Reminder if you’re talking about John Gaius’ backstory on Twitter, PLEASE censor the name Dilworth. There is an ongoing inquiry and legal investigation into decades of sexual assault that happened to students at that school and not censoring the name makes things difficult for people trying to report on and follow that inquiry, which again, concerns real life crimes and cover-ups which took place over many years and are the source of trauma for a lot of people

the horrors of remembering Johnny Horton's jaunty song about John Paul Jones and having to remember this little tidbit:

Not a call out but something I know that @rebelcliche has also experienced it and I’ve been sent asks recently and I’m a survivor myself so needed to be said

CHILDREN should not kiss ADULTS or do anything sexual ever. Even in rp. You will be blocked and it’s super super gross

okay, the more I think about it the angrier I get

Mia was not a sex worker, she was a victim of trafficking who was a child. She is a survivor. Hypersexuality is a trauma response, it’s not a good thing for a child victim to be reliving her trauma, nor is that something to love. I made that post because Mia’s story was the first time I’d seen any media tackle the ugly trauma responses to CSA, and showcase the ways in which real people respond to trauma. This was not a celebration of Mia’s trauma, but rather a celebration of the writing that allowed her to be a person with those experiences but who didn’t let those experiences define her. 

I fully understand wanting a positive sex worker character, and we should have more positive depictions of sex workers. But, in the words of the wise @lesbianmiadearden “being trafficked from the age of 11 to 15 is not a #girlboss moment.” Her story is literally about escaping being trafficked and ONLY THEN does she feel like she has a future for the first time in her life. 

Sincerely, a survivor who would like people to read the goddamn room.

How is there only like one meta on Roman having been sexually abused as a kid? Is it because people want to ship him with Gerri without feeling bad? Succession doesn't broadcast many things loudly and clearly but Roman's sexual abuse kinda...rings through the narrative like the bells of Notre Dame, for me.
