It's the exact same attitude that is often extended to rape and violence.

The suggestion that they're the same is histrionic.
If you mean "evidence being desired is wrong", then please do not show up to serve on a jury.

This is exactly the same thought process used when saying most women who claim they've been raped weren't really raped and they just did it to manipulate someone. Obviously the severity of the accusation is different but it's the same thought process.
Also, stop all of this talk about a jury. This is about addressing issues in a community. It's not a legal proceeding. OBVIOUSLY in a court of law we'd need strong evidence to convict someone, but we're not trying to convict an individual here. We're just trying to get people like you and ESR to stop claiming our experiences are either invalid because we're mentally ill or entirely constructed because we're trying to manipulate you. It's gaslighting exactly as ummnooo said.
