    Awful lot of comments here pretending he didn’t rape his sister. I wonder why.

    Edit: I love that the replies I’m getting literally prove my point. Real repulsive shit.

        What’s the question? His sister has talked about him raping her multiple times. But since he’s got a lot of sci-fi weirdo fans that sweep that kind of thing under the rug for him, he hasn’t really had to address it.

        Most of the comments in this thread are about “I mAgINe if AI Did IT?”

          Oh. I just hadn’t heard about it. Fucked up if true . Searching for his name now just talks about current news. Wikipedia holds nothing. Do you have a credible source for this?

            Literally Google his name and the word sister. Not only will articles come up, but her original Twitter threads do too. Starts in 2021.

                …from the victim. What a shit thing to say. But I guess hero worship tends to make toxic people look the other way on rape pretty often, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

                  Without proof there is no victim. It’s just a person speaking about another person. I don’t go around sentencing random people with unconfirmed charges. Innocent until proven guilty.

                  I don’t give a shit about this man in the slightest. I didn’t even know who the CEO was until today. However, people spouting a tweet like it’s hard evidence is so stupid it really makes you wonder how someone can be that dumb.

                  If it did happen then it’s terrible but without proof there isn’t any way to prove it.

                    Well for sure what he needs is you here defending him. Nice work. All the concern you express is for him, none for her. And it’s not “a tweet”, it’s multiple threads over 2 years. Strange you’re trivializing the allegations like that. It’s surprising to me when weirdos choose to defend against rape allegations, more so when it’s incest and child related. And for some reason there’s always the tech fans doing it. Normally I’d wonder why, but I’m sure you have your legitimate reasons to pretend a little girl wasn’t raped by an older brother.

                  As someone who has been falsely accused the assumption of guilt is unfair. Tweets are not evidence.

      There was a series of three tweets and no follow-up. I wouldn’t necessarily assert it so strongly.

        … she’s talked about it multiple times for two years. Sort of a gross look to pretend a victim hasn’t discussed being a victim on multiple occasions. Do you work for his PR group, or are you just a toxic fan?

          What the hell? How about leaving such matters to courts? While terrible if true, I’ll hold of judging until something is proven. It’s too easy to ruin someone’s life with false accusations.

      Because its both irrelevant to the topic (unless that’s the reason he was fired, which I doubt) and a mere allegation. Innocent until proven guilty.

        I’m betting the board doesn’t think incest rape is good for the brand. Good thing he has heroes like you to defend him, otherwise raping his sister might actually tarnish his image.
