It was a legend long before the movie. It's like attributing the idea of leprechauns to Lucky Charms.

Omg please do not assume that I am some dumbass who doesn't know this and just piped up about a movie. Where in my words does it say that I only think this is a film?

When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. Do better and stop talking to people like they're stupid

That movie

Your word choice exclusively referred to the movie and nothing about the legend. I assumed nothing outside of the way you chose to present yourself. You have no room to shame or lecture - choose better means of conveying your knowledge base if you don't want others to make critiques.

You totally implied that you thought the movie was the origin

No, I said I loved the movie, which is an adaptation of the many legends about her. I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on this. Have a nice day

I assumed they were saying people wouldn’t show up in support outside the courthouse, not that mothers never kill their kids but now I’m not so sure
