      Arguing about theoretical controversy is the foundation of online discourse.

      For instance, did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio once ate a hotdog without mustard, in public, and then farted, and blamed it on the hotdog vendor? True story, I heard it from a friend who listens to a podcast about celebrity gossip. And it’s DISGUSTING.

      I feel the same way about the coach at MSU (Michigan State University) they said they are firing him before he can even defend himself. And it was a phone call, dude lost his job over a phone call that she could have just ended and blocked him.

      That’s a lot of words to say “I don’t believe people who call the police and file police reports”. Also, that’s a lot of words to say “I feel that private companies shouldn’t have the ability to moderate their platform, and they should be forced to host accused rapists, despite what their advertisers believe is a good look for their brand.” Of course there will be an investigation. This isn’t a coordinated attack on Brand. This is reporting the news. Was it a coordinated attack on Danny Masterson? A coordinated attack on Trump supporters in the days following Jan 6th? Assuming that the investigation will undoubtedly clear Brand’s name is the naive cynicism that the article is referring to.
