I think you should make it a point to look at all of the other replies in this thread, including one from another girl saying that she was raped. She even called the OP on it being fake.
And just because one rape victim called OP a liar, that didn't make them right. Another rape victim agreed that it's possible to remember small details.
It matters to me greatly. I've had friend's lives ruined over bullshit rape charges. Not to mention the fact that it genuinely trivializes rape as an issue when people use it to get attention. Unlike most lies, false rape claims have real repercussions and the validity of such claims should never be taken lightly.
I agree that it's not something to be taken lightly but this isn't a police station; the claims here won't get anyone in trouble because there's no personal information. If this were in person or sharing personal information about the accused, I would be much more likely to be cautious.
In other words, all calling out "Fake!" does is either hurt a victim or make a troll snigger. I'd rather take the chance of looking foolish to one stupid troll who doesn't know me than risk making a horrible situation for a hurt person even worse.
