- Nobody's seriously going to praise Rowling right now for anything. She sided with a man
accused of abusing a woman, she sided with a transphobe, she still has a problem with
LGBTQ representation, PoC representation, cultural appropriation. . . The list goes on and on.
- Except that when women lie about abuse, they're saying it's not happening, rather than that it
is happening, and they're doing it out of a desire to protect their abuser, even at the expense
of their own lives.
- Men *aren't* the victims of domestic violence, though. They're the *perpetrators*.<br>
- We have Heard's testimony, and that video of him getting drunk and being abusive toward
her.
- She wasn't, though. She sided with an abuser against his victim. She didn't do the right thing,
she engaged in victim blaming, much like this thread is doing now.
- Standing behind a wife beater is never the right thing to do.
- Where's the proof he was falsely accused? This video doesn't prove he didn't abuse her, only
that she at one point hit him.
