Ballard:
To clear up:

Firstly, I don't think it's my place to judge the legitimacy of allegations brought upon anyone based on "news" articles. Dov Charney is a sleazy looking dude who lives in a sleazy city and undoubtedly deals with thousands of sleazy women. He is wealthy and his company has been hot shit for the past few years. Online media outlets have plenty of motive to play up sexual harassment stories. Since everything is alleged, after all, and it's unlikely that the accuser will come to the defense of the accused regarding the extent of the allegations, they can be as sensational and alarmist as they want without risking a libel suit. The possibility that he is a disgusting creep is no more or less likely than the possibility that he's an awkward douche who's getting fucked by scores of bitter models for his money.

Secondly, I couldn't care less who runs the company. Although their hoodies suck, they make great T-shirts and underwear. If Dov Charney is a molester, he would likely be a molester whether or not he was profiting from the comfort of my junk.

I would regard not buying things (extremely) indirectly from an alleged sex criminal as a question of personal politics.

Just the thing with the lady from Jane magazine that I read a while back would be enough over here.  Over here if you tried running a company calling your female employees sluts & cunts and masturbating in front of them you'd probably actually go to jail.  Unless the lady from that mag is straight lying through her teeth then it's pretty clear-cut.

To be clear, if he was doing this shit among friends or equals then I wouldn't care less.  But doing it from a position of power over the people that he does it to is breaking a handful of laws (at least here) and I'm amazed that he isn't in jail.

Drill King:
Damn, can't believe women who could be victims of sexual abuse just because the guy being accused has money. Obviously they are liars because of money. Damn.

Ballard:
Andy, not only is that blatantly not what I said but I went to great pains to make sure that it couldn't be inferred. Lame move to pull.

tl;dr I don't have an opinion and I don't care to, I just want some hoodies. This horse has been beaten stupid dead and no-one has any more to say on the issue than they did last time. I don't distrust women who accuse rich guys of sexual abuse, but I distrust the media when they report on it because both rich, powerful men and sexual abuse are inherently slippery topics which attract readers.

Alex C:
My solution to the AA is skeevy and doesn't fit me anyway problem was to buy a green zip up hanes hoodie that at least fits me across the shoulders nice even if the rest of it seems designed for fat people. Of course, now that I think about it, it was probably made by some dude in El Salvador getting paid in centavos. The moral as always is that the universe sucks and pretty much all of us need to try harder.
