DARVO: Difference between revisions

Two common types of denial in the [[DARVO]] tactic is - this X didn't happen, in fact X doesn't exist at all - and they will do this even if there's an abundance of photographic evidence and facts everywhere, and it's overwhelmingly obvious that the crime or abuse actually occurred. In this case, they can't say exactly that it didn't happen, because there's pictures and all kinds evidence showing the perpetrator. If the crime or action can't be denied because they have been caught with hard evidence, then the next level of the tactic is - "well it didn't harm anyone, it's not harmful". This is commonly done with high profile people caught having sex with children, they minimize the crime by referring to it as " underage sex", that does not harm anyone. This tactic is to attempt to minimize whatever it is, and again turnaround the situation in that they were the actual victim becasue they were seduced by the underage victim. So the [[DARVO]] tactic can be quite aggressive with relentless finger pointing and [[Character Assassination]] of the actual victims. It's used obviously quite violently to really suppress people to feel threatened into being quiet, and it works effectively. It's committing yet more emotional and mental abuse, towards the victim, who's already been weakened and traumatized by the first round of abuses. Many times this comes with threats of legal action and attacks made on the credibility of the victim. They're just being dragged through the mud and the media is attacking them, and so on. This is how it works many times in the corrupted areas of the legal system, where bribery and blackmail rule, thus, it's wise to understand this and what we know as the game being played. In this game, people do not care about the truth, all they care about is who is perceived to be winning the game.
