DARVO is a serious tactic used by serious abusers to ruin the lives of their victims. I don’t think this shitshow of a thread nor the efficacy of top-level’s shitheaddery are serious enough to warrant such a serious word. I think when the word DARVO is used, everyone should sit down and think very carefully about the evidence being presented. It shouldn’t be used as a small part of a larger rant. It should be one of those words that stops a conversation in its tracks, like a safeword.
