexual predator AND the US to have comitted war crimes.
