      And their defence still consists of playground bully levels of “nuh uh, no I didn’t”.

      This is what makes it so much worse to stomach. These two are just bullies, with zero empathy, zero remorse and without the emotional intelligence to even begin to think about what they have done to other people. It’s appalling to think that there are people out there who are so incapable of recognising that other people have lives too and that what they have done has destroyed many people. I genuinely hope they are completely crushed by this trial, though sadly I can’t help but feel that he’s going to dodge any real form of punishment. Reactionary, backwards politics and culture needs people like the Tates to continue to perpetuate their never ending hierarchy of suffering, and I can imagine them continuing to get bankrolled so that they can pedal their toxic influence even after being so publicly shamed.

        Same. Deeply sickening to think what they put those women through.
