#lobotomy tw

[auschizm]

I'm sorry, but I just don't think jokes about lobotomies are funny. I don't think the deliberate physical destruction of millions of mentally ill and mentally disabled people's brains, often without consent, frequently just to make them easier to manhandle, is a laughing matter. I think it's a humanitarian tragedy

UM HEY ADVENTURE TIME FANS DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT SIMON X BETTY LOBOTOMY AU ON TIKTOK???? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT???? THE VIDEO IS GONE NOW?????? I NEED CONTEXT. WHAT WAS THAT.

[fandomwonderer]

Beware of User (@) Petribug (Tiktok and Tumblr)

I was scrolling on tiktok earlier and I’m a huge fan of adventure time and came across a petrigrof post and as a lover of petrikov I scrolled…bad mistake

This user posted a tiktok of their petrigrof au in which Betty cares for Simon, but she is a mad scientist and experiments on Simon…with lobotomies…

They romanticize the relationship where Simon begs her to stop and she continues anyways, going so far as to compliment him and call him “princess” after the procedure.

However, it gets worse. For the before and after picture made of Simon pre and post lobotomy, this user used and referenced and incorporated real photos from a victim of a lobotomy.

I don’t think I should have to specify why this is harmful, but just in case: lobotomies are not something to be romanticized or depicted in any positive light. It was a horrific surgery inflicted upon impoverished people or people who were mentally ill or considered disabled for simple ailments. To use something so complicated for an “au” disrespects what those actual people went through.

They apologized and claimed it on the basis of “it was dark horror, it’s going to be a dark subject matter” but you can make scary and horror related content without having to reference real life events or experiences that happened to actual people. It’s such a specific scenario there’s no way to go about it that isn’t disrespectful to the victims.

Their apology:

And here is what art I could find remaining up on others accounts:

Oh, Hey! This time I'm the one to spot the Disability Pride Flag in the wild

A physical (bold colored) flag hanging in the background / on the set of this video:

Eye contact. Human-edited captions in American English. ~12 minutes.

And I do get the sense that the people making the most jokes about "needing a lobotomy" or whatever aren't always among the people who would've been forced to have one...

[limpfisted]

You know those wlw posts that are like I either need a lobotomy or to get into a toxic relationship with another nun at the convent

Thats shadowheart, to me, when in reality she just wants to kiss puppies be kind and mean at the same time and bite lae'zel (girl yaoi, affectionate)

Ok I just deleted the post about my dad sending me the “antipsychotics as a chemical lobotomy” thing because I am not informed enough on the topic as of rn, and instead of going back and forth, I’m gonna educate myself on the history of that kind of thing !!!!

[ghost-bleus]

...You know lobotomy lore? :O

moreso i went down a rabbit hole a month or so ago and now know an awful lot about the lobotomies and the history of psychiatry related to drilling holes in people’s heads. like the original idea for it was when a guy was working on a railroad and got a pipe through his skull. he survived, somehow, but it showed a bunch of personality changes. and it’s always been around, even in prehistoric times, just rarely performed successfully

People like me would have gotten lobotomized in the past

Can't say I don't wish they'd do it to me now too

ice pick joe is one of the most tragic characters in goncharov and you can't change my mind.

he is the way he is because of the way his sister was treated. the ice pick scene is a clear reference to lobotomy, and between that and the way he talks about his sister and the mental asylum, well, read between the lines. he never says that she's actually dead, just that she's gone, and in the poker scene he talks about how she was the only one that ever understood him, and about how his family would only overlook his eccentricities so long as he was useful to them.

but in the end, the thing that saved him was also his demise.
