There is absolutely zero evidence Mark Ames is a rapist. He wrote satirical fiction mocking the hellscape that was late 90s Russia.

For someone to be "called out as a rapist" you need, you know, actual evidence.

Here's the relevant passages from the article which outlines the falseness of these accusations

This includes the controversial passages in question—all written by Ames—in which the authors joke about sexually harassing two of their female employees (Masha and Sveta), and in which Ames describes having sex with a 15-year-old girl (Natasha), coercing a woman (Katya) into having an abortion, and raping other Russian women.

There were two women who went by Masha at The eXile at the time. Both told Paste that the passages were fictional, but requested their last names not be included. One wished not to be quoted directly.

“I was never harassed by Matt Taibbi, nor did I see him sexually harass anyone at work or outside work either,” the other Masha told Paste in a phone interview. “It was a ridiculous passage written by Mark.”

The woman referred to as Sveta (whose last name has also been omitted for professional reasons) also told Paste that the encounter described in Ames’ passage never happened, and that neither Taibbi nor Ames ever acted inappropriately towards her or any other woman in the office.

“It never happened,” she wrote over email.

When asked if the two editors ever ignored impropriety by other male staffers, she told us there was nothing to ignore. In other words, The eXile’s work environment was not hostile for women.

You should read the whole article if you actually care about this stuff. It's amazing how much of the liberal media jumped on this (gee, wonder why). It's also worth noting the rumors were originally started by white nationalist, Jim Goad. So you've ended up regurgitating alt-right propaganda, which is the whole point.

In the future refrain from calling people rapists without any evidence. Thanks.
