it just feels so callous and impulsive to add in a line about mirror!iris' sexual abuse of barry (when the option to leave it ambigous was fully there, or to make it so mirror!iris wasn't physically affectionate like that at all), when we have a character like grace wylde in the exact same universe. at that point in time, on the same fucking prime earth. grace is literally canonically a victim of child sex trafficking. her history of being sexual abused is fully realized canon in black lightning. she still suffers the mental consequences. and then we go over to the flash and it's making barry hold his rapist as she dies in his arms and then we never address it again. what the fuck. you can't be treating something like THIS as serious as it is over there and making light of it over here if you want everyone to take the thing seriously over there.
