A guilty until proven innocent attitude within society is what breeds fertile ground for abusers. If you can make up whatever shit you want about someone and be believed with no evidence, then abusers will simply accuse their victims as a method of violence and control. If you want to attack abusers and not victims, you need a commitment to the truth.

Look at Depp and Heard. Near as I can tell, they're both abusers, and they're both dragging each other's names through the mud because that's how abusers do violence. They're using public opinion as a weapon of abuse. That's why public opinion must be made resistant to weaponisation without due cause.
