#sa mention
People are really bold making Amber Herds SA testimony into a cheeky “lucky you” TikTok sound. It doesn’t matter if it’s true, what matter is that this is apparently how you view SA if the perpetrator is attractive. You just have the gall to say it now bc you think she’s a bitch.
“Uhhh so you believe her?? ” reading comprehension of a dead dog, I swear.

the way tomorrow said “this is a show about women and the atrocities committed against them by men and a society that has always and still stands behind men. this is a show about women who are victims of sexual violence, this is a show about their stories being told in their most raw and truest form without being watered down, this is a show about redirecting the blame back to the perpetrators instead of the victims, this is a show about refusing to forget that women have suffered so much and there was no justice”. and yes, it’s also about a lot of other things, but this is a recurring theme, like they don’t want the audience to just watch one episode with a sa storyline, cry and then forget about it. no. you cannot forget about it, because it’s so prominent, always there throughout the centuries. you are not allowed to forget.

It’s getting worse day by day.
I’m staring to feel the need of cuts, craving the sight of my own blood as a punishment. The things that helped me before, are not working anymore.
I often catch myself degrading my whole being, like as I am an outsider. The memories he made me suffer through are not fading at all, as the doctor has said they will.
Everything is useless. I’m staring to think If It’s worth staying alive or not at all. This is not the usual kind of post, this is much longer and deeper this time.
I’m counting the days I should stay alive but my pen is getting useless day by day. My body feels like It’s rotting with every breath I take and every movement gets me closer to the edge.
His hands made wounds that will never heal, but get nastier and nastier everytime I see them. I wish I never wore a skirt. Especially not that day.
I’m begging for the world to end me in any way. Give me the sweet release of this lie, this false reality. I don’t want to live like this no more.
I’m waiting for the lovely day of my death, the freedom from this suffering. Heaven or Hell doesn’t exist. Hell surely don’t. There’s no worse place than Earth itself.
The sour taste the pills, lefr on my tounge never faided since that day.
I wish I never decided to look that way.
I wish I never decided to go out that day.
I wish He didn’t call me sweetheart.
I wish He died.
One of the things I don’t like about Glee is that the fandom knows the characters better than the writers do.
Like when Ryder talked about his SA, there was absolutely no way Sam would’ve said what he did.
There are so many things that are just so out of character and the writers didn’t even notice.
I’ve noticed that when I remind people that “women’s issues” affect men too- periods, pregnancy, abortion, higher sexual assault, etc- they react very dismissive. Like, “oh yeah, trans men too, i guess.” And it’s because they don’t view trans men’s issues as men’s issues, they view them as a subsect of women’s issues. People, including many, many allies, just straight up do not conceive of trans men as men. They certainly may believe us when we say we identify as men, but in their minds we are always just a different flavor of woman- and I know this because I have gotten this point of view in my own head, where I have to remind myself that my issues are, in fact, men’s issues. Not women’s. Not “non-men’s.” Abortion is a men’s issue. “Pink taxes” are a men’s issue. These are things that affect men.
The unbearable whiteness of the ‘disaffected young woman’ genre
“When I use the term “whiteness” I do not solely mean that white women are overrepresented as protagonists. I also include whiteness as a hegemonic force used to subjugate and oppress people of color. Although these white protagonists often act violently upon themselves, through various forms of self-harm, eating disorders or engaging in dangerous sexual acts, to regain control of their lives, they also externalize this violence onto those they can get away harming. Their primary targets are often people of color, mainly Black people.”
“These fictional depictions of the white disaffected woman have real-world parallels. In an episode of the Red Scare Podcast titled “Shia Labuse,” hosts Dasha Nekrasova and Anna Khachiyan mock FKA twigs, who opened up about the abuse she endured from Shia LaBeouf. Dasha, who diagnosed herself with “girl, interrupted syndrome” and is heavily associated with the waif aesthetic, calls twigs “attention-seeking” and “aggressive” in reference to the New York Times article where she exposed Shia. One can only assume she felt comfortable making these cruel remarks because Black women are not afforded the same vulnerability that white women are able to capitalize on.”
“Black women are not afforded the luxury of dissociation due to the continuous cycle of racial violence we are forced to confront.”
immediately lost followers for this. this the hill ya wanna die on??? threatening someone with death and SA over a band that will NEVER EVER give a flying fuck about your existence??? damn. okay. couldn’t be me but get well soon!
