Whats something youve been unfairly blamed for?

When I was like 8 years old my friend's mom told my mom that I gave her the middle finger, which was a lie, and got me punished so I couldn't go to my other friend's birthday party at the water park and I still haven't forgiven that bitch. I will get my revenge in this life or the next.
I seem to attract a lot of impersonation-based blame (which often mixes with other things that are unfairly attributed to me or the other person, which there is a lot of) even though I prove otherwise every time.
- Ha! I also had someone accuse me of being an alt account of someone else the other day. And the impression that I got from that accusation was that it was a case of "you're not falling in line and following the script and you're saying something unpopular, therefore you must be a bot / troll." And I've definitely seen people around here accusing others of being alts in various comment sections too. To the point where I'm going to just stop taking it seriously.
  At this point, I don't care what the cliquey in crowd around here says or dictates. I'll make up my own mind. I'm sick of both the internal politics and a lot of these grumbly neckbeards around here too.
  
  For the person you replied to, there are high suspicions of them using alts, as reported by a lot of different people: https://lemmy.ca/post/45034828
- Hey, remember when you said Elon's Nazi salute "has been debunked though" and you defended Kiwifarms as a "free speech" platform after you got outed as a member? Cause we do.
  
  You say that as if you aren't brand new to the community, going by your date. From someone who isn't new to someone who is, I would like to clarify that he himself has said that how you describe him and his gesture (which also evokes other issues) doesn't match his intent behind the gesture, which is what I meant by that word and is the ruling that the ADL and every fact-checker rests on, though I wish to respect rule 5 here.
  As for the other thing, what would it say about your accusation if it was revealed that the only reason I have joined any questionable groups this year is that my own marginalized friends were concerned about what others conspire about them and said they needed someone on the inside to act as a buffer? I have friends who I would walk through Hell for. Given what I'm saying, what do you think I'm doing?
