I'm looking at the comments on AbsolutePunk and I can't believe the way some people think:

A few comments:

This is scary if it's true because look at what happens when a rape victim tries to tell her story. Everybody gets pissed at her and questions her motives and implies that she shouldn't be believed until there is "proof" - and even if this did truly happen, there might not be any "proof" except for her words. Even if this particular case turns out to be false, look at what strangers on the internet do when somebody claims that a famous musician raped them. More people turn on the supposed victim than the supposed rapist. That's fucked up.

...

If nothing else, it makes me want to search his record collection for hints of premeditation.

...

I tend to believe the victim in almost any case. What's the benefit of accusing a rock star/football player/any famous person of something like this?

...

This is really really upsetting. Oberst is one of my favorite musicians and I'll feel so terrible supporting someone so despicable for so long. Curious to see how this pans out but I'm dreading the outcome no matter what happens. Either way, it'll be tough for me to listen to another record by him.

...

Wow, horrible. Although, sadly, im not shocked that Conor Oberst is a rapist.

Makes we want to listen to Desaparecidos again.
