#yes this is abt the gabby case

[magnus-and-the-dragon]

i have this problem where i genuinely think discussing ‘real’ cases is a good way to explore and better understand our world, but also, the culture around True Crime is so fucking gross I can’t stand most of the content it creates

sorry to hear abt ur stepdad! obviously i'm not able to speak to ur personal experience but that sounds awful

i think two things can be true at once. yes we need more visibility for male abuse victims and if there's one thing i'm glad for when it comes to this case it's that there's more awareness about it. on the other hand u sound extremely dismissive of female abuse victims lol, the gabby petito case was literally a year ago and the cops had no trouble believing the man in that situation. obviously we still have work to do on both fronts. and again, this has literally popularized DARVO tactics for abusers, why are u feigning ignorance to the larger consequences of this case?

to the other anon who responded abt the msm point — cherrypicking inaccuracies from three articles doesn't negate my overall point. i guess my question is — how do u know this is promotion of a larger agenda and not simply a reporting of things as journalists see it? what separates ur rhetoric from anti vaxxers who say the same??? i'm not saying msm is perfect, far from it, but i'd love to see some concrete evidence that this is abt some sort of agenda instead of just conspiracies.

idk, this is what i don't like about the pro-depp camp. i say a judge approved her TRO, another ruled JD a wifebeater, and two other judges denied his appeal, and JD supporters will tell me the word of an unsequestered jury is more credible. i tell u that overwhelmingly DV experts have sided with AH, and u say that they're prone to bias and not equipped to evaluate the situation. then who is?? you? (and you may say you haven't passed judgments but you've posted pro-depp stuff in the past.) we're all prone to bias, that doesn't mean we shouldn't listen to experts, especially when they're all singing the same tune. if u think body language 'experts' (not something u can be an expert in anyway) or grifters or ur own judgment of the vibes is more reliable, you do you i guess !

And you are extremely condescending.

How exactly am I being dismissive of female abuse victims by saying that there's no tangible evidence that this one trial has changed how domestic violence cases are handled? Men are still significantly biased against, and sometimes both men AND women are shafted due to charges being pressed on the "victim's" behalf like in my parents' case. It's not feigning ignorance when I literally have not noticed what you claim to be a pressing issue for victims of abuse and future abuse trials.

As other anons have said, experts can be wrong. Experts are not at all immune to bias, including gender bias, and are still fallible human beings. I don't know why people elevate experts onto this heightened plane of existence when experts themselves often disagree amongst each-other. If your only basis for believing something is "oh an expert said so" then you're frankly an idiot with no ability to form your own conclusions.

Also, I readily admitted that mainstream media was generally biased towards Depp, while some outlets were biased towards Heard. I personally wasn't claiming a larger agenda, just pointing out that different individual people have their own agendas and biases and that most mainstream media outlets heavily curate and censor what can and cannot be posted onto their site.

I posted pro-Depp stuff, yes, because I side with Depp in this situation, because that's where the evidence pointed from my understanding. I never said I didn't pass judgment literally anywhere. I just said that I didn't care about Depp or Heard as people, because how could I when I literally do not know them?

And for that matter, my judgment isn't "the vibes", it's the literal proof present in the trial which I mostly observed from afar. And if you don't mind I'm done with your condescending shit. I'm an abuse victim AND have experienced misogyny as a trans man. I don't know why you don't think I don't care about female victims of abuse when I fucking technically am one, and so is my mother, and so is my mother's mother. And for that matter, the majority of my abuse was at the hands of women LIKE Amber Heard who were extremely manipulative and emotionally abusive. Dragging on a frankly upsetting conversation just to come off as morally superior is just sad.

Please go bother someone else.
