George Takei Accused of Sexually Assaulting Former Model in 1981

104. What reason does this specific person have to lie?

I said in another post on this that I don't buy the Christian Patriarchy bullshit that says "speaking out late in the day" is wrong or automatically discredits a victim.

And just because George is sorta a sacred cow doesn't mean we need to make the same goddamn idiotic victim-blaming bullshit statements that the other side is famous for. I believe victims until something specific comes up about the victim that makes me question their motivations.

If people find out that this specific victim has made false accusations before, or has some vendetta, or got sent to "pray the gay away" brainwashing school and now thinks every sexual encounter he had with a man was wrong... that's when we should start "sniff testing".

Until then even if we want to believe (as I certainly want to believe) this isn't true, we can't let that interfere with condemning the described behavior as WRONG. Even if he had far more than two drinks, or had been on Xanax so the alcohol he drank with Takei hit him harder.

And also, again, this could have happen WITHOUT it being a deliberate plan to rape a person, if the drinks were stiff enough. What makes the behavior wrong is that when a person is ill/dizzy/passed out from some intoxicant, people shouldn't try to fuck them just because they can't say no.
