    Speaking from general life experience, a lot of those fans are potential victims of the same treatment themselves minors/women

    So if you have a child or friend that speaks like that, it is a red flag to pay closer attention to the people they build relationships with and their behavior. I’m not talking about protecting kids from drugs and sex, I mean protect them predators and abuse.

      True. I have a lot of friends who dated abusers AFTER they abused someone else, and parrotted the “his ex was a psycho and made it all up” line.

      Sometimes the ex is a psycho, but like 99% of the time they aren’t.
