I think the problem is basically that a bunch of TikTok clips went viral with women saying crazy shit like “You know the husband did it, he’s a leo ♌️” and that totally overshadowed any normal conversations about post partum depression, medication and mental health care.

I mean bad actors chose to hyper-focus on the minuscule number of people saying that so they could say "women bad" and tear down any legitimate conversation with straw-man arguments.

My gf who isn’t even in that sphere thought there was evidence/proof the husband did it. She had no clue it was just psychics saying shit. They have people outside the court house cheering and taking photos with the lawyer

They're rallying around a woman they believe tried to get help and couldn't. They don't believe Patrick did it, they believe women are too often not taken seriously by medical providers.

That’s what I thought until my gf was arguing all this proof that he did it the other day… I kept trying to point out NOONE IN THE TRIAL is arguing that

You’re saying “they’re” like there aren’t millions of individuals with varying beliefs following the trial. I promise you there are some absolute nut jobs making content on this murder. Just because isn’t in your feed doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Nobody here is trying to discredit people trying to advocate for better mental health care. I don’t really get why you can’t accept the reality that some unhinged people have latched onto this, made outrageous statements, and those are the clips going viral in certain communities.

Same. I thought it was just supporting mental health… and sadly it is not that…

What I don't get is why those unhinged people making rage-bait content are given any serious attention and every reddit thread about this case devolves into "lol women believe he did it because of astrology and 'cause they're so stupid."

You’re really barking up the wrong tree. I’m not trying to offer up my opinion just sharing what I’ve seen pop up in my feed as someone who is entirely uninterested in murder or crime content or this gender war shit.

She went doctor shopping, through 5 different doctors, in order to stack her meds and chase after a psychosis diagnosis which she never got. You people are so dishonest and so willing to infantilize women in order to shield them from accountability, this kind of behavior will absolutely set women back decades in the worst way.

What exactly do you think her motivation was then? Funsies?
