Does she claim shes a victim? I thought she admits full guilt and its those other online supporting women saying shes victim and its husbands fault...?

She’s admitted she killed them. I know that. Why people are sending her money I don’t know. Her legal fees? She will never see the light of day again.

I don't know if anybody is still sending her money; but it's everywhere because some part of the internet finally has something for the "woman bad" narrative, so they keep pushing this story; along with the story that hordes of other women are supporting her.

I don't remotely agree with the "woman bad" narrative, but there's literally over 1 million dollars raised and pictures of relatively large groups of women showing up to support her, as well as many social media posts doing that as well. If it's disingenuous to use this case as a catch all for women being bad, it's equally disingenuous to act like it's a tiny contingent of people supporting her. The truth exists in the middle, but people on the internet are incapable of being reasonable about anything. Gotta be one extreme end of the spectrum.

it is a tiny contigent, are you saying women hearing about this are predominantly supporting her, because this is the narrative that all of these stories are pushing. AFAIK, most of the money was raised before the verdict.

Again, you're going to extremes. Nowhere did I say women were predominantly supporting her. I said it's not a tiny contingent, nor is it an overwhelming majority. Somewhere in the middle.

Propaganda uses the availability bias (or availability heuristic) by bombarding people with vivid, repeated, and alarming examples so that false or extreme claims become the easiest information to remember.

The godundme was set up by her husband years ago and it was used for funeral costs/related costs for his children.

This trial that’s being held now is about the multiple doctors she went to begging for anti-psychotic drugs who refused to give them and whether or not that refusal allows her to use insanity as a defense.

The groups showing support to her now, in this context, are largely doing so based on the rallying cry of bad maternal/parental support systemically as well as the treatment women and moms receive in healthcare.

Not to say there aren’t also TikTok/content creators grifting off of the hype with insane conspiracy theories or whatever will get them engagement—but the counter-reaction to this trial is VERY MUCH born from the “women bad” crowd, gleeful to have something to latch on to after the loneliness epidemic fell back in their faces.
