I was making fun of the crisis actor theory, which is a ludicrous and misogynist theory that should be made fun of.
Specifically, a crisis actor theory that Warbler irresponsibly put forward. I say irresponsible because it minimizes and insults these women and any women (and any men) who are survivors of sexual assault, and it disgusted me to read his comments. That’s why I posted what I did. Hopefully there are no survivors among us (either members or lurkers) who had to read that nonsense. But apparently we’re no better than Alex Jones here, who put forward the same theory about the Sandy Hook children. No one who bothered to watch the emotion those women displayed should be able to even question their sincerity. Might as well question if Dr. Ford is also an actor.
I’m sure there are victims that read that nonsense. In fact, it’s almost statistically impossible that of the hundreds of people that read this site, no one is a survivor. I’m also really glad you brought up the Sandy Hook comparison. That’s actually what I was going to compare it to. So I guess I’m not glad that you brought it up because you stole my thunder.
I could have phrased my disgust more specifically the first time, or more civilly if you prefer, but I stand by the sentiment.
I don’t think that ideas like crisis actors pretending to be rape victims (or crisis actors pretending to be mass-shooting survivors), Sandy Hook trutherism, 9/11 was a controlled demolition, Pizzagate, Satanist daycares, Q-Anon, Hurricane Maria’s death toll being a fabrication, climate change is a hoax, or countless other imbecilic and insulting conspiracies should ever be given a dignified response. I think that it would’ve been irresponsible of you to not ridicule such a revolting theory, because if you had just done what everyone suggested, which is legitimize it as though it’s a reasonable point of view, then it would be a disservice to everyone involved in the conversation and everyone that relates to the issue. Good on you.
