“Fights I’m Tired of Having” Friday
Sometimes it feels like playing Whac-A-Mole with misconceptions that keep popping up (and I keep letting myself get dragged into arguments about them). Here are a few that are driving me bonkers, please add your own, particularly if you’ve noticed new incorrect talking points that are suddenly and mysteriously everywhere.
The birth video. The story has not changed: since the CRD, BL has always made clear that she THOUGHT the video of a nude woman was porn so she stopped JH, and then he told her it was his wife’s birth video. She never called birth porn. There’s also confusion over when and why he showed her the video, but it’s clear in all accounts she did not ask to see it.
The subpoena. I’m seeing a lot of people now claiming BL changed her story and said she “thought” there was a subpoena m but that’s easily proven false. The FAC still says the texts were from a subpoena.
This is a more niche one but it makes me lose it every time: the idea that JB is not white. He is white. He’s actually spoken or written about his white privilege.
In conclusion: Aaaaaaagh.
