Conor Oberst Accused of Rape
01-07-2014, 06:36 PM
Did she provide any details? E.g.,
- how she came to be alone with him
- was she drinking
- did she say "No" in unequivocal terms
- did she resist, forcefully or otherwise
- did she leave immediately afterward
- did she tell anyone immediately afterward
- etc.
It's easy to say "I was raped". A little harder when you have to flesh out the details which could come back to bite you in the ass if fabricated. Or, if not a blatant lie, could make the case that it was simply 'regret rape'.

I've always hated the guy's music, but he's got my back if these allegations are indeed false.

This sort of thing makes it obvious to me that a non-trivial percentage of rape accusations are the result of a toxic mixture of attention whoring, repressed sexual fantasies, and diagnosable mental illness.

Au contraire, DOBA... being "one of their own" is no match for the awesome power of RAPE. The moment it is invoked, people retroactively classify the offender as "not really one of us, otherwise he couldn't have done it", and all his former goodwill is destroyed. Just look at Assange. A sizable portion of the public actually believes the ludicrous claims against him simply because they have been conditioned to do so.

Good for him.
If the accusations are false, she deserves to pay him the whole one million. I'm sure his reputation has been damaged quite a bit from this, and I'm sure he's going to lose out on a lot of concert bookings and such because of it.

I'm just happy they named her.
I've never understood why someone accused of rape is always named, but never the victim.
Women can easily recover from rape, especially if one NEVER HAPPENED. But does anyone ever recover from an accusation? Even if your'e proved 110% innocent?

Libel over the Internet is real. Vincent Vinturi it's time you go collect your million. You were falsely accused of writing a rape guide which is not to be taken lightly.

Conor Oberst Accused of Rape

Great news, thanks for the update. That's four obviously false rape allegations I've read about in the past couple of weeks:
-Conor Oberst
-Mike Arrington
-Deric Lostutter, a story so ludicrous I can't find any semi-mainstream website that reported on it other than Jezebel (try googling his name)
-Cards Against Humanity guy, this one counts less because of his embarrassing response to it, but still counts anyways
Good news is the first two brought lawyers in and the third was consulting legal counsel. People can claim false rape allegations never happen because the process of involving police is too difficult, but that's a moot point - none of these four involved police and all are baseless accusations, in some cases many years after the fact. Lives and reputations damaged due to mentally unstable and/or narcissistic attention whores.
And you can't even say "never put your dick in crazy" because two of those guys never even had sex with the girl!
The more fighting back & slamdunk smackdowns like these that result, the better.

Agreed. Although I note that most of these men are pre-selected for fame. So at least regular Joes are less likely to attract this type of false accusation.

From the older Jezebel article on the Oberst accusation:
"Why would she want to hurt Oberst? And why would someone lie about being sexually assaulted? What could be gained from that? Nothing, really."
The author, Tracie Morrissey, defends this comment after the recent revelations. She's delightfully unaware of the fact that crazy people don't need logical reasons to do crazy shit. The article otherwise entertains skepticism about the accusation, a little surprising for Jezebel.
