Unrelated, your name made me chuckle, thanks for the smile.
To the point, I’ve noticed that too, it’s so overwhelmingly obvious that none of the support she’s getting is authentic, it’s clear people are using this for their or culture war nonsense and it’s concerning as the precedent this case could set can have some serious consequences.
It feels like a lot of people aren’t taking this seriously, the arguments/discussions people are trying to make around this can snowball into something disastrous.

My wife started getting into it from Instagram crap and was talking about how it’s possible if not likely the husband actually did it.
I took 5 minutes to find she’s not even saying she didn’t do it and that still doesn’t matter to her.
I do not fucking get it, and was accused of being misogynistic for not thinking it was possible the husband did it.
I can’t even with social media

I live in the exact same scenario and have had at least two heated arguments with my wife about it. I guess it’s a mix of loss of trust in official sources, (quite reasonable) misandry, love for the drama… And in all of this, I still believe Clancy should get the insanity plea. There was a case in the country where I live that happened about twenty years ago, and the poor woman who ended up in jail is still used as the butt of the joke of memes about hating kids.

Yeah there’s no doubt the medical system failed her spectacularly and she should get the insanity plea IMO.
But then social media makes it a woman vs man thing instead of focusing on how it exemplifies how fucking horrible our medical system is.
Gets my conspiracy brain going a little on that one lol.

I honestly don’t get how so any people feel they have a leg in this race.
Personally haven’t been on any of the major platforms for years, but as an outsider looking in, I blame social media. It openly encourages this kind of mob behavior and amplifes the most insane voices with reckless abandon.

Absolutely agree, I got off all social media except Reddit and then Lemmy when I realized how it was being used and the enshittification of course.
