"He got #MeToo'd" is usually used in reference to fraudulent or ambiguous allegations that ruin a person's life/career based on nothing but a woman's word. It doesn't imply guilt automatically, so it's not a direct alternative to "she got raped" as the TC seems to think it is. why is the implication that #metoo is linked to false accusations Probably because of the hashtag. The idea that people would announce or even talk about such a serious subject on something like social media and describe it using the hashtag gimmick is... difficult to comprehend. Also, probably because there is a lot of media surrounding any event where a victim is caught in a lie or where the act is so small (hug, cheek kiss, mild flirting) that it would be nothing to the average person but it ruins the offenders life anyway (see Vic Mignogna). On the other side, there is almost no media coverage for Woman was raped, accused was convicted and sent to prison because that would be a boring story. However, the lack of any of this coverage leads some to believe the former situation is much more common than it is. <cite>Kami_no_Kami posted [p:925303682] in Don't ...
