Doxxed victim is scared to talk in public? You don’t say…

While American prisons sound absolutely awful, I can’t imagine what a Romanian prison will be like for the Tates.
But I can hope.

These sickos aren’t even getting their emotional abuse tactics right. The “good cop / bad cop” routine involves two different people working together to pressure someone to cooperate, it’s not something one abuser can do by themselves. (Not the time for jokes about Liam Neeson’s Lego character).

After Elon Musk bought it, I used to go the twitter website without an account or cookies and see what it put on the front page. Tate’s tweets often appeared, even after he had been arrested. It’s fucked up how his shit is main stream normalised.

I’m surprised that some of these guys didn’t wake up tied to their beds; drenched in gasoline.

Or not wake up. That’s also fine.

Actually though unstable extremes are a common tactic abusers use though. Keeps the victim confused and unsure and paralyzed a little longer, particularly if you’re using a lot of emotional manipulation. Combined with gaslighting it’s really effective. It sucks to experience this but I will 100% confirm this is a real way people behave to fuck with the heads of victims.

Sure, but is it still called “good cop / bad cop” when it’s one person doing it?

When you’re a narcissist you get to cast yourself in both roles so yeah… to me not that big of a deal to see the same idea in there besides he’s talking to some one with the intention of ganging up on this victim so yeah… don’t see how it doesn’t apply really ymmv but it kind of reads the same either way to me somehow. He’s basically just talking about playing different parts to destroy a human life though so I dunno how much I’m worried about the accuracy of his diction. I just think it’s worth pointing out that whatever the right thing to call this kind of abuse is… it’s very real, very effective, and very insidious.

“I almost sound evil” Almost had a moment of realization there, before it was buried under a mountain of denialism.
If you are doing all the shit evil people do, no matter your reasoning, that doesn’t make you sound evil. That makes you evil, full stop.

I’m sure the prosecutors will find a way to use that as a teachable moment even if he didn’t.

Yes, doxxed victim who’s “broke” “can’t go home. And she can’t leave the house.” No coercion there.

Tate was one of the people Musk paid as part of launching his advertising incentive scheme (which is probably a scam in and of itself but that’s for a different thread), and everyone who got that payout was personally chosen by Musk. It’s not even that his shit is mainstream normalised, it’s approved of.

The thing that’s worse than a pimp is a pimp who talked himself into thinking he’s being ‘ethical’.

Men and boys. As I understand it, he’s most popular among teens and preteens. Which is a huge problem

Little boys. apparently he’s really popular with little boys and teens. While everyone is panicked about kitty litter the real groomers are making the most violent and ugly aspects of misogyny reach the next generation as early as possible.
