Hey i just wanted to say the two month ban for this seemed unwarranted.
Understand that likely you were banned for the series of posts preceding this one and it was just the one that tipped it over the edge.
Also note that this was before the "secret degree" and the cascade of lies came to the forefront, and that the article in particular you were focused on was incorporating the typical arguments used to dismiss people reporting abuse by comparing it to other "model" victims of abuse and questioning why they can't be as helpful or consistent as them.
Arguing that she should've mentioned it a year ago, why couldn't she when other abuse victims were willing to speak up about their abusers, etc. Arguing that it's weird that she would respond positively (and publicly) to things Biden is doing, shouldn't she just hate everything he ever does ever because she was abused by him? Why is she giving inconsistent testimony to what happens, shouldn't abuse victims have a perfect and infallible memory of the events that they clearly do not want to have to remember all the time?
People process and handle abuse and trauma in their own, unique ways. Trying to judge them all by the same metric and then concluding she might be lying because she's not fitting your perfect definition of how a victim should act is very much downplaying sexual assault victims. It's used time and time again to dismiss allegations because they "can't get their story straight" without wanting to understand why it can be difficult for victims to recall events exactly as they happened, or the reasons behind why they happened.
This was explained to you literally right after you posted that initial article. People laid it out for you there on why an abuse victim may be inconsistent in their recollections of events and how those do not inherently represent dishonestly from the abused, but you kept harping that they must mean something.
In short, there's a solid chance Tara lied about these allegations because of information discovered later, but you came to that conclusion beforehand specifically from the angle and arguments that are typically used to dismiss abuse victims, and you were (likely) banned for it.
