ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

Idk where people get the idea that ‘erasure’ is like, a preferable alternative to violence. Erasure is not the absence of violence, it is the systematic refusal to acknowledge violence. It’s watching a drowning man and refusing to help. It’s turning your back on the sick, the starving, and the imprisoned.

This website has multiple well-known posts about how medical misogyny means most people don’t know that women can have different heart attack symptoms than men. That is erasure, and it kills people.

I have this situation in my mind where Jaybin meets with Jason. It could happen through some multiverse or timeline shenanigans or anything that throws them together.

Jaybin takes one look at Jason and immediately notices how tired he is. Not just physically tired, but the kind of tired that settles into your bones. He looks at Jason for a long moment before asking quietly,

"Seems like Bruce isn't the dad we thought he'd be, huh?"

Jason gives him a small smile. "No," he says softly. "He isn't anymore."

Jaybin raises an eyebrow. "Oh? So... he was? Before?"

Jason lets out a quiet laugh, more bitter than amused. "Yeah. Yeah, he was. Once upon a time."

Jaybin falls silent for a moment, trying to fit that answer into everything he knows. "So... we're back to taking care of ourselves, huh?" he asks. "Just like before."

Jason looks at the kid in front of him. So young. So familiar. "Yeah," he admits. "And... sorry to disappoint you, but as you can see, I'm not exactly sure I'm doing a very good job."

Jaybin frowns immediately, like the idea itself is ridiculous. "I think you're doing a good job."

Jason blinks.

"You've survived, haven't you?" Jaybin continues. "You're still alive. Maybe your life is horrible right now, but we'll survive."

He shrugs, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "We survived after Dad left. We survived after Mom overdosed and died. We survived when we had nothing. So we'll survive this too."

Jason doesn't answer right away. He just stands there, thinking. When he finally looks back at Jaybin, he sees it; the fire still burning in those young eyes. The stubborn determination to survive. To keep living, no matter what. Somewhere deep inside him, something warm stirs. Something that almost feels like hope.

Jason smiles, this one softer than before. "Okay," he says quietly. "We'll survive."

Then he pauses for a little while and continue. "And maybe... maybe one day we won't just survive."

His smile grows just a little. "We'll live. We'll build the life we deserve."

Jaybin grins back without hesitation. "Yeah," he says. "That sounds better."

the hottest thing a guy can be is barely conscious on the floor while someone lifts his head up by the hair so that you can see his glazed out eyes and the blood running down his face

may this fandom realise that the person who loves you enough to die for you can still retain the capacity to hurt you immensely. abuse does not necessarily happen in the absence of love, it happens in the absence of respect and understanding.

[strawberry-crocodile]

ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

[strawberry-crocodile]

really funny how like 10% of the comments are people going "nuh uh" and the remaining 90% are people going "this is literally whats happening to me/my mom/etc Right Now"

Actually love the theory that Jason purposefully didn’t dodge the batarang. Forcing you to kill me in front of you in order to change the trajectory of your life forever

#Suicide by cop except it’s Batman#When he said ‘either kill me or let me kill the Joker’ he was not kidding and well Bruce did make his choice didn’t he (op's tags)

[fishandshesmygills]

it’s so hard for me to not doxx myself every single day btw. my oversharer’s spirit is being stifled by internet safety

[vfx-batman]

when people mistake Jason's "I can do this crime, but you must die" ethos as him wanting to kill all criminals + not an evolution of Post-Crisis Jaybin's belief that what mattered was not legality but harm + victimisation. Oughg. he's not Helena Bertinelli, he doesn't think criminals are all scum who deserve to die b/c unlike Helena, he wasn't victimised by criminals. He was victimised by structural inequalities + the institution (+ institutional ethos) of heroism.

therapy should just be One Session where they just slough off all the Goo and then you’re done. Will someone please take my Goo

[hahawishmeluck]

u ever think about how some mental health disorders literally have criminal activity as a criteria…like not even pretending just straight up “if you don’t follow the laws of the state you’re insane” hmmm wonder why that might be
