    It was incredibly disturbing, Vaush fans were making posts about abuse by family members or ex's and projecting that onto Mel for again, supposedly having manipulated her voice in a debate to get people over to her side, which is the mildest fucking tactic you could have in a debate bro setting like holy shit.

      Weaponising abuse terminology is genuinely one of the things I've seen online that actually makes my blood boil. It's almost always done to make the victim look like the "real" abuser too.

      Doubly so when it involves trans people just because of the common framing of their existence somehow being an invasion of women's spaces, or somehow "teaming up" with men to avoid abuse. Their very existence is treated as a form of abuse.

      Damn, someone's voice changed when someone callously mocks their country being destroyed. What an abuser.
