Between downplaying the significance of what he did and discrediting the victim i cant tell whether his followers have a similar past or simply bend over to anyone that projects power. I can understand this coming from people in countries where the cult of personality is still alive but not in the western world.
Most people don't infantilize 13 year olds so much. Pubescent or not. And how do you know when Sam Altman began puberty?
How much I would hold against someone would depend on what they did to make amends.
Family denial is very common. And how would they know?
We can say we don't know if he did anything without bad arguments or reducing the accusations.
Was this diagnosed before he climbed into her bed when she was 4 y.o.? I'm no psychologist and I don't know what her own diagnosis involves but it seems that this diagnosis could be identifying a condition that resulted from abuse dealt by someone that she normally would trust.
Overall from what I have read the last few weeks Altman seems to be an unethical sleeze who decides how to proceed on everything based on an analysis of what he can get for himself - the perfect type of person who would abuse someone who he saw as being in a weaker position, like his little sister with no thought to how that would affect her later in life.
At 13 years old, he should've been mature enough to understand when he would be crossing a line but instead he was not taught clear boundary issues. Was it because of bad parenting where they set no boundaries because he was the oldest son or something cultural? I don't know but at any rate in my view there is no universe where he didn't know that he was doing something wrong. He went for personal satisfaction over everything else just like he does in his dealings today.
Pretty funny seeing all the downvotes I get on this thread. I am pretty sure in real life that I would not want to hang out or socialize with any of the enabling cowards who support someone who could do this to his little sister and who could walk through life with so few restraints on his own behavior. Pretty pathetic.
Definitely true where I'm from.
1 billion people have a history of mental illness. And post traumatic stress disorder is a common consequence of sexual abuse. Does she have a history of delusion?

Possibly due to her being 4 y.o. and being assaulted by someone in a position of trust, someone like her brother who clearly demonstrates the willingness to violate other people's trust as an adult. His actions today are probably a result of the absence of consequences for bad behavior earlier in life. He learned that he can do these things and get away with it so now he manipulates as a normal course of action.
These accusations are just another validation that the entire cancel culture thing is more about pushing politics than it is about punishing evil.
(I make no claim to veracity, how would I know).
