Nice demonizing of survivors based on some shit you read once and gave no further thought to

“Hurt people hurt people” is a common saying for a reason; dealing with trauma is difficult and not dealing with it often leads to problems.
That’s not to say that victims always become victimizers, it’s to say that the cycle of violence often begins with violence.DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
Oh wow, common sayings, the bastion of fact.

According to domestic violence expert Lundy Bancroft, it’s about 50/50. So as far as we know, there is no correlation.

I didn’t suggest that people who are abused tend to go down this path, I’m saying of those that abuse others, they themselves were likely abused.
I don’t know the percentage, but hypothetically if 2% of people abused go on to abuse others, this would be true without even saying anything about 98% of abused people.

I’m waiting for your statistics fam, as well as your explanation of why you think you should imply survivors are dangerous from them.

Yes and no. A lot of the allegations were found to be false.
