It's interesting when intelligent people don't realize that using the term "conspiracy theorist" as a slur has become a bit outdated (to the point of being tone deaf-ish) and marks them as selectively anti-intellectual when they apply it to topics they know little about (or, sometimes by their own admission, care little about) and then try to pose as the adult-in-the-room for doing so.
It's almost like they need to be told to stop sending you emails.
Brand was targeted for his political speech. And his outrageous personal promiscuity was used against him, like all those collegiate "gang rape" cases which turn out to be something else. Except these European courts seem to be getting even worse than ours.
And some of these women have changed their stories over the years.
Like with Kavanaugh on the American Supreme Court a few years ago: I did not want him on the court -- he was far too conservative for my tastes. And when the preposterous rape allegations against him fell apart, still other women lined up to add more rape accusation to supplement the ones that had fizzled... It was obviously a scam to anybody paying attention, and some of those Janie-Come-Lately accusers quietly went down for perjury later.
It's organized today, and used as a political hatchet with increasing frequency.
But I guess that's 'misogyny' when it all seems too complicated to maintain one's interest.
