dehumanization tropes i love
-not allowed on furniture. remain standing or kneel on the floor, no sitting
-not allowed to make eye contactÂ
-being silenced immediately every time they try to speakÂ
-casual manhandling, being dragged alone because they’re not trusted to move by themselvesÂ
-casual, nonconsensual touch. randomly pulling them closer, absently playing with hair, manually adjusting their posture
-giving orders without explanationÂ
-giving orders they know are arbitrary, just to exercise power
-talking about them like they aren’t even in the roomÂ
-authorizing other people to monitor and control them
-being kept in restraints 24/7, with movement restricted even further in their downtimeÂ
-degrading their natural behaviors and reflexes. stare is creepy, smile is ugly, flinching is disrespectful, etc…
-putting down their hobbies/interests
-ascribing ill intent to all their actions and assuming the worst from them
