All it would have taken was “I messed up and I know I have to win back your trust but I am prepared to try to do that”. Instead he really went with DARVO. The reaction is itself disqualifying.

A playbook, from locals to federal. A sort of public policy DARVO.

There’s a crisis in America where no one takes responsibility for their own actions. It’s why the political/religious right is so poisoned but it’s also behind all the worst parts of the center and left.
People talk about bringing back shame, and yes that’d help, but we also need to reject DARVO.

Violation of first amendment rights in support of terrorist state of Israel.
Israel commits a genocide but anyone who says “stop committing genocide” is the terrorist?
Everyone needs to learn about DARVO and how to combat it

Vague “Leftists eat their own.” posts get big numbers bc folks can project whatever specific scenario from their own life onto them and feel like everyone else is approaching it just the same way. Even if it turns out OP is subposting DARVO to protect their abusive buddy (many such cases.)

All week I've been reminded of what happens when an abusive pastor is exposed. Their followers & peers will twist themselves into knots defending the indefensible. The pastors will play victim & DARVO those speaking out. No one is owed these positions of trust.
Platner has disqualified himself.

The phrase “concern trolling” drifted so far out of context that its become a way people soft pedal the most insidious form of abuse next to DARVO
And allowed the privileged members of marginalized groups a way to replicate dominance

The types of viral DARVO rhetoric that have been leveraged against celebrity women like Amber Heard are now being weaponized against everyday, working-class women who report sexual violence. And AI is helping accelerate these narratives. My latest dispatch from hell:

Very good thread on DARVO and common anti-trans talking points. I suspect a lot of people who follow me know most of this anyway, but I'd suggest bookmarking it so you can send it on to anyone who starts with the "but what about..." line

It's also DARVO and gaslighting. It very much is hateful. It always has been so. They BRAG about how much they want trans people to suffer, trans people are monsters, we're a "huge problem for a sane world."
They bathe in hate nightly and spew it from their pores every day.
They bathe in hate nightly and spew it from their pores every day.
All these shit arguments à la "It's not hateful/discrimination!" always rely on the idea that we trans people cannot be trusted on all self-statements, that we're inherently false, wrong & constantly lying & have only false body/psyche-perception which is hateful & transphobic in itself.

I get so frustrated when I see people advising employees experiencing institutional abuice to report the problem to Human Resources. Reporting to HR transforms victims into the problem. Don’t let HR’s name fool you. It should be called the Department of DARVO.

The article is just this clique's DARVO thing again, where they pretend that calling other trans people "cissexual" (a synonym for cisgender) is magically instead them talking about their own needs, and therefore they are being victimized when their targets object to being aggressively misgendered.
