For those that don't know Trevor Bauer is some chud-adjacent former MLB pitcher. I don't follow baseball much I know he made the unforgivable error of criticizing Obama and I think he said something good about orange man. Anyway he was accused of r*pe much to the delight of redditors, and now that the accuser has had charges filed against her those same redditors are NOT HAPPY 
.
The post itself has 500 comments and a 50/50 spread of upvotes.
Reddit loves innocent untl proven guilty, unless it's DV/sexual assault, then it's straight to the pitchforks
That's not why for him. He went against their political bible, they care about that more than anything You can see from the comments in here, they don't care if it was proven to be false that two of the loudest accusers claiming he sexually assaulted them were proven to be false and both tried to extort him. They hate him because he doesn't subscribe to their politics. Which as someone who hates both sides, its absolutely hilarious to see how people can be so caught up in shit they have no control over.
Or you are a famous athlete with with money to obtain with weird kinks and personality in a highly litigious society.
When one of his kinks is beating women up to the edge of legality during s*x, he set himself up to cross that line someday. If he did or not is difficult to prove but the fact that he put himself in that situation is no one's fault but his own. I can't blame MLB teams for wanting nothing to do with him.
I'm too lazy to sift through the whole thread but with that point/comment spread I'm sure there are plenty to pick from

The cope has generally played out as:
Just because the judge called her a liar during a restraining order hearing doesn't mean he didn't do it. Criminal charges are still being investigated.
Just because the criminal charges were dropped doesn't mean he didn't do it. The lawsuit is still active.
Just because the lawsuit has been settled without him paying any money doesn't mean he didn't do it. R*pe charges are hard to prove and there was a criminal case so if she had lied she would be charged with lying to the police.
