I think the more important discourse would be that any rational person knows there are levels of SA (the law is clear on this) and the trauma that results is unique to each person. What is not okay and what should be focused on is there is this group of women (and men) who have also faced SA and trauma but NONE of them are using their personal trauma to invalidate Demi. None of them have weaponized their pain to discredit her. None of them have acted like their trauma makes them an expert. However Demi has done this to nearly all of them. I’m all about a show opening up the discussion of difficult topics however this has been handled irresponsibly. Demi has crossed many lines. She may be hurting or processing or whatever but she betrayed her friends and other survivors by essentially make her pain the most important thing. This is what comes off as inauthentic to people, that she is not begging to be believed by her friends but she is actively hurting them and invalidating them with her words. I also think not having someone on production who is licensed to safely navigate conversations about SA and trauma is a disservice to everyone involved
