i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

one of my favorite things in dunmeshi is how chilchuck turns out to be the guy in the party with the least to hide despite how much he goes out of his way to act all secretive. like the more we learn about everyone else it seems like they’ve all got like trauma or crimes or even just oddities that they don’t share explicitly not bc they’re hiding anything, but just because it’s never come up, or it’s too much of a hassle to explain, or it just didn’t occur to them. meanwhile, Normal Man Chilchuck is finding new gray hairs every morning because his friends want to know how old he is and his darkest secret is that his wife left him for being… too secretive. like up against a monster-phile, a dark mage, a circus attraction and Schrödinger’s cannibal, him making such a big deal out of having three adult kids is kinda epic

[public-benches]

i would actually like to argue that that makes it even funnier because chilchuck actually recounts this tale with very little hesitation. he’s extremely open about his traumatic half foot experiences because they’re the reason for his dedicated work/life balance. the oppression he experiences is part of his everyday life within the workplace, so naturally he talks about it within the workplace.

by comparison, the others are all entrenched in some kind of drama deeply related to their roles to an extent that it’s like. yeah it makes sense that this isn’t a typical conversation topic, but they’re not ever the ones shouting about respecting professional boundaries, and also their issues are more related to their professional lives than chilchuck’s. laios is a team leader who dislikes humans because of how they historically have treated him and his sister. marcille is here to study dark magic because she’s consumed by her fear of outliving everyone she loves. senshi and starvation. izutsumi and the inherent trauma of living in a body that has been permanently changed against your will.

chilchuck is the most well-adjusted guy in the group. he’s on salary. he formed a union. he’s working on his family (more or less). he likes to drink as a hobby rather than to cope. he pursues healthy, constructive outlets for his frustrations with the world and doesn’t hesitate to advocate for himself. my point isn’t that chilchuck doesn’t have trauma, it’s that the trauma he does have is stuff he’s processed and dealt with, so that by the time the story starts he’s at a point in his life where his most closely guarded secret is that he has a family.

and the way he guards that secret so obsessively is HILARIOUS by comparison.

cant even hornypost about falin touden bc im just gonna get dozens of people responding with marcille speech bubble image edits

if female top nudity weren't viewed as inherently sexually explicit. oh brother. I would be letting those puppies hang like you wouldn't believe

[agnesandhilda]

the thing is I would be okay with being viewed as sexually attractive while topless. like a shirtless cis man can be a considered a hunk beefcake eye candy etc but it's not by nature r-rated. usamerican society at large is able to understand that toplessness can be sexually appealing but is not in itself a sexual act when a man does it. if I could be just casually topless on a hot day or something without the little flashing light over my head saying think of the CHILDREN I would be getting minoan with it

Ok. What you're gonna want to do is chop up a cucumber and put it in a bowl. Then you're gonna sprinkle a generous portion of salt on top. Then you're gonna drizzle them with a balsamic vinaigrette and gently shake to combine, leaving you with a cool and refreshing summer snack. In 15 seconds dangerous and burly men are going to drag me away to an unknown second location. Remember everything I've taught you. I love you

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes
