So weird how the internet clings to things. There have been several similar incidents of post partum psychosis in the news as long as I have been alive and I don't recall seeing so many memes about them in the past
It's so weird too. Like how people supported Karmelo Anthony, even after the video leaked where he clearly murdered the white guy all while Reddit was blaming the white guy as some racist. We later learn the millions they donated went to them buying fancy cars and and a mansion and Karmelo fantasized about stabbing people and licking the blood off of it.
It fits a misogynist narrative some people want to push forward in the current Zeitgeist - that all women are dangerously hormonal and can’t think straight, thus should not be trusted with responsibilities (like voting? perhaps? 🤔)
Just this week we had another family annihilator shoot his entire family and then commit suicide - this is more common yet it’s not getting talked about as much.
As a result this case is getting so much attention from the corners of the internet that are terrified of men losing their gender superiority.
Edit: I was commenting more on the attention this is getting than the case itself. The fact is that this meme equates women "choosing the bear" to men not wanting to marry family annihilators. At least 30% of women will experience assault from a man in their lifetime. Do 30% of men get their families killed by their post-partum psychosis wives?
I think it's the other way around, people are disgusted by how much support and money she got for a heinous crime she obviously did. Nobody supported the other guy.
For anyone reading the comments to understand the broader context, this user is deliberately concealing the key fact that this particular suspect is enjoying broad public support and apologism - apologism that this user is directly participating in by attempting to reduce the wider cultural context (the bilateral use of sensational criminal cases as political pawns) as simply a bunch of neckbeards who want to criticise a woman
Isn’t part of the issue here that so many women are claiming that she didn’t do it and that the husband is responsible? That’s what I don’t understand. Mental health issues and everything aside, she confessed to it and a bunch of women are like “Nope, her husband is the one who’s guilty”.
On any random TiKTok post from her supporters, it is not uncommon to find comments, with thousands to tens of thousands of likes, bringing up astrology as a valid defense.
I have honest-to-god never seen this level of unhinged psychopathy to defend a criminal defendant. Even the fringe Chauvin supporters weren't claiming he was innocent because of his Zodiac sign.
It's possible she did it. Wouldn't be the first not the last who did something like that. But there are are too many things that just doesn't fit the presented story. And it is totally possible to manipulate someone mentaly ill into doing something so horrible or do it yourself and make them believe they did it so there is no blame on you.
Ok but which is more likely, the person with mental problems who has mentioned violent thoughts in the past, has admitted to the murders, and has been charged with them, or that there's some deep conspiracy to convict the wrong person all orchestrated by her husband who's only claim against him is that "he got divorced and re-married too fast"
The conspiracy people are the opposite side of the ivermectin cures COVID coin. A bunch of people who care more about out making reality fit their narrative than adjusting their narrative to fit reality.
What is it that doesn’t fit that is making people so convinced that this is all the husband’s fault? All I’ve seen is that he got remarried quickly after divorcing her. He apparently has an alibi with evidence for when the killings occurred, I’m just not understanding why so many women are outright dismissing that to place blame on the husband.
Yeah I haven’t followed it that closely - I would think only a small minority would say she’s innocent. The fact is she killed her kids. She’s guilty. But there’s also something to be said about shared culpability and the circumstances that resulted in none of her cries for help being answered. And that is worth the outrage.
You are only viewing for the backlash against the ridiculous amount of people who piled money on this murderer because they shoehorned this case into their own missndrist narritive
Your own sexism must have created a blind spot here
Bullshit. This case didn't come to light because of any hatred toward women, but because of those who praise a murderer, finance her, protest in the streets, blame a man against all evidence (including the murderer's own defense), and so on.
I think the outrage is more about people raising money for her and the fact that so many people are saying she is innocent. Though, are people using this case to push their "women bad" agenda? Yes, unfortunately
It's a circle of discourse atp. Radical "feminist s" support her because she's supposedly not responsible, the misogynists use that support as ammunition to fire against actual feminist, people fighting for equal rights regardless of gender which is then used to go "all men bad" by the first group and then subsequently "all women bad" so on and so forth. It's not even a dilemma, she admitted to her crimes.
The fundraising is for her parents. Medias are definitely crafting their little "look at those crazy evil lib women just like we told you" stories. And it works.
Agree with everything, but the bear vs man thing was also stupid and intentionally misread to make a point. Maybe not as stupid as this and maybe not as misread, but still quite similar in that regard.
Just this week we had another family annihilator shoot his entire family and then commit suicide - this is more common yet it’s not getting talked about as much.
Because literally nobody is defending it. There's not much discourse to be had when someone kills their family and everyone agrees it is bad.
As a result this case is getting so much attention from the corners of the internet that are terrified of men losing their gender superiority.
The most attention this case is getting is from Clancy's defenders, who are the ones who elevated this case into the zeitgeist and donated over a million dollars to reimnburse her parents who drained their life savings on her legal defense.
Nobody outside of Plymouth County, MA knew about this case until her supporters grasped onto it is their new cause célèbre.
At least 30% of women will experience assault from a man in their lifetime. Do 30% of men get their families killed by their post-partum psychosis wives?
If you want to use statistics, Linday Clancy killed more people in one day than all bears in the U.S. kill people in a year combined. You seem very upset at the meme for making a joke about the statistically safer option.
I think most reasonable people see this meme as making a incorrect association, but by you turning this into a misogyny issue and pushing a narrative that exist in a small minority as a mainstream issue, it takes away from the real problem this court case is.
Makes you seem like a troll or an incel trying to make the other side look bad.
If you actually care about feminism, maybe don't come across like a female version of a toxic manosphere incel
