This is the direct consequence of not believing Amber Heard. It makes it easy to begin poking holes in the stories of other victims, changing the narratives around domestic violence and discrediting women. This idea of "mutual abuse" is extremely harmful and needs to be debunked on a massive scale.

Abuse requires an unequal power dynamic. It occurs when one partner wields power over the other, typically social, economic, or physical. For this reason men are much more likely to abuse women. There ARE male victims of abuse but most of them were abused by other men, and a tiny percentage were abused by women who held positions of power over them (e.g. an older woman with a much younger man). Mutual abuse is a MYTH, it does not exist and is frequently used against victims of abuse to discredit their story. Reactive abuse occurs when the victim begins to fight back against their abuser, but this is not equivalent to abuse, it is self defence. Victims are more likely to admit to using violence than abusers, who are less likely to take accountability for their aggression.

Abusers will employ a technique called DARVO: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. They begin to accuse the victim of being the abusive one and position themselves as the victim. If police misread this situation it can be fatal- police arrived at the home of Gabby Petito and her boyfriend to find a hysterical woman and a calm man with scratches on his arm. They arrested her. A short while later, she was found dead. He killed her.

This is the direct consequence of not believing women and not understanding how domestic violence functions. Famous women who have been abused are becoming the scapegoats in changing the narratives around domestic violence and making it socially acceptable to blame the victim.

I think people need to understand that part of living a healthy life is having different people who understand different parts of you, so that you don't overwhelm your friends and expect too much of them, or ignore valuable relationships because they feel "incomplete".

We all want to be fully seen and understood, but it's not shallow or meaningless to just have a pal you talk about TV shows with who isn't also, like, your platonic soulmate. That's still your friend! You still enhance each other's lives with your company. Not everything that matters is profound.

I think a lot of you are lonely because you're waiting around for someone who sees into your soul instead of just plain old lookin' at the people in your life, finding common ground, and planting a little garden there. Even if that garden only grows Star Trek fan theories and memes, it's still good.

It just... makes me real sad that you guys can't imagine a friendship where you don't talk about sex and trauma constantly, or that you think these are prerequisites for "real" friendship. Like, it legitimately breaks my heart.

listen I’m so glad you all are having fun with the dragon incest show, but I need you to understand that from the outside all I see is approximately 14 posts per day of people in truly horrific wigs with captions like “baegael did nothing wrong except all the murders”
