For one, people can support what they believe is Soacey’s recollection of the truth, but the tendency to blame the victim just because you like the actor is pretty despicable. Comments diminishing the accusation as attention seeking, misremembering, etc are a clear sin of (like calgaryblood said) why so many struggle to come forward with stories of sexual abuse.
Secondly, I also don’t believe Spacey is using his sexuality as a means to “deflect” anything. If it is, that’s shameful, but can we also avoid just assuming that coming out is some tool to be used for social gain?
