Poor Amanda Bynes. I loved watching her stuff as a kid. The original commenters are so vile. I hope she's doing better now.

When her show was on it was a time when my sons were little and watched the network. As in, I'd catch her show, but only as a secondary viewer through my kids. I always thought she was so incredibly talented in her show. She was essentially the one girl act for the kids version of Saturday Night Live kind of skits/humor. It is so sad how she was abused and still is by men on social media like this. Poor woman, they've reduced her whole entire life as if she was a fucking doll or mannequin.

I wish I could hug her and tell her she matters for real.

she was ran thru the hollywood pedos

And you (OOP commenter) think THAT’S HER FAULT?!?!! Because that is definitely what you’re implying here.

Classic objectification. She isn't a human being who was hurt and abused, she's an object that has been used and defiled. It's a sick way of completely taking the focus off the abuser and putting it on the woman who had "lost value". Absolutely infuriating.

u/Sandwitch_horror Aug 11 '24

She was a kid too. When she was being abused, she was a literal child.

"Ran through" and these dickheads wonder why people think they are dickheads.

u/Yutolia Feminist Killjoy Aug 11 '24

These dudes: “it’s her fault she was sexually assaulted and we need to make illegal for women to gain weight or go through any life changes that offend my peepee!”

Also these dudes: “why won’t anyone date me?”

u/opal2120 Aug 12 '24

I just want to ask them if they realize they are talking about a child when they say shit like this. Sure, she isn't a child NOW, but when she was abused she sure as shit was.

u/Enough-Enthusiasm762 Aug 12 '24

Ran through is just another buzz term they use

I love Amanda and wish these ghouls would leave her alone

u/WarioNumber379653Fan Aug 11 '24

It’s hard to watch her movies now knowing everything she went through. I loved every single thing I saw her in, she was phenomenal and I hope she finds peace with everything. :(

Amanda Bynes went through hell as a kid and teen. She was sexualized and fetishized, sexually harassed, SA’d, the list goes on. This isn’t anything to do with feminism or anything like that, but letting Project 2025 go through is exactly how you get more cases of Amanda Bynes, not the other way around because women and young girls will be seen as objects in need of being possessed.

u/datbundoe Aug 11 '24

The way her parents were active in her defilement as well

145

u/SwordsOfSanghelios Aug 11 '24

Yup. I can’t remember when this was but there were voice recordings of her talking to her friend and admitting her dad had also SA’d her and her mom chose to stand by her dad instead of supporting and helping Amanda too. It’s so upsetting.

54

u/SueBee29 Aug 11 '24

This makes me so upset. She was failed on so many levels.

40

u/SwordsOfSanghelios Aug 11 '24

Yeah I feel terrible for her. I was a huge fan of her growing up, so seeing her be failed so terribly by the adults around her is saddening. Now people are turning her problems into a punchline.

u/ConcernPrestigious12 ORGANISED FEMALES Aug 12 '24

And the period of time ( I want to say around 2012) where all the tabloids were featuring her nonstop. I distinctly recall seeing some on the rack of a hotel gift shop and thinking they were really running out of things to say. All the headlines were just stupid like “Amanda looks like she gained 5 pounds!!! She must be having another schizo meltdown!!” Just harassment

9

u/Xmaspig Aug 12 '24

Aah the good old days when a celeb would gain 5lb and be accused of having a breakdown or letting themselves go, and then a month later they'd lose 5lb and be accused of having an eating disorder. The utter bullshit I read as a teenage girl, it's honestly horrific looking back.

u/thetitleofmybook Feminist Aug 11 '24 edited Aug 11 '24

we need to do everything we can to prevent P2025 from happening, so that people like the commenters in that post are not ever in charge.

please vote in November, if you are in the US

u/CrazyTalkAl Aug 11 '24

This is the way.

u/AspiringCellist ORGANISED FEMALES Aug 12 '24

Hey, im not from the US and therefore not very versed on its politics. Do you mind explaining to me what this project 2025?

6

u/thetitleofmybook Feminist Aug 12 '24

there are so many good explanations available via a simple search, that anything i could say would not come close to covering it.

but if you need a sound bite: P2025 is what the evangelical christian right want to enforce on the US, and if Trump wins, it will be part of his playbook.

u/Stellar_boom Aug 12 '24

I’m not American either, but this web explains it pretty well I think (at least I found it very helpful).

u/milhaus Aug 11 '24

What an awful way to talk about any human being.

67

u/insecureslug Aug 11 '24

they ask what happened to her while continuing to objectify her body, just no longer sexually so then it must be okay right.

I hate twitter

u/tomokaitohlol7 Aug 11 '24

First misogyny, then they’re being hella insensitive to what she went through Also the casual ableism too

u/onlyforsex not all men 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 Aug 11 '24

That's the point. Right wingers love being cruel. It makes them feel powerful relishing in the misery of others.

u/polkad0tti Aug 12 '24

I hate how normalized their incel bullshit has become in the “manosphere”, they don’t even stop to think about the cruel bullshit they’re saying anymore. It’s been absurd watching it blow up over the years. They used to be losers on some dark corner of the internet.

u/LillyPeu2 Cunty Vagina Party Aug 11 '24

Well, the user name of OOP checks out. "Women being awful", because she sure is being an awful, ableist, piece of shit human being.

So much internalized misogyny in those comments. Sad.

91

u/BecuzMDsaid Aug 11 '24

Yeah, that's not a woman posting that. The woman in his profile pic is someone who gets hated online regularly.

12

u/LillyPeu2 Cunty Vagina Party Aug 11 '24

whew, I suppose. But the name/awfulness synergy still works. They are ostensibly posing as a women, and definitely being awful to women.

58

u/BecuzMDsaid Aug 11 '24

"They are ostensibly posing as a women"

I'm sorry but are you familiar with a lot of outrage accounts?

They always have someone they hate getting "clowned on" as their profile picture.

If you look closely, the woman in the picture is in tears with what looks to be a police lineup board in the backdrop.

This dude is not posing as a woman. His entire account is dedicated to making fun of women.

Alright, you two get together and decide if OOP is posing as a woman or not, and let me know. Thanks.

u/BecuzMDsaid Aug 12 '24

Cool. We agreed. They are not posing as a woman.

u/LillyPeu2 Cunty Vagina Party Aug 12 '24

Fine. Agreed. Who cares?

4

u/BecuzMDsaid Aug 12 '24

No, they aren't.

It's super common practice for rage bait accounts to use a mocking profile pic.

Is every anti-SJW account that uses the "crying liberal" meme as their pfp posing as a liberal or a woman?

0

u/LillyPeu2 Cunty Vagina Party Aug 12 '24

Why are you still arguing with me? Please, tell me, is the account posing as a woman? Or not? I agree, whatever you say. It's shitposting. Either way, it's shit.

You're making a bigger deal out of this than necessary.

u/NatalieSucksAtLife Aug 11 '24

I feel like some of these might be bots but the way they use an actual victim that has gone through so much makes me so mad

u/unefilleperdue Aug 11 '24

I sadly think they're real, I have known too many people like that.

u/NatalieSucksAtLife Aug 11 '24

Idk It’s just so hard for me to believe you can be this evil like where are right wingers finding these super-villains?? 😭😭 The stuff that happened there is like common knowledge so like to go on and make fun of this girl’s looks knowing whay she’s been through is so disgusting

30

u/homo_redditorensis Aug 11 '24

A core part of "right wing ideology" is being selfish and evil. Right wingers are what happens when the empathetic and long term planning parts of your brain don't work.

u/bioxkitty Aug 11 '24

If you aren't capable of evil or haven't experienced certain flavors of it, it's hard to conceptualize, but it's much more depraved than what we would expect. :(

u/unefilleperdue Aug 11 '24

it's not just right wing. don't delude yourself into thinking leftist men are any less misogynistic. but yes, it really is too bad

u/MellieCC Aug 13 '24

That account is absolutely VILE and I wish terrible things on the asshole misogynist behind it.

27

u/bytegalaxies Aug 11 '24

poor girl has been through a lot. I'm not surprised that she had a lot of issues she had to recover from after the amanda show. I hope she's doing well now and is able to move past what happened

86

u/storagerock Aug 11 '24

All I can objectively see from these images is that she stopped doing the fake tan thing, gained a healthy amount of weight, and someone cherry picked some less-flattering photos of her - you can easily find contemporary pictures of her online that look way more in line with stereotypical pop-culture attractiveness ideals.

37

u/MageOfVoid127 Aug 11 '24

Yeah she literally??? Looks fine rn but someone chose the picture of her when she was blinking but men I guess

18

u/Sil_Lavellan Aug 11 '24

Ugh, someone took a photo when she was wearing flat shoes, little or no make up and not posed for the camera.

It's about time that people realised that celebrity women don't look like they're at movie premier all the time.

She looks fine.

“idk must’ve been feminism”

u/Dollysuta Aug 11 '24

I remember looking through this “women being awful” account and I kid you not, some of the it was women asking for basic human respect and men being worse

7

u/onlyforsex not all men 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 Aug 11 '24

That's what most misogyny is based on. They hate women for demanding basic human respect. They don't like that women aren't ok with being used abused and tossed away.

u/soap-fucker Aug 12 '24

“what happened to her?” everyone in her life failed her and you’re still looking for ways to blame her for it. these people are disgusting. just leave amanda alone ffs

u/Hi_Jynx Aug 11 '24

She's just bad at makeup and gained some weight.

2

u/LeMeACatLover Aug 12 '24

Exactly! Antipsychotic meds(which are used to treat Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, the latter of which she does have) can cause weight gain, so that's likely what we're seeing here. Unfortunately, from my own personal experience(I have Bipolar Disorder), I've learned that most people would rather see a woman be skinny and severely mentally unwell instead of fat and sane.

The disconnect from reality and the lived experiences of SA victims is astounding. $20 bucks says you could have a more reality based conversation with someone going through delirium than these people.

u/Karnakite Aug 12 '24

This reminds me of when someone I know found a photo of Raquel Welch taken a couple years before she died. He said, in a state of disgusted shock, “Oh my God, she really let herself go.”

She was eighty years old.

u/AspiringCellist ORGANISED FEMALES Aug 12 '24

What happened is that disgusting Hollywood creeps put her through hell and back still as a kid, so now she’s got a lot of past traumas to work through and definitely doesn’t need heartless weirdos on the internet judging how she’s currently looking compared to before and whatnot

I hope she’s getting better and healing. And I hope she never has to cross these idiotic tweets
