It's never been mandatory to believe all women or victims. Every single person who came forward throughout the history of MeToo, which started well before 2017, has faced new acts of violence as retaliation from their abusers and the public for upsetting the status quo

There always have to be specific cases—Aziz Ansari, Depp v. Heard—where the women who came forward are just repeatedly slandered in service of the narrative that they lied and they are examples of MeToo excess, even when they've only been harmed for coming forward and egregiously so!

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo
