Strong/weak people of any gender shouldn’t hit other people. But if you choose to start a fight, don’t be surprised when the other person decides to play along.
“Start shit, get hit” is a phrase to live by, because you can’t assume someone is going to take your abuse without giving a little back.
I had a FWB years ago who would do that up until the day where I wasn’t able to stop the response reflex and punched her right in the tit. Felt kinda bad since it wasn’t exactly consensual, but we did worse than that regularly, so it wasn’t a big deal.
She’d still do it periodically cuz she liked getting punched in the tit, but that was at least negotiated 🤣
I don’t use blender, but I got curious anyway after the other person’s comment. Obviously I haven’t used it, but you might look into the repo, might make it easy for you to auto-restart crashed jobs
Omg, I’m stealing that idea for my throuple next Halloween. Don’t know who the dude is, but the costume idea is on point
Maybe it would help if I understood what you meant by ruined?
Social impact (both negative attention from peers, along with recurring trauma of seeing your abuser get away with minimal punishment), emotional trauma, swlf-harm, loss of ability to trust (especially bad when it was someone you knew and thought was safe), and even impacts to job/school due to the event, to name a handful I’ve witnessed.
Are you talking overall or only focusing on the immediate future?
Sorry, I thought my parenthetical made it clear I was talking about the immediate future
I can’t say I’ve known a sexual assault survivor whose life wasn’t wrecked for the immediate future as they came to terms with the assault and having to see their abuser walk around free.
Call it what you will, but I’ve helped more than one friend through it, so I’ll keep it as is.
The woman’s life is already ruined, so why not ruin theirs too?
(I know their life isn’t ruined forever, but it might as well be for the foreseeable future)
Oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
They need to get those witches on retainer to curse the whole party
With some of the shit bad dragon puts out, I’m never surprised to find out someone would gladly try it.
And I’m pretty sure I know a few that would as well, given half a chance in the right environment.
That looks like it’s made of a very porous material, so someone is going to have a very bad time down the road.
I don’t disagree with a lot of what you wrote, other than the end:
All this means I really only feel like it’s valid to judge JK as if she were the somewhat bigoted person she originally was, rather than today’s turbo-Nazi version of her.
I disagree, we can judge her on the choices she made that brought her to this point. She chose to engage with negative criticism with hostility and surrounded herself with people who validated the beliefs and behaviors that culminated in where we are today.
She could have chosen to remove herself from those situations instead of jumping in with both feet, but there would have been a social/ego cost to it, so she continued letting herself be radicalized into the hateful thing she has become.
And I judge her as someone having almost walked a similar path. I was on the alt-right pipeline over a decade ago when they were getting their feet underneath themselves, and I had a combination of self-awareness/shame that helped me come to my senses.
I disagree with the idea that she needed to be on Twitter and engage in twitter arguments. There was moderate criticisms of her across the net, the fact she WILLINGLY chose to engage in an opinion cesspool that let her drown in shit is her own goddamned fault.
Plenty of other people hired someone to deal with their social media accounts because they didn’t want to subject themselves to socially-acceptable-4chan, she chose to chug sewage straight from the pipe despite having plenty of money and the connections to have it. Honestly, her not engaging with criticism with hostility would have done wonders for the whole situation.
If all it took to turn a terf into a bigot was to give the author some moderate criticisms about the systemic failings of their world building to turn them into a Nazi, I think the only solution is to prevent terfs from becoming authors.
Either that or we need to accept that this was always going to be the outcome of some privileged rich white idiot who can’t handle the slightest bit of pushback who’d rather cozy up to Nazis than admit that maybe her writing isn’t perfect.
And you know Cindy would claim it’s an Emotional Support Weapon, because we all know she didn’t properly train and license it to be a proper Service Weapon.
SMH my head
And you’ll have your game shitstormed by incels.
Give it a couple of weeks and they’ll be distracted by some movie with a woman lead in it, and it will all blow over.
Lol, even the answer key is wrong
