Calling people lunatics is incredibly ableist and cruel. Esp considering strategic media coverage is not the same as proving an assault didn't happen. Sexual assault survivors are always watching. This harms all of us and emboldens rapists. https://twitter.com/humvadev/status/1345041622296387584
I wish people would stop pretending they are knowledgeable about sexual assault and leave it to the experts who aren't driven to create clickbait articles. It does so much damage letting ignorant journos and pundits dominate the discourse around sexual violence.
And insinuating that mental illness causes women to fabricate rape frame the people MOST LIKELY TO BE VICTIMIZED as more likely to be liars.

Not to mention that SV can cause mental illness.
This is all just very shitty and bad.

Ableism and rape culture are close fellows.
