I don't think I realized it was that soon after the incident. I always assumed months or years had passed, so the details were fuzzy and maybe gave him confidence he could dismiss it. But no, the thread is so long and the accusation so recent that it's clear he had been stewing on it and rearranging the details to match his self-perception.
It's possible online evidence of the accusation was nuked by the poster, but it also seems likely this was just making the rounds in his real-life circles or in internal Slacks. So he made it public-er to get ahead of the story. In fact, he references that he can't block her on Slack or vice versa, which means they are in some of the same groups.
The fact that the victim deleted everything and hasn't come forward doesn't mean it didn't happen. In many cases, victims want to just move on and not discuss what happened publicly. Especially when the person who did it is a creepy motherfucker who calls women at 6 am to bully them into obeying his demands for their husbands.
And note how Elliot doesn't mention anything that happened between "she said yes" and "afterwards she focused on the fact I had dog hair on my clothing". A few points:
1. Someone can initially say yes to sexual activity. It's still rape if you don't stop when they want or you force them to do something they're uncomfortable with. He conveniently omits any details that might suggest this happened and emphasizes "SHE SAID YES AT FIRST" which is sus as hell
2. during and shortly after you undergo severe psychological trauma like sexual assault, it can be nearly impossible to coherently discuss and understand what just happened to you since you're still shook by it. Sometimes people focus on one small aspect of what happened because they haven't fully mentally processed the whole thing yet. And processing doesn't happen on the timeline of a few weeks. It can take years or decades.
3. It sounds like he's focusing on the dog hair thing specifically because it makes her sound like she's having a ridiculous overreaction. Abusers and rapists love doing shit like this to discredit their victims.
4. In this one he sums up the events in a way that are meant to make them sound objective, as if he's some impartial journalist reporting on a crime based on hard evidence and not the person who did it. It's like a murderer saying "1. We got in a fight 2. She was found dead. 3. People are unfairly accusing me of killing her"
The whole thing is meant to make his victim sound like she's crazy and a liar. He can wrap it in a billion layers of faux groveling and woke jargon, but it's at its core the same lying-by-omission, manipulative, blame-shifting, narcissistic bullshit that every fucking rapist ever pulls when confronted about their transgressions.
And if you're reading this Elliot I hope the dilation hurts extra tonight. If you're his victim reading this go have a relaxing beverage and cheer up at the thought of his self inflicted misery.
ETA: I forgot the suicide baiting at the end makes this sort of a sly form of DARVO. He denies and minimizes ("consent accident"), couches his attack of the victim in woke language implying she's crazy, then reverses victim and offender by crying about how the allegations hurt his feelings so bad he'll commit suicide if you call him out on his bullshit.
Eat shit Elliot. You will never be a woman but you will always be a rapist.
