#being a victim of rape and liking mw is. so exhausting

[horrorknife]

its sooooo funny when ppl treat swansea like this Do Gooder Who Has Children So He Can’t Be Mean Because He Really Has A Heart Of Gold <3 because hes also a raging misogynist like jimmy is. they pingpong back and forth about how “useless” anya is but yeah keep acting like he was ever fuckin nice to her. i sincerely doubt he was even all that kind to her when they talked in the cockpit either.

do you guys see how turning jimmy (and oftentimes curly too) like the worst supervillain of all time and turning everyone else into perfect angels ruins the fucking point of the narrative? do you understand that everyone on the tulpar did some bad shit? do you understand that everyone on the tulpar interacts with post-crash curly as an inconvenience that needs to be kept quiet? or was your only takeaway “jimmys a rapist so lets pretend he doesnt exist”? do you get how that softens the story being told? like fuck man. can we please actually inspect the point of the narrative? do your fandom shit idgaf i like shipping and dicking around as much as anyone else. but for the love of god stop treating rape like a one dimensional thing that instantly turns you into an irredeemable monster. you are missing the entire point of the game. fucking hate how everyone’s too much of a pussy to discuss the deeper and darker themes of the game because god forbid we discuss rape right? EVEN THOUGH THATS WHY THE GAME WAS MADE! BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT TALK ABOUT RAPE CULTURE OR HOW CAPITALISM ENABLES AND BENEFITS FROM IT

like holy shit the point is not that jimmy is a horrible monster the point is that everything in their work environment enabled him to take advantage of the entire crew. the point is that even if things had gone the way they shpuld’ve, it’s likely that a report wouldn’t have made it anywhere within pony express’ reach because of the working conditions they set and how they deduct payment for any small inconvenience. they make it extremely difficult to do your job without being penalized let alone reporting strife between crewmates. jimmy also has class based issues but the only time we ever touch on that is to talk about how he’s “unwashed” or whatever. like can we grow the fuck up please. he cut curly’s leg off and fed him his own meat but rape’s his worst offense??????
