#luke did not do what he did because he of all ppl thinkgs being allowed to keep your own kid is a privilege

[theintoccabile]

I swear people in this fandom have an easier time sympathizing with Serena than Luke

like yeah again what’s happening with Serena and her kid is sad and messed up but also idk how you all manage to be so passionate about the tragedy of it when Serena has been a supporter and enabler of the worst kinds of child abuse on a level I can barely comprehend

like?? she is one of the people who built Gilead. she was not just fine with having (...stealing...) a child in Gilead, she WANTED her child to grow up the way a child does in Gilead. She went out of her way to make that kind of country a reality and every day witnessed what it did to children (among other people) and was proud of it

it wasn’t like “oh well I live in Gilead so I guess I will have a kid here in this hellhole”, it was “I would hate to live in a country where this isn’t how children grow up”

like idk hard for me to understand the heartfelt takes about a decade long supporter of all kinds of child abuse currently being prevented from acting as a parent. even if the people who took custody are at least as bad as she was at the height of her power.

Yeah her son would be better off with her than them and okay I will buy maybe mayyybe that Serena has Seen The Light and would raise her kid right maybe more or less.

but?? again. boo-hoo, Luke (who could not know the above) had a hand in a long time supporter of child abuse who very recently threatened his 12 or so year old daughter on TV being separated from her kid, leaving aside all the other crimes and human rights violations she committed.

pretty much the least tragic thing to happen in this show ever lmao
