Thought this could fit in well here
mom: who took all my coping juice
14 year old daughter:
Just a reminder, "she didnt say no" does not, and will never, mean "she said yes". Just because someone doesnt outright use the word "No" does not mean that automatically means "Yes". Also, as a survivor of s/a, i will not fault any other survivor or victim of sexual abuse for not having the exact date and time of things 100% correct, because it can be hard to remember exact details depending on numerous different factors, like if you were under the influence of drugs, medication or alcohol, or your trauma blocking out details. I personally have an extremely hard time remembering exact dates of things, especially traumatic events. This does not mean it never happened. You personally not liking a victim as a person or not liking some of the things a victim has done does not mean that person is automatically lying about their experiences. You are fully allowed to criticize someone without treating them like theyre lying about experiencing a traumatic event.
You liking the perpetrator does not change the fact that that person committed a crime. You being a fan of the perpetrator does not make their victim a liar. Stop trying to justify abusers purely based on the fact that you personally like them or their content.
it's so foggy out on the road i can't make out (makeout?! 😳😏😳🥺⁉️❤️❣️?💗💓💕💞💖💛💚💖💛💝💋?) a thing 10 feet infront of me
I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
Reading Mockingjay as an adult is extra devastating because. Of course the plucky teenager and her ragtag friends aren't going to sneak into a government building to kill the president with a bow and arrow. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that's only possible in the kind of propaganda that Coin developed. But she's so good at it that in some ways she tricks the reader into thinking that's the kind of story this is, too--even after 3 books reminding us that pretty much everything that Katniss does the second she volunteers is manipulated by adults pulling strings to make propaganda in some form or another.
