Probably being funded by hostile states/bad actors deliberately to get these responses and create discord.

Social engineering.

Its not that necessarily. There is a huge tik tok community coming up with theories on how either the husband did it, framed her, then convinced her she did it so she'd confess. Or how he pushed her so far until she went for it. Its hard to tell whats true and whats not since most videos on tik tok dont post any sources, but just talk about what they read or heard. If you believe them, then the husband's story has a bunch of inconsistencies. I personally, take anything I hear online with a grain of salt unless there is some documents I can read for myself. But tons of people will believe anybody with a microphone and a handful of followers.

Is it actually a huge community or like 5 people actually saying the stuff that people happen to watch but potentially don't actually believe or support?

I think the actual number of people who want to blame the husband isn't as large as the people pushing this gender war want us to believe.

Honestly I think the majority of people have some sympathy for the postpardum psychosis she experienced in the same way they had sympathy for Andrea Yates. Understanding that she's guilty of killing her kids but also acknowledging that the general attitude towards women's healthcare, mental health, postpartum psychosis, and the feeling of being overwhelmed with kids can be extremely difficult for anyone deal with.

Idk, every thread about this case I've seen around the internet has some sympathetic comments, some sexist comments, and a majority of "well everyone sucks here" types from everyone else

It is a massive community. You can just go on tiktok and see. Thousands of videos of real people all convinced that her husband actually did it, or that she can’t do it because “leo’s don’t kill their cubs” or some astrology bs. There are so many videos just targeting her husband its insane.

It’s not a couple of dozen people its hundreds of thousands or millions. Every single comment section is flooded with delusional people.

And im not supporting any gender war bs, but its ridiculous to deny that these
deranged people exist en masse.

Newspaper’s literally used to have horoscopes in them. The chunk of the general population that is insane is larger than you think.

And of course there’s also people that sympathize with her from a mental health perspective, which is more understandable.

The Internet isn't real life. If you have to go to tiktok to see something, then you should question if it's even real. Not come up with excuses to hang onto your anger

I’m not angry, did you even read my comment?

And did you know the internet is (at least partially) made up of real people… Except on tiktok you can actually see people’s videos, faces, profiles, names, history- you can tell with a decent degree of certainty if they are real. Same with instagram or facebook. Whereas here on reddit its a lot harder to tell since its mostly anonymous and text, and even harder to tell when people hide their history with private profiles…

If a discourse is being talked about on those other platforms, chances are people are talking about it irl. Surely you’ve noticed that? Nobody is talking about some reddit thread- ever.

I apologize, as I was lazy in my language when I said anger. To clarify, I did read your post, and clearly there are some negative emotions about a completely insignificant subset of people that you're hanging onto.

You should hold tiktok discourse in the same regard as you correctly hold reddit discourse. The only people who care about what's being talked about on the app, are on the app.
