There are situations where others around you are too messed up themselves, have internalised toxicity, and have been trained not to say that the Emperor is wearing no clothes. And there are people who are willing to go along with disparaging the truth teller if it benefits them in other ways, which they may or may not be consciously aware of.
The effect is (more) gaslighting, and this too is part of what makes the experience traumatic—that not only is shit happening but you are unsupported.
