#help rape victims

[oliveoilisedible]

Fun fact, a boy in the parallel class raped a girl from the same class.

The school had to keep him for the year (for reasons I do not know) but knew it would be stupid to keep him in the same class as the girl he raped. In the SEVENTH. GRADE.

THEY WERE FUCKING 12-15

Did you know that every single boy, not only ignored the fact that he abused someone but respected it??? They'd clap him on the back and whisper to each other “did you know Elias raped a girl?”

The other boys would later say that nobody liked Elias, and it was true (he was very insufferable), but they wouldn't say it to his face.

I want you to think about that for a second.

So I think my perception of Grian's reasoning for enabling the horrible Jimmy ecosystem and also my perception of his character as a whole has been turned on its head completely and I feel really bad for him after watching Kingdom of Valor and it's like bad roleplay but it's. it's done things to me and I've never ever felt this much for Grian not even in my sadboy Grian Desert Duo phase. I don't know what to do about this

SA word under cut

Episodes 6 and 10 (like the entirety of it) for context. :( . :(. But like major warning if you watch those episodes, especially 10, because um they didn't use any disclaimers

CURLY NEVER DEFENDS JIMMY! NOR DOES HE DISMISS OR DENY ANYA'S CLAIMS!

What Curly does do is not prioritize Anya's needs immediately. What Curly does is approach Jimmy in the mildest manner possible. What Curly does is have an abuse induced breakdown at the worst moment and not realize Jimmy is serious about his murder-suicide threat.

JIMMY IS NOT NEW TO THE CREW!!!! JIMMY DOES NOT HAVE A CONFIRMED CRIMINAL RECORD!!!

The only new person is Daisuke. Jimmy has been working on the Tulpar for a least two/three years by the time of the game. Please stop expecting Curly to see YEARS into the future. The only thing we know about Jimmy's past is that he struggled. What that struggle was we don't know for sure but context clues suggest POVERTY not crime. So no Curly didn't suddenly make a known sex offender his co-pilot. That said there's nothing wrong with an ex-con getting a chance at decent work.

SWANSEA DOESN'T PROTECT ANYA!!!

He just doesn't. I'm sorry but there's no direct indication that he acts on her behalf. In fact he's misogynistic towards her. He calls her their "so called nurse" and indicates he doesn't think she's very smart to JIMMY. The conversation Jimmy interupts where we assume Anya told Swansea ends with Anya in tears and saying basically "if that's how it has to be". That is not what support looks like. There's no indication that Swansea is keeping the ax away from Jimmy for Anya especially when it's ANYA who tells Jimny to take it from him. And finally Swansea says nothing about Anya's death not even when he walks into the medbay where her body is.

ANYA NEVER ASKED CURLY FOR THE GUN! AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY SHE TOLD CURLY ABOUT HER SA!!

Seriously he never denies giving her the gun in self defense. Anya just assumed, correctly or incorrectly, that he wouldn't and just took it instead. There is no scene where Anya tells Curly about her SA. All we know is that she told him something and he doesn't understand what she meant until after she tells him she's pregnant. And once he understands he believes her.

[pass1onepr1ncess]

The people in the mouthwashing fandom who genuinely believe that Jimmy is actually attracted to cartoon horses missed the entire point of that conversation and comment. It's not that he has a horse mascot fetish or what have you, it's that he only made that comment because he doesn't take Anya or her job- including the psych eval- seriously.

He makes that comment to be condescending and dismissive of her work, basically saying "What you do is bullshit so I'm gonna give you bullshit answers because none of this matters to me. You don't matter to me."

And it's not even that he doesn't take the psych eval itself seriously because we see that when Anya gets Curly to do the eval, Jimmy sits down with him and gets it done presumably without giving those condescending "this doesn't matter" answers or comments. It's Anya specifically he doesn't take seriously or care about, as we see throughout the whole game.

That whole "being sexually attracted to cartoon horses" thing wasn't him confessing some hidden truth about himself in a psychological evaluation, it was him effectively telling Anya to fuck off and mocking her for a job he doesn't see her as qualified for. It was him reminding her that he doesn't give a fuck about her or her job.

I know it's such a non-issue and maybe I'm just looking into it too much but to see people be like "Haha Jimmy has a horse fetish" is so, idk. It just feels like those people are missing the point that even in nonsense throwaway comments like that, Jimmy is a POS in every aspect of life on the Tulpar and how he just has to feel superior and above Anya in every way in addition to the pre-existing continuous abuse and assault on her.

Not to mention the whole theory/implication that Polle and/or Jimmy's hallucinations of Polle are a stand-in for Anya, on how he doesn't even see her as a real human person and instead subconsciously equates her to the cartoon horse mascot of the bankrupt company they work for.

The importance of the allegations against Neil Gaiman being public

Claire on the podcast: Am I Broken: Survivor Stories.

S4 Ep2 - Claire "I Ignored It and I Believed Him Because He's the Storyteller [Neil Gaiman]"

"There are a few reasons why I'm coming forward now. And honestly, most of them have to do with how things went that first time that I tried. Um, that was back in 2019 that I first tried to share my story, and I reached out to a handful of journalists and I had several conversations off the record, but... Yeah, that message I got, across the board, was pretty much that what happened to me wasn't enough to establish a pattern of behavior. Because I was just one person, and back then everyone was looking for a serial rapist, right, like not one-off creeps."

"So when the journalist said what happened to you isn't enough to establish a pattern of behavior, what I heard, of course, was that what happened to you wasn't enough. And I was really shaken by that experience."

"It turns out – I wasn't the only one. Uh, three weeks ago from the date of this recording, uh, two other women came forward with allegations against him of rape and sexual assault. And one is – was in 2002, and the second in 2022. So my experience falls right in the middle of that, in 2012, and – that's a pattern! So, I decided to come forward, and ... knowing what I know now, I – I wish I'd come forward sooner, like I – no – (sigh) it just – it broke my heart hearing how one of the victims, Scarlett, had been googling "neil gaiman sexual assault" when she was trying to piece together what had happened to her, because I did the same thing! For years!"

"I was – I felt so alone, back then, and I don't want any of his victims to feel that way ever again. So, I'm sharing my experience, in solidarity, to support those women who've come forward and the people who will, and the people who can't. And... I'm also doing this for myself, as a... continuation of my healing. And I've never told my story so completely before. And... I'm choosing to do that through this podcast, because in this space, unlike in most spaces, it's not about him. It's about me, and my story."

"in the original myth medusa was a rape victim!" i'm literally banging my head against the wall

[amerasdreams]

I'm sorry but you're either for Ukraine or for russia. There is no middle ground. I don't care what your normal politics are. This isn't about politics. This is about people's lives. About them not being taken over by a country that is not only bombing them but raping and torturing them.

If you don't think we should do all we can possibly do to stop such evil, you are on the wrong side of history.

[clementimetodie]

Abuser is abusing me. I am going to respond by dragging myself down to their level and abusing them in the same way they abused me, but it's okay when I do it, because I am Morally Righteous, God Himself even told me so!

[atopvisenyashill]

if i gotta see one more person say “it’s bad to compare aegon to literally any character because he’s a rapist” or god fucking forbid a “grapist” EYE am gonna start feeding people to dragons.

[fromtheseventhhell]

Sometimes I see people misinterpreting Arya's character and honestly, all it does is make me appreciate her that much more. George could've easily written her into as a basic archetype and instead, he gave us one of the most complex and well-developed characters in the series and I'm forever grateful for that 🫶🏾

[carnage-cathedral]

I genuinely, wholeheartedly do not believe that women are statistically more likely to be rape victims. I think the numbers are probably pretty balanced but men just don't come forward about it because the reaction is always some variation of "well it was probably another man who did it to you so men are still the problem" or fucking whatever

[nyvoirquedufeu]
