The retribution from those who act upon these accusations almost universally targets a livelihood. I gave one example and have heard even worse ones. I have also been the victim of false accusation, which resulted in me acquiring a stalker who has performed some of these tricks on me. Luckily, that has been limited to one crazy, and I cannot express to you how anxious I am that it's not many more people.
Imagine an entire group of people outright working to deny you the ability to feed yourself and, potentially, your family, then tell me it's a distasteful comparison.
I'm not allowed to say any of this based on the rules of this discussion, by the way. I just sit back and look at all the people who stood by Jackie in spite of any of the plethora of ways that story began to fall apart, and I shake my head. Doubt is a thing of the past, and that frightens me. Truly. I think it's going to be an extreme social issue going forward.
