Malkuth's core suppression fried my 10-year-old graphics card

[dxxtruction]

"Louis acting like a pimp to Armand" And what is a pimp exactly? Quickly. And, oh so sexual trauma survivors can't engage in kink now without it being all about that? Pet names? They can't be submissive anymore? Consensually? Sexually healthy? Be serious. I'd hardly say there's much power difference between them during all this anyway, except that Louis is freer than Armand and it's been putting a strain on their relationship. Louis wants more from Armand, and less of this 'being his past' for them both, and so helping Armand with this could fix that. It's healthy to want to help your partners get out of a rough patch?

I mean, the whole exchange was very clearly set up as a "I want to help you" after such a great moment of vulnerability Louis feels just how much Armand is desperate for it. Louis called Armand so they could work out a plan together.

And the bit with the umbrella was Louis' way of asking 'are you willing to listen to me?' and Armand said yes by unfolding it. Louis goes on and explains, Armand is allowed to argue against it, but Louis makes his point. And then he gives Armand a way to make his own choice in it too. Armand's already decided 'I want you, more than anything else in the world', but Louis still asks after if he's sure of his choice, and with a name, Arun, that is the one of his fullest agency, running the point home. Honoring the situation Armand calls Louis Maitre - as a way of being like 'I'll do as you've said then'. To make this work he's going to have to give Louis some of the control, yes. But it's the first time such a role is ever established, and it was his choice to do it. So so what if they do it in a very suggestive way? They can't like doing that? I think it's them having fun.

I struggle to find how Louis is being overly domineering here when really he's giving and offering Armand the most agency he's ever had. Same with finding it manipulative. The manipulation was more earlier in the episode I think, when he was stringing him along, giving mixed signals. He's no longer toying with him like that. Louis might be pushing Armand, leading him on to make a decision, but he doesn't mean bad by it.

But back to this pimp thing. I find it frankly offensive that this is where people are going with this. I get it, but to run with it being the case is, on many levels, wrong.

Louis told us episode 1 this was the only sustainable line of work to support his family and keep their standing, at the time. It was never his choice to be doing this either but his blackness allowed no other options. He did what he did so his family could stay in that house and maintain all their same comforts. It gave him privileges most black men didn't have at the time that he wanted to maintain and even have more of. Anyway, it doesn't and had never defined him the way 'being good at running things' had. And in that case he just likes having that kind of control where he can get it, which makes sense.

The world is what placed that kind of role onto him of what he was allowed to be able to run, not himself. And on that he actually treated the sex workers he employed well and respected them enough to give them more opportunity.** He recognizes they don't have much in the way of options either.

Louis employed sex workers, yes, but he didn't subject them to abuse, (like how Armand was)*. He didn't oversee things in a way that would go against their consent (see; episode 1 again)**. Sometimes a job is just a job. And Sex work is work.

Armand's particular past with sexual abuses may strike a particular cord with Louis, given all that, but the very last thing either is thinking is that Louis' pimping Armand out here. This is merely their decision as companions, and had nothing to do with adding another line in a laundry list of selling Armands body out to people at the command of someone else. Armand rescinds some of his control to Louis' wishes, because he wants him, and he trusts him, that's all.

If you aren't allowing Armand that choice, and are doubtful it's fully his, you're putting him right back in the box of being defined by his abuses. Putting him back into that space where he isn't given any agency over what he does. (Which is exactly opposite of what the intent of this scene is for)*.

*: (edit) added for clarity.

**: (strike through) numerous people are saying I'm misremembering these points so disregard it. (Thought he was siding with Bricks, it was the other way around). (Technically one aspect of those opportunities were for getting around the law). I don't have a perfect memory, it happens. Let's not get mad about it. Doesn't change much of the point which is that Louis, now, Louis then, was always considering more about the running things and for stated purposes. So I guess I'd say he may only have respected the SWers enough sometimes for what allowed him to do that, and there are moments he certainly expressed remorse over the fact, but he has a great deal higher respect for Armand that is genuine. It's incomparable. Please read my added notes in the tags, it should address most other concerns.

Look all I'm saying is if that a shadow game can work THAT well and be so well designed story wise and gameplay wise

HE can work

Do you think constant exposure to forcefem stuff can actually turn you into a girl? I’ve been really confused about my identity lately. But I’ve also dabbled with forcefem content for awhile and I’m scared my feelings are more correlated with exposure than with “real” identity. I know that the whole hypno category of stuff doesn’t work unless you already want it to, but I mean more like being influenced in the same way you would be influenced by ads (which people famously underestimate how much they are influenced by).

Whenever you make a post I keep thinking “god I wish that were me” and I’m not sure whether I need to go further and just let go of my nagging doubts, or if I should step back and just go full detox for awhile and let the feelings go away. I feel like at this point if somebody told me it was too late for me and I should just let myself be turned into a girl, I would believe them. But also if they told me that I’ll undo all of these feelings if I go zen for six months in a cave I’d believe them too.

Sorry for rambling. tldr AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Cutie thinking "I wish I were turned into a girl" is a pretty big sign that maybe you're already a girl, you just lack the confidence to accept it!

Since let me be honest about the first part: If you fully removed any and all Gender and forcefem thoughts from your enviroment you might be able to lock this part of you away, and just life a live where you always have something nagging at the back of your mind, something slightly wrong whenever you see yourself in the mirror (if you don't subconsciously stop looking at yourself at all) And if you'd rather do that... That's okay (though you'd need to stay in that cave forever, and also there's no guarantee it'd work)

But I think that just maybe you'd be happier accepting that you're a girl! A cute one at that!

And also something: A big part of why a lot of trans cuties are intressted in Forcefem is because they're girls!!! At least it's that way for me! Forcefem is fun because I wanna be forcefemmed and since I'd like to be forcefemmed I'd also love to do it to others!!!

So yeah! If you're looking for permission to be a girl, here it is:

You already are a girl, you never needed permission dummy!

Now go out there and try on some skirts!
