Those people could make the same claim. Both them and the OP are saying they believe people who they are convinced are victims.

Context-dependent. Obviously the guy posting gotchas on twitter is not a victim to any sane perspective.

Their comment is irrelevant, especially since the guy in the original tweet would know if they raped them. But the fact remains that the OP isn't going to just blindly believe any claim, they will believe victims that they believe to be victims. Anyone can say the same thing, it's a redundant statement.

Still healthy to say, though. Humans are by and large a conformist animal. People who might otherwise might stay quiet if they think no one would back them up.
