I've never been at a party where I suspected that there was an individual rape happening, much less a gang rape. Had I been, the situation would not have continued.

But I can spot when a second-stringer like Avenatti is trying to manipulate me into believing this affidavit is proof of something much worse. And I have to wonder why he is doing that. My suspicion is because he is a massive asshole and publicity whore.

This is you trying to find a way to dismiss what an alleged victim has said, going so far as to focus on someone other than her. When we say "rape culture" we mean this, among other things.
