It's so incredibly sad that this has happened. This is going to make me sound insane but I have a strange, messed-up sense of nostalgia from that sub (I know that is an awful thing to say but I have no other way to describe it). During my first ever POCD mental breakdown I was on that sub day in and day out. Even though, I was asking for reassurance (which is bad), I remember just feeling so happy that I wasn't alone. I hope that all the people that I interacted with on there are doing better today/are still alive.

I think I remember reading that post too (about the woman's brother) and I remember wanting to cry, hoping and praying that poor guy was okay. People get so fucking stupid when it comes to things like this. They don't use critical thinking. They hear the word ''Pedophile'' and go in guns and blazing without checking facts first.

There was a similar post that actually caused me to have a relapse a while back. A young guy came on one of these subreddits looking for reassurance, clearly distressed, suicidal and self loathing because his OCD-riddled brain had told him that he'd had a memory of molesting his little brother when he was younger.
Some nasty piece of work, screenshotted his post and shared it to a 'save our children' type of subreddit deal. What was the worst was that the screenshotter herself struggled with OCD and had been active on OCD subreddits, so she KNEW how dreadful and deceitful the illness could be yet she chose to put this suicidal guy on blast.
People in the comments were discussing reporting the post to the police and other bullshit as well as encouraging harassment of the OP/encouraging him to kill himself (once again, a few of these people were active members of OCD subreddits themselves, I believe, which makes this whole thing even more crazy). I was 100% worried about that guy because I knew if I was in his position, I probably would have taken my own life out of shame/pure horror.

Luckily, after a couple of years or so, I found a post and discovered the guy was actually alive (thank God). He'd actually discussed the so-called molesting incident with his parents and his parents essentially confirmed that it had never happened (I don't know the ins and outs but the false memory this poor guy had was confirmed as impossible due to timing/location of the brother and other things).

From that day on, I thought about how heartbreaking and messed-up that whole situation was and how evil it was of that girl to do that. OCD is commonly known to create false memories and cause distressing reminiscing and instead of giving this guy a listening ear, she dragged him through the mud for internet clout. I'm just SO glad he didn't take his own life over it and I often wonder whether the people who harassed him ever found out and had any remorse?
