This is now trending on social media. I'm not defending Ansari; not personally a fan. But I've not heard of this blog before, and the victim isn't named, so -- despite the specificity of certain details -- I'm not sure how much credence to give to this allegation. I know, I know, as a dude I'm an asshole for even suggesting a sexual assault story might be made up -- I am not saying that. I'm saying the woman isn't named and the blog isn't known to me, so it is difficult to simply take it at face value. For all I know, the blog is hugely popular in social circles I don't travel in, the story was written by a Pulitzer prize winner, and the anonymous woman in question has a genuine story to tell and a genuine fear of reprisal causing her to go unnamed. I am willing to believe the anonymous victim, but I have trust issues in my own personal life, let alone with the words of strangers. I can't see or hear the woman with my own eyes and ears, and I don't know anything about the person who wrote the story. If somebody can tell me something about babe.net that will assure me of its credibility, please do so. Right now, I'm just shocked a story from an obscure blog is trending. Hawaii had a nuclear missile scare, but that isn't trending.
