There is something I just love about this photo. I think it’s my favorite one.

There’s something just so genuine and candid about his smile.

He’s not joking around or being goofy, he’s not smiling for fans or for the camera at all.

It’s just a moment where he was truly happy.

I hope we get to see more of this Percy.

The Tim Burton romantic lead archetype. Tall, thin, brooding. Tortured, misunderstood. Impassioned. Looks a little like he might cough blood into a handkerchief.

I really like this photo. Not only does his hair frame his face nicely, the pop of red really brings out the green of his eyes.

Imagine thinking that “innocent until proven guilty” is just some CARD that people on the internet pull and not, y’know, a written law and protected human right in many countries worldwide.

and in the United States Constitition, although it doesn’t explicitly say “innocent until proven guilty,” the 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments make reference to fair trial and due process, which are DIRECTLY TIED to the assumption that the accused is innocent until proven guilty.

Other countries that have the presumption of innocence until proven guilty written into law include but are not limited to:

As you can see, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty is pretty damn important. It is NOT some silly little dumb concept that was invented by trolls on the internet so they could discredit people who go on twitter and claim to be victims of celebrities and then BRAG on tik tok about taking down said celebrity.

Also, Percy’s SILENCE is not proof of guilt. Being silent, and not taking the bait of his accusers, exactly what he’s supposed to do in a situation like this.

And in this case, Percy’s accusers have given us more than enough reason to distrust them.

Epic failure!

When all this drama started, it became obvious very quickly that the goal for these girls was to turn everyone, fans or not, against Percy.

It had nothing to do with justice. No crimes or slights were actually committed. It was a childish, high school vendetta by a few unpopular girls who were angry that their crush didn’t love them back.

So they set out to “destroy” him. To end his career, ruin his relationships and permanently damage his public reputation.

And yes, they appeared to have succeeded for a while as the cancel Percy hashtag started to trend. But when the dust settled it became obvious that the only people on their bandwagon were people who never liked him to begin with.

The shitshow sisters failed to actually turn anyone against Percy. His haters always existed. New potential fans saw through it and didn’t give a damn. And his existing fans, well, it only made us more protective. It had the opposite effect of what they intended. He hasn’t lost jobs, in fact he’s signing contracts and winning awards. His friends didn’t desert him, they’re subtly defending him and supporting him. Their little cancel party failed. They failed.

They’re going to keep trying - pathological people don’t give up so easy. But all they’ll continue to succeed in doing is making us more and more protective. The Mama bears have been provoked, the evil vengeful spirits have been summoned. They can continue to try, but they’ll just keep failing.

Feeling so protective of this boy tonight. Want to wrap him in a warm blanket and make sure no one hurts him. I’m so sorry you’ve been betrayed so many times by so many people you should have been able to trust. You don’t deserve it.

The accusers chose the Court of Public Opinion, in the District of Social Media as their venue. It is a bench trial with me, the Honorable Psychic Refugee presiding, at the Psychic-Refugee Tumblr Courthouse.

Judgement

The accusers have walked back their most heinous accusations and the current ones do not meet the standard for criminal behavior. This is a de facto retraction. 

Therefore, the accusations for rape and sexual assault are dismissed. 

For the accusations against his character, I do not find the evidence to be compelling or persuasive. Therefore, I find the accusations, both explicit and implied, to be unsubstantiated.

PHW has not been proven guilty by preponderance of the evidence, on all counts.

Opinion

The accusers’ story got bogged down and confusing through their own words and actions. Their “evidence” as-is would never hold up in a real court. In the Court of Public Opinion, however, where I can accept the evidence for the sake of argument, I still find it confusing and unpersuasive. There is no crime alleged nor facts established, only alluded to. A majority of the crimes aren't even lobbed at PHW, only that he was a bystander and they felt he should have done something more. What he could have done more than the others who were also at these parties, I don’t know. They don’t say. I don’t think it’s fair to single him out as “he should have been my hero.” If he was a minor at these parties, he’s not liable as he doesn’t own the home, nor is he responsible for others' actions.

If he was not a witness to the crimes, then his testimony would be hearsay and there was nothing he could have done besides encourage the accuser to go to the police. 

His alleged assault on others is hearsay. It’s a rumor of a rumor on Twitter. I’m never inclined to believe a rumor. To date, these alleged victims have not stepped forward. 

His alleged assault on one of the accusers was clarified and fails to meet the standard of criminal assault, if it happened at all. 

The accusers have failed or refuse to even establish the fact they were ever at the same party as PHW during the time frames they proffered. There is legitimate doubt that one of the accusers has even MET PHW. 

They all have failed to establish any facts at all. 

The burden of proof is on the accusers, and they’ve literally said they have none.

The “evidence” they do have, isn’t evidence of PHW doing anything, much less anything criminal. They’re all just screenshots of conversations, the accusers themselves vaguely alluding to supposed crimes via tweets. None of that together or separately proves any wrongdoing, even if the screenshots are all real.

It is alarming these Twitter posts are being taken as gospel that PHW is guilty of anything.

"Believing women" means that I don’t presume their motivation or assume bad faith in their accusations. Given that the situation involves trauma, I try to also look at the evidence through a nuanced lens. That means that I try to give some grace in the story not having 100% exacting details. I try to give grace to their mindset and behavior. I don’t expect those experiencing trauma to make the most prudent legal or logical decisions.

"Believing women" DOES NOT mean that I take their story as fact, and also harshly condemn the accused without hearing their side and seeing their own evidence to refute the accusations. It DOES NOT mean that if someone brings up a good point contrary to the accuser’s story with publicly known facts or circumstantial evidence, that the person is a monster for daring to scrutinize an alleged victim at all. 

"She's a victim" cannot be used ad infinitum, nor can it be used as blinders to facts. 

"She's a victim" is not a panacea for deficits in evidence or behaviour that suggests malice. 

I still have a duty to scrutinize the evidence either side puts forth and make a decision. My decision has no bearing on anything consequential, other than what I choose to watch and content I create. So, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

While I try to give grace and nuance to the accusers’ behaviour through the lens of trauma, I still find their behaviour troubling and even malicious. I don’t judge the fact they went to social media if they felt it was their only avenue to be heard. I don’t judge the timing because trauma can take a while to process.

Calling the situation “canceling” and looking rather flippant and gleefully vindictive to said canceling on MULTIPLE social medias, it does put doubt in my mind of their motivations. I did not presume a motive, but I can’t ignore a possible motive if they make their opinions known and broadcast their own actions. No one told them to post on tiktok and Twitter, they chose to and therefore opened those posts up to scrutiny.

I looked at their behaviour and came to a well thought out and reasoned conclusion. 

At some point, grace has to run out if they give more reasons to doubt them than not.

The phrase “You know how to make this stop,” is very concerning to me and I would like more context.

The accusers did themselves no favors by continuing to post after the accusations broke. By choosing to post and not seek legal counsel, the story got chaotic and muddled. They poisoned their own well. Further, they implicitly admitted to using hyperbolic language when they walked back the allegations to lesser offenses or no offenses at all. 

What’s worse, is that they may have turned their alleged assaulter into a victim.  Given how we saw things in real time, their victimization of him has more evidence than his alleged victimization of them. Intimate photos of him have been circling and the accusers may have leaked them or at the least encouraged them to spread.

“my god am I happy these [leaked nudes] r on the internet.”

This was the death knell of any pity I might have had for accusers. My grace has run out. 

It is abhorrent that the accusers went on a character assassination campaign, rather than reinforce their evidence of their alleged assaults, fix the deficits in what they had already proffered, or go to the police/seek legal help.

It is suspicious when they stoop to attacking the character of the accused rather than prove actual wrongdoing. This "scorched earth" tactic to assassinate character is the exact playbook of misogynists and what MeToo and Believe Women was trying to fight against. They are the monsters they accuse "rape apologists" of being. 

The two worst assertions of his character were that he’s racist and a paedophile, neither of which have anything to do with the alleged assault.

In this instance and at this point, I am compelled to seriously question their motives.

For the sake of argument, I’m assuming all pics I saw were authentic. 

For the accusations of racism: The two “exhibits” referred to were insta post likes and a video of him saying the racial slur “coon.”

The insta posts in question are pictures without captions and no context. I did see these for myself on the insta profile before the account was locked. Only two pictures had me wanting more explanation. One was the word “Supremist” against a yellow background, and another was an Iron Cross. The Supremist pics were either right next to or very close to the Iron Cross.

The word has a lot of connotations, and I want more context. I don’t automatically presume it’s racist as a standalone word. It does give me more pause, however, when it’s close to an Iron Cross.

The Iron Cross itself has a long history and there is some evidence it’s used for other things than Nazism now. The question is: what was it used for in THIS context AND what was PHW’s understanding of it at the time of his “like?”

The insta user’s name was found to be in an article that explained their photos were political art. https://curate.la/event.php?id=17301 So, it’s possible that yes, the photos do refer to racist ideology, but within the context of political art. Did PHW know it was political art? 

The burden of proof is on the accusers, they have failed to meet that burden. 

The video is allegedly him quoting lines from a movie that he was ultimately cut from, that happened to have a slur in it. He is an actor. CONTEXT MATTERS. Is Leonardo DiCaprio a racist for being Calvin Candie in Django Unchained? There is circumstantial evidence that connects the video to a movie with racial themes. Them (2021) Them (TV Series 2021– ) - IMDb

Allegedly he was cut from this movie and is not listed on IMDB, but he is shown as a cast member in google. google.com>Them 2021 cast (last visited 13 February 2023)

I find this evidence to be persuasive. In the video he had an odd accent along with clothes and hairstyle not typical of his personal style. There was no one else in the video and was speaking directly into the camera. He wasn’t hurling a slur towards anyone specific. It also explains the use of the outdated slur, the movie takes place in the 1950's. He was playing an upsetting character, so I get why people are upset. That does not, however, make him racist.  

I would also like to point out that we haven't seen the original post for this video. There could be tags or a caption to give it context. All I've been able to find are reposts of this video with no original tags.

Even with the haircut, clothes, lack of victim the slur was directed at, and the lack of any context, people jumped to conclusions. 

PHW has not been proven guilty of being racist by preponderance of the evidence.

For the accusation of paedophilia: None of the pics were of children. None of the child-like art was of children. None of the art had naked or sexualized drawn children. None of the pictures were sexual at all. The closest picture to a child was a caricature/anime style of a small being that might have been a child, but it wasn’t naked nor was it sexualized. The only captions were in a different language that I am not fluent in. PHW liked these photos with no comment.

Again, I have no context for these photos and nothing even at face value suggests to me that they have anything to do with paedophila.

PHW has not been proven guilty of paedophilia by preponderance of the evidence.

His alleged kinks were brought up and I definitely am not going to give that any judicial notice. Kinks are personal and frankly never anyone’s business. 

These kinks are not relevant, and I do not give them any judicial notice and are struck from the record.

All pithy court jokes aside, my opinions and judgement might be disappointing to some. I can live with that. I’ve been articulate and impartial, I was WILLING to believe the accusers.

Through the accusers' own petty, malicious, and feckless words and actions, they convinced me not to trust their word. 

There's nothing more for me to do and I don’t expect more of myself than I would expect from others.

I can only consider the evidence I have before me when making a decision. That means, I give myself grace to be proven wrong later on. Maybe there is more, substantiated evidence that will come to light. Maybe he'll surprise me and come out with a full confession and apology. I will consider that evidence when it’s brought before me, and I can change my mind.

I will not punish someone for hypothetical evidence that may never manifest.

There is no pride or prize in jumping to conclusions under the guise of feminism.
