‘Pledge Not to Watch TVF Shows Anymore’: Twitter on Arunabh Kumar
The Viral Fever’s YouTube webseries like Barely Speaking With Arnub, Tripling and Pitchers had struck a chord with a large audience.
Twitter users are now lashing out at Arunabh Kumar, TVF’s founder, over accusations of sexual harassment made in an anonymous article published on Medium.com. Twitter’s (predictable) outrage seems to be stemming from the personal investment many had made through many hours of viewing TVF’s content.
Have people started uninstalling TVF app already because of Arunabh Kumar or that will start after some time ?

Schrodinger feminist - Making female character centric shoes and sexually abusing women at the same time. #arunabhkumar #tvf #bishtplease

Kumar’s response to the allegations, made in an interview to Mumbai Mirror, didn’t win him much support either.
All the people who wanted Arunabh to atleast respond to the situation, wasn't it better earlier?#ArunabhKumar #TVF pic.twitter.com/Ws31FkfCtv

Your work of place is not a place for the blatant expression of your libido. Period. #ArunabhKumar #tvf

A man is recklessly defending a woman's lack of safety at her workplace as his 'heterosexual' prerogative.

Shameful. #ArunabhKumar #TVF
I think Arunabh Kumar's statement to Mumbai Mirror shows arrogance and total indifference to the issue.

Did #ArunabhKumar just say, "If I find a woman sexy, I tell her that. What's wrong in that?" If you do that at work, it's harassment!

Allegations against Arunabh Kumar could very well be false. But how can TVF dismiss them without any investigation?
— Spaminder Bharti (@attomeybharti) March 13, 2017
But Twitter never has been a black-or-white sort of space, so there are plenty who also came out in support of an investigation to prove or disprove the allegations before dragging Kumar over the coals.
Allegations don't make it true.

It is innocent-until-proven-guilty.
Not guilty-until-proven-innocent.#ArunabhKumar @TheQtiyapaGuy
Let's get the truth out about Arunabh Kumar in the court of law, because it's really looking like a well-crafted smear campaign against TVF.

The sources of the allegations aren't declared. Sources might not be genuine. It can be innocent or guilty. So let's nt judge#ArunabhKumar
