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

[cordic]

platforms punishing users (eg removing icons on Tumblr) for not safe for work content or hiding posts behind id or facial rec walls (bluesky and discord now ig) makes for an interesting incentive to just never tag or provide warnings on any media you post with adult themes

When a relationship is "like family" but in a bad way. "Like family" in the sense that it becomes the only allowable place to seek care. In that it legitimizes the isolation and violence of an us-vs-them mentality. In that it creates hierarchical power structures and conditions where abuse and control are both easily rationalized and near impossible to break out of. Where the only way to escape your subjugation is to stop being the child and become the parent, starting the cycle anew. And this is both expected and encouraged. Where you feel obligated to repay your caretaker by becoming the kind of person they want you to be. Where everyone looks a little too much like you.

I’ve been relistening to Ancillary Justice again… here’s one of my favorite scenes!!

[nebulations]

[ID: Imperial Radch fanart of Breq and Seivarden walking on the red glass bridge in Nilt. Seivarden yells angrily at Breq, who walks forward with an impassive expression. Seivarden sneers as she exclaims, “Nobody, that’s who. Try all you like, you’ll never be what I was born to be– and people like you hate that!” Breq turns to Seivarden with a cold expression, and Seivarden flinches, steps back, and drops over the edge.

Breq sighs, still expressionless, and looks over the bridge to find Seivarden clinging to a glass spire. Seivarden, teary: “You were going to hit me!” Breq continues to watch, and Seivarden asks, “Breq– Can you do something?” The glass starts to crack. Breq asks, “Do you trust me?” Seivarden stares, then says, “I– I trust you.”

Breq steps over the ledge, and the panels themselves fracture as the glass breaks. We see Seivarden’s shocked face as Breq grabs onto her and they embrace, and a full page shot them falling into an abyss of blue ice that transitions to a night sky as red glass shatters around them. At the bottom of the deep blue, we see Seivarden’s line: “If that’s what you’re willing to do for someone you hate, what would you do for someone you loved?” End ID]

I liked the energy of Lane Lambert's exit interview. Maybe I'm just not as personally attached to some of the guys who are more likely to be leaving but it's more exciting than sad for me to wonder what's going to be different next season... not the common mood in the lb and I'm definitely not trying to say anyone else should feel that way! I just like it when things end I guess 🫣
