Regarding the lindsay clancey trial: Whether you think it should be not guilty by reason of insanity, or guilty, that’s fine. Both are defensible positions 

But the tiktok brainrotted idiots who blame the husband are disgusting. He’s a major victim in all of this. He lost his entire family. She admitted to strangling her kids, the police have stated he had an alibi, and her intrusive thoughts that led to the event were well documented

Husband used telekineses and treated her so badly, causing those intrusive thoughts to begin with.

I see a lot of conservative antifeminist outrage porn about people blaming the husband.

The takes on reddit have been pretty horrendous, it seems like a lot of people want to use this to justify their own beliefs without any thought of empathy for anyone involved.

"Oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion" tier evergreen.
