I would love to have a conversation with the author of this story. I think it takes a lot of experience to be able to depict such graphic scenes of something so uncomfortable. You have to have been through it and be able to describe it in detail to have the artist draw these types of scenes or the artist has to have gone through it themselves like yk. People are sick sometimes but not even a sick person can make you feel this uncomfortable without experiencing it. Especially in the way where if you’ve never experienced it you feel as if you just have or if like me, have it make me revisit a traumatic experience in similar circumstances. I would love to know if the author was a victim of SA by a family member and if this is their way to vent. Of course their imagination does play a part in this but even fiction holds a piece of reality. I just want to know if the author is finally releasing something they thought they felt like they couldn’t tell anyone cause it seems as people are judgy without knowing. Judging and calling the author names while knowing nothing of them personally.
It's crazy to me people act like this depiction is a romanticisation of the topic. Like you said I don't think the author could depict the unease, the fear, the disgust this accurately if they haven't gone through a similar experience themselves or have extensively researched the topic by talking to victims. The chapter was horrible to read and I feel like that was the point, to show how vile and horrifying such an experience is by provoking a visceral reaction from the reader themselves. If this chapter disgusted you, congratulations, you're a normal person with empathy. As a victim of csa I find this depiction frankly refreshing, since too often the act itself is brushed off or made into some joke, this was raw and painful and I definitely hyperventilated trying to read it, but I think it perfectly encapsulated the feelings of a victim. Letting people experience a sliver of those emotions is very important in my opinion. Could the author have portrayed it better? Sure, taking some more liberties with the art style to portray the horror could help, but I personally think the author handled it well.
I've been saying this about people who use art as a means of healing or using their own experiences to write stories-- but no one actually cares about victims and either want to use them as shields to harm others or toss them to the side when we aren't "innocent" enough for them.
Lord forbid we use a medium that has been used as an emotional catharsis since the dawn of man.
It pisses me off so goddamn much.
It’s crazy cause now of days you really have to push the boundary with people as a victim to even get them to look at you as a person. I think a lot of people have forgotten their own humanity and lose the ability to empathize on something’s. It makes me sad that people have to become uncomfortable to finally see things but even then their concerns are for their own comfort and not what happen and how to prevent it or how to help the person overcome the situation they went through and are probably still reliving in their head so that we all can be at ease. People have become inherently selfish. There is a line between putting yourself 1st and Just being selfish, some people have erased that line. Again we don’t know what the author has been through but for a lot of the comments I read to have been about their own discomfort it hurt me as a victim of a similar situation cause the Author could really need help. They could really have no one to lean on or just want people to be able to see even a bit of what they went through and people’s concern is not that of the mental state but of how uncomfortable they were on an issue they actually DID NOT have to read but read anyway out of pure curiosity and then proceeds to judge the author. I think even commenting on the characters and their behaviors would’ve been better than saying that the authors is Sick and a Weirdo for writing about, telling, and depicting something so real that happens to real people.
Thank you, I’m sure you’ve made so many others feel seen. As, instead of speaking about how the situation may arise discomfort in you, acknowledging how horrible a situation is for the person experiencing it and acknowledging that it did happen to them. That is a comfort that no many people can give to others.
I know I've already replied to you in my own thread, and running two convos is kinda redundant, but I wanted to thank you as well.
It's rough being subjected to countless insults-- whether direct or indirect-- for finding emotional solace in darker stories as a survivor of repeated trauma. I pride myself on being mentally "built different" 'cause my hide is a lil tougher and thicker than most, so I know if this shit is starting to get to me then there's no telling how many others have been silently suffering for far longer than I have.
I honestly just hope that some of them come across people like myself that are at least willing to speak up and know that they aren't alone, and that it isn't "disgusting" to find themselves drawn to the grotesque or horrifying.
I do my best not to engage with people on this stuff too often 'cause it does wear me out and cause flare-ups for my CPTSD and all my other "fun" mental disabilities. I wish there was an extension or some way to just hide the comment section so I'm not tempted to argue with people or see what they are saying.
I agree completely. There's also people that try white knighting for the victims and in the process they constantly trample on us and it's just so disheartening. Honestly all the comments here straight up just made me sad, it feels like all they care about is just not seeing the depictions of these things at all just to protect their own comfort as you said, completely ignoring people who had to go through them and might find some solace in media that tries to portray the horror of it all. I rarely really see media that portrays the same feelings I had in those moments so well, so comments going "this makes me uncomfy so the author is gross uwu" are just reductive. It wholly feels like they all missed the entire point of the chapter because it accomplished what the author tried to do. I do think most of these people are young and have not yet learnt how to critically consume media and to analyse what they consume deeper than face value, so at least there's that.
Why can’t we be happy for shit like. I hope Phillip and Dave live MISERABLE LIVES like wtf.
Why everytime you see this man it’s wait outside and not go get more people or even go get my man. Also bitch you pregnant or yall paired? Whichever one it be ouuuu bitch he finna be pressed
I think he sends them out cuz they can’t do anything since the trashy dude is their boss and if they did smth they would be in danger, also I doubt he’s pregnant, I think the bottom paired with the top. Not 100% sure
But fr he gonna be pissed, that bastard gets pissed about everything.
Hope the bottom will be ok （/TДT)/
Frfr I'm getting sick and tired of him not being careful. Did he learn nothing from the rape.
Oh no I already read and understood the backstory, he been doing before he was the boss. He uses people against him especially if he know that he cares for them so he sends them off to protect them which is cute but I’m TIRED OF WATCHING HIM ALLOWING HIMSELF TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. HE NEED TO START LEAVING TOO CAUSE WTF but yep finna watch this man be pressed
Ohhhh yea same tho I was thinking and hoping the top comes saves him cuz he isn’t gonna leave and doesn’t let others stop the dude :(
