If you're the sort to believe serious allegations without investigating the truth of those allegations, taking your moot's word for everything instead of thinking for yourself and coming to your own conclusions, thus perpetuating false narratives-
Don't let me catch you acting like you care about what's right. Someone who cares about what is right won't jump to conclusions- especially not on the word of someone who makes accusations behind the cover of anonymity- without first taking into account every side to a story.
Is there no habeas corpus where you're from? Do people get sentenced before they're given a fair trial where you are? If that's the case at your place, don't enforce it here, especially not if you wanna show everyone how 'unproblematic' you are: spinelessness is very problematic.
It's problematic because if one person was being malicious (as opposed to getting their facts wrong about a person) anyone believing them without investigating their allegations would cause more people to hate the one under fire for wrongs they, oftentimes, didn't even commit.
And it is NEVER right to condemn the innocent.
As a writer, I know how easy it is to twist narratives, to make ppl see what I want them to see. That's why it's important to conduct your own investigation instead of just believing what your moots say abt a person: you're not their slave that their opinions need to be yours too
And if you find you don't have the time or energy to conduct your own investigation (imagine how it is for the one being accused; they're probably more exhausted than you are) that's a good sign you shouldn't partake in the spreading of allegations.
If you feel you gotta take part in harassing someone who may or may not be innocent to please a moot of yours, you might wanna reconsider being moots with them. Is partaking in hurting a stranger worth keeping their friendship? What is their friendship even worth?
The way I see it, if they would go out their way to hurt someone who has done them no personal wrong, to twist their words too, for the sake of satiating their ego- they don't care about truth- what's to guarantee they won't do that to you too?
Sure. They're on your side now. But considering how they call people out for clout, uncaring of how such callouts might affect the person, uncaring of how the person might be innocent, doing it just bc it feels good- what's stopping them from feeling good by finding fault in you?
The fact you share opinions? Hahaha. Even best friends beg to differ sometimes, and if they've never, one or the other's an asslicker- that, or they're a manipulator.
Are you really okay with being moots with someone whose opinion you can't contradict lest they come after you?

Lemme be frank: I'm not an enabler. When moots do things that raise concern, I have a private word with them. I won't call them out publicly bc I find callouts more about satiating the ego than inspiring change. I care more about change than going on a power trip.
So don't assume I'm in support of everything my moots do just bc I don't show my dissent publicly. I've my own way of doing things. But I like to think it's better to be moots with someone who respects a person's need for dignity than one who only cares about satiating their ego.
The whole point of this thread was to say:
YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON, your own expert. You can, and you are allowed to, THINK FOR YOURSELF.
And if someone you follow makes you feel otherwise, you might want to reconsider following them.
You're more than just a follower.
