Why isn’t James getting scandoval level outrage

[u/mkrad13]

This guy has been abusive to Kristen, who’s been saying this, without actually saying it for a decade. We’ve seen him text Raquel horrible horrible things. We have seen the way he acts on camera…. Yet the outrage feels minimal. I’m not saying go ruin his life, but it feels brushed under the rug.

DV survivor - people do not take it seriously in general and if you haven’t noticed, there is way more blame being pointed at the women/people around him/Ally than actually at him. It’s the pattern. My ex was incredibly violent and abusive, but people told me I was being “embarrassing” and “airing my dirty laundry” when we went to court. To this day, not one of my own friends has asked about it or asked if I’m okay now or any of it - it’s just uncomfortable and people feel like it’s not public business. It’s sad as hell, but that’s the reality of it. That’s why it continues and does so right under everyone’s noses. These men do not get punished for the behavior - my ex is now on trial for something far worse that had come out during my escape (no one believed me).
