Really, the "I need proof (of your rape)" is extremely hosed up. What do they want, a loving video of the victim currently being raped?
This is the worst problem with a serious crime like this in the first place. Except in very rare situations, you can't prove it, and you can't DISprove it. But at the same time, it has to be handled with care because it's life-ruining for both parties. It tends to be up to situations like this where you can determine the character of the accused beyond a doubt. Yeah, I'm drat sure he really did it.

Tobuscus' mom did a big run-through of it and why she doesn't believe it which I think is pretty great though. Toby's mom claims the lady is a crazy stalker so hey who knows.

You know who else's mom defended a sweet, innocent boy? Ross Ulbricht. Look 'im up. Some moms defend ANYTHING.

Denials don't make good evidence of innocence, especially from mom. Given the character evidence from these separate incidents involving him though, I'm certain it can be the last nail in the coffin for that doubt.

-Go to the police immediately, talk to surly strangers asking if you were dressed too slutty that night. They're just making sure you didn't deserve it!
That's a rather colored and dire picture of what police are like and I can't say it reflects reality, at least not where I am. I had a lot more to say but I'm going to cut that there. Just be aware that your post assumes the absolute worst case and that everyone is out to get you. In reality, there does need to be more in the lines of protection for accusers, so as victims they speak up sooner and in greater numbers without affording any extra ground for people who would seek to abuse the system. for money or revenge. Victims of traumatic experiences need to feel welcomed because making an accusation against someone is a daunting task even for someone who isn't in an emotional state. My family is full of people who just can't seem to bring themselves to sue anyone even though they've been super illegally wronged and in many cases almost killed, so I can't imagine how it must be for someone who feels the odds are stacked against them (no thanks to posts like yours encouraging people to just admit defeat before they even try)

Yeah, couching the content of my post in a very over-the-top Youtube video format and ending it with "Skit over. I hate this." was obviously FAR too subtle. (This is also a sarcastic quip.)

Inability to recognize satire aside, Cheez, why are your relatives not reporting nearly lethal assault if your local law enforcement are not going to treat them as 'guilty until proven victims?' Is it because instead of reporting a crime they're for some reason thinking of filing lawsuits? Did you type the wrong word as a mistake and didn't mean to imply your family members were hesitant to sue their assailants as opposed to informing the authorities of attempts on their life?

Didn't you use to have mod-given red text under your avatar?

Yeah, I hope next week comes soon. The only other Outside SA LP news I've come across that isn't Bryon Beaubien-like is the standard "PewDiePie was a guest on Conan O'Brien's" and "'That Dragon, Cancer' making No Revenue vs. Let's Players complaining about Content ID matching said game's soundtrack." Same old, same old.

I don't really know who gave me red text, but they completely misinterpreted something I said about games and gave me that + DSP avatar, if that's what we're talking about. I don't even remember what they said or what I said, just that it's meaningless to that conversation. About everything else though, I'd elaborate on what I'd said earlier except it seems like JordanKai would like the conversation to stop in general, so I'm going to respect that.

The last time this happened, he claimed that the "Don't monetize" checkbox didn't work even when he had checked it, and provided screenshots as proof. YouTube's partner system is lovely and allows partners to override that stuff.

Then get in touch with the controlling partner and get them to turn it off. If they refuse, post it elsewhere like Reddit or Facebook and share it on Twitter, let the fans spread it from there.

Oh, was I thinking of somebody else then? I remember a monetization controversy where the guy came out and said "I tried to disable it and it didn't work and I put in a support ticket with my YouTube partner". I distinctly remember a bit where the guy showed the checkbox being off, then went to the video and saw ads.

It was around the same time some other partner (Maker I think?) was flipping out and put videos every two seconds on people's videos.

WHAT IF.......... okay, I feel like this is a thing that could really happen, okay? WHAT IF..... Toby gets called out a lot about the monetization of that video, so he makes another monetized video saying that the proceeds from that video are getting donated to a rape-related charity to prevent "Real Rape", so that he can use that charity as a shield to prove he's totes not a rapist.

Do I get a prize if this happens?

Well I mean in terms of "is PDP super-duper influential", the answer is absolutely. It's just weird to see him TIMES recognized.

That being said, that whole article is weird and written by unusual sources. President Obama wrote an article, and the closing line explains that he is the 44th president of the United States. Another fun fact: Kim Jong Un is also on that list.
