Two, even if he had the self awareness to reflect upon it, how “coy” he was being.
First a vague reference that no one could possibly react to except to ask for details if they had their interest piqued.
Then a follow-up to make it more pointed, but still conspicuously omitting the actual meat of the situation. Seemingly calibrated to try to elicit engagement after the first attempt failed
Finally sharing the meat of the situation only after a little engagement and direct question
He’s not admitting shit, he’s trying to gain sympathy and comfort from his friends, family, strangers, anyone! I wonder what his kids think of him after this?
You’d be surprised how many abusers will tell on themselves thinking they are sharing a story about how something unfair was said to them. Then they give you the backstory as they relay it to a friend where they think it’s a safe space. A lot of assholes will still staunchly think they are in the right. Sadly a lot of their friends will join in on a toxic journey with them too. YouTube comments are pretty rife with these cliques.
Yup. I used to follow a YouTube channel run by a couple, then they had a harsh breakup and she left the channel. Some time later she comes forward with allegations of abuse against him, and I’m like “okay but this is just her side of the story, what if it’s all bullshit?”.
Then he addressed the allegations. The way he addressed them, to me, was exposing himself FAR more than anything she said. It was like watching a movie villain monologue. Really scary how skewed those people’s perceptions are.
Absolutely correct this post comes off as “This is the bad thing my wife said to me before she died and I’m too oblivious to realize it was my fault”. I’ve seen the same shit with couples looking for validation after a nasty breakup.
I’m 90% sure I was able to find the correct person the post belongs to. They’re listed as widowed. They live in/are from areas that you would stereotypically expect a person to be taking horse dewormer instead of getting vaccinated. His public comments are full of typical boomer humor memes, misogynistic gems like (copied right from his page) “ Just heard an interesting fact….25% of women are being treated for mental illness….that means 75% are running around untreated 🤣🤣🤣”, guns, and more gems like this:
E: image didn’t upload. It was a side-by-side image of a muzzled dog and a woman wearing a large covid mask titled “obedience training”.
It has to be true because it’s on Facebook!
No antivaxxer is going to admit this in the open to anyone.
You’re giving them waaaay too much credit
But I’m not. Antivaxxers need to appear infallible. They can’t be seen being wing or to blame for anything.
There’s no way one would admit that a loved one blamed them for their death.
yea, seems far fetched to me too
If my wife told me I killed her I’d take that to the grave. A very early alcohol induced grave.
It’s just too weird.
One that he would bother to admit it.

Enter all of the people who have been shown they’ve been duped, and respond with “Why can’t you just let people enjoy things?”
Oh, right. This isn’t reddit.

And then everyone clapped…
