The rise in accusation culture and mental illness


I saw this on my Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/BadLionGold/status/1387458179823390724

I did not know if she was referencing something that just happened or a past event. I initially thought she was trying to say it just happened, but changed my mind. I think she's talking about a supposed past event, but I'm not sure it matters.

Many things jumped out at me.

While it's entirely possibly this woman was beat up by a cop, what are the odds that very same night she is "assaulted" by a nurse? The same night? Come on. It just seems like this woman has a habit of claiming assault. Because I don't know if you noticed, when she references her "CPTSD", she's referring to ANOTHER incident. The episode with the cop - whatever that was - upset her and triggered some kind of response. She was then taken a hospital where a nurse proceeded to assault her too.

It just seems like she - and many other young women in today's society - claim assault at the drop of a hat. It's their default, their go to. They all have "PTSD" or "trauma". There's sooo many women in the teen-30s age range like this right now. It's ALL OVER social media. And people just believe this stuff no questions asked. THIS is why people are skeptical. Not because it's unfathomable scumbags hurt women, just how easily, freely, and often the accusations are tossed around.

I'm not saying no one ever hurt this person, but I do raise my eyebrow every time an interaction with people turns into an "assault" claim. Maybe some prick beat her up years ago and it's ruined her. Ever time someone touches her even a little, she freaks out. Or maybe she's making them ALL up. But I have a hard time believing that while having some kind of flashback from some past incident, she was assaulted by both a cop and then a nurse. I can see how some dick cop would interpret a mental health issue as resisting and rough her up - and if that happened I hope his ass gets nailed to a wall. But then the nurse roughed her up too? Come on.

Any and all people who hurt women - who hurt anyone - should be punished to the maximum degree. Rape and assaulting women is the lowest of the low. Personally, I think rapists should get life. But there's just so much of this accusation stuff - without any evidence whatsoever - being tossed around so freely that it does not come off as credibly at all.

she couldn't even post her stupid pictures without applying filters to them

I almost pointed that out, but didn't want to be accused of bringing it up. It DOES say something imo. This woman was traumatized and wanted to share her experience, but made the effort to filter her pics? Ok...

Remember the babies that were raped at the super dome during Katrina? Didn’t happen.

Remember Jesse Smollet? Didn’t happen.

Remember Trump/Russia collusion? Didn’t happen.

Remember Russia bounties on our soldiers? Didn’t happen.

Why not make it up. It pays big rewards.
