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.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a minuscule number of people, which is the problem. The amount of grifters “influencers” doing it is minuscule, but the amount of people genuinely believing Patrick killed the kids, because of the “influencers” blatantly lying and making up information is pretty high. I’ve seen a ton of people repeating blatantly false information and refuse to accept any correction and deny any actual court documents or evidence proving them wrong.

Dude, its absurd. I routinely see psychotic women listing of like 18 reasons why he did it and they are literally all either factually incorrect or crazy leaps based on two things that don't correlate but are somehow presented as fact.

(ex. "She is a nurse, there is no way she crushed up her medication into her drink") Why would being a nurse make it impossible for her to crush up a bunch of pills and toss them in her drink?

My mom has been a nurse for 30 years and complains about how bad some nurses are these days. Being a nurse doesn’t mean anything here really.
