while I agree with the idea that its being used as "caught" or "busted" "#Me Too" has a specific context that is tied to victims of sexual assault/harassment.

It's be like if people started saying "Oh yeah, officer Johnson was Black Lives Matter'd for being accused of shooting that kid last month...thank god there were no cameras"
