it doesn't matter if you did or not it just matters that the narrative has been controlled and that everyone THINKS you did. Without any evidence this message is meaningless, Sovereign could literally write almost this message verbatim based on her claims that she is, and was always, a female:
First off before I continue, let me get some of my beliefs out of the way:
SOV: I always that they were a trans woman, but now I think they are a non-trans woman cuz they claim they aren't trans, I haven't seen any type of evidence she is, and she called out the specific person who started the rumor, and then that guy responded with about what I'd expect from normal trash talk rather without evidence.
PROUD: people always say like brother sucker or he sucked his dads dick, so that's kind of inconsistent. He denies it, and I think I've seen some evidence in the form of him saying shit on discord, but I've said shit on discord with the boys to, so theres a very reasonable excuse of "i was just talkin shit w/ da bois". For it to be potentially more genuine evidence, I'd need like a 2 hour long video of two guys talking on discord being emotionally vulnerable with each other than one of the guys like talking about shit that's happened to him in life, but then that would be such a privacy violation that rather than the things he did, I'd find it more of note of who the fuck would upload that?
XTC: I have seen no actual hard evidence for the accusations, I have not seen the .PDF, if you will. People continuously make the claim against him, I asked some people 1 on 1 and they legit believe he is and say they he traveled to a certain country where the age of consent is lower, but I have not yet heard what he himself actually has said about it, so all my judgements are still put on hold, especially when it comes to an accusation of this magnitude. I'd either need something like: An confession, or an admission that isn't explained by just talking shit with the boys, or a genuine accusation from a specific person who claims to have seen it and is willing to basically testify as much as you can testify in an online setting.
If people want to believe something, they aren't going to stop believing it. With the case of Sov or Proud, they could both play into these beliefs in my opinion. Like when someone says The Sovereign cut "it's" dick, sov could be like "yeah i did and it's still bigger than yours", and when someone says Proud sucked off his dad he could be like "Remember when u first got head from ur girl under ur desk? it was me the whole time, faggot". XTC doesn't really have this as a relatively safe option due to the severity of the accusations.
So i'd say, if you play into the accusations and blow them up beyond belief, then it actually makes it harder to believe them, and people think it's just random shit talking. If you try to defend yourself by saying "Post any evidence you have, cuz it never happened and there is no evidence" and debunk anything that comes up, that can work to convince more rational people, but it's tedious and makes you seem desperate. If you just passively say "no i didn't" but people have like some kind of maybe evidence that they share with each other, then I honestly think that is the worst possible scenario.
It was me, I sucked off prouds father and photoshopped his face onto mine to make everyone think he was gay
