Even if I find this appealing, I wonder why you need to do this whataboutism.

I think it’s important to point it out. The other rapist is exalted when he should be getting shut down too.

Yeah. Here:

https://amp.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/17/a-timeline-of-sexual-assault-allegations-against-russell-brand

Of all those claims, these stuck out:

  • a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.

  • In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.

  • In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.
