Ridiculing victims automatically empowers their abusers.
Silencing victims automatically empowers their abusers.
Demonizing victims automatically empowers their abusers.
Simply declaring “I do not support (the abuser’s name)” is not enough to validate that you do not support the abuser. If you choose to mock or curse victims, especially when they defend themselves, but choose not to call out their abusers, YOU AUTOMATICALLY SUPPORT THE ABUSERS! You especially strengthen the abusers when you speak more horribly and harshly of the victims than you do of the abusers.
To anyone who thinks that this statement is radical, you're a part of the reason why victims suffer.
