What I notice about Abigail Thorn's video on conversion therapy is just how carefully she's wording every single statement she makes to insulate her from any and all defamation claims. And I sit there going, "these are some very carefully worded statements, why is that"? Then I realise that she needs to word her claims very carefully because there will be people looking over her video with very expensive lawyers looking for any and all reasons to sue her, the same way this happened to Amnesty International.
And in that moment, I'm like "holy shit... it's this bad, huh"
