Well this IS a new trend.
Feels very 202Xish, the rape accusations towards anyone who get recognized a little bit are blowing up these last few years, even Abbé Pierre is going through it right now even though he died in 2007 lol and the false accusations are even more frequent
Shit accidentally tapped post with those fat fingers of mine
What I meant to say was that it doesn't feel like the author was making fun of a "real issue" more likely exposing the "reality of these false accusations" since in the end, it didn't influence the story. We get lots of these here in France. Really, a fucking whole lot.
Which actually end up shadowing the real victims, so ...
what's the random rape plot device like yas let's make fun of a real issue! especially since it had such a minuscule impact on the story.
