Love bombing is not a euphemism for "too much affection too soon," or "high desire for contact."

"Love bombing" is a term originally used in the context of cults to describe a deliberate and coordinated recruitment method that involved feigning friendship and interest in a potential recruit, via flattery, flirtation, physical affection, and very directed positive attention to everything the recruit says in order to lure them into the cult.

Since cults and abusive relationships operate in similar ways and use similar tactics, love bombing in an interpersonal relationship looks like manufacturing closeness in order to trap someone into a relationship in which the abuser has all the control.

And I know these days there's a million bullshit junky articles out there that make you think this is a symptom of cluster b personality disorders, but there is no way for you to be love bombing somebody without realizing it.

If you are an affectionate person and the level of affection and attention you give makes someone uncomfortable, you are not "accidentally" abusing them.

If you are uncomfortable with the level of affection and attention someone is paying you, they are not de facto abusing you.

Love bombing is about using someone's desire for human connection to fast track them into a situation you control that they will feel disinclined to leave.

A Poll for Going Forward

Hi everyone, first of all I just want to thank you all for tuning into the Faerie Tale Theatre reviews and for the overwhelmingly positive view count and response to my Ultimate Episode Ranking. During this break I’ve been thinking about where to take the blog next. Some of you have no doubt been hoping I return to film reviews (I admit I do have quite the backlog), while others have been asking…

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me

I've Come To Make An Announcement...

No, this has nothing to do with Shadow The Hedgehog. I’m here to share some updates about the blog going forward. Regarding the Faerie Tale Theatre reviews there are only three episodes left to cover. That might not seem like a lot, but I’ve got enough to keep this fairy tale train a-chuggin’ until the end of the year. Following the last episode, I’ll be reviewing the long-lost cast reunion…

Seeing Ben Shapiro and his ilk froth at the mouth about how the Barbie movie is "the most woke, most anti-men movie I've ever SEEN!!!" is so fucking funny because like. This? THIS is the "wokest" movie you've ever seen? Like yeah, it's a fun movie and it's critical of the patriarchy and all, but this is still like... very Gender-Studies-101 stuff. I've seen comic strips more 'anti-men' than this. I think if Ben Shapiro ever read an Audre Lorde quote he'd straight up turn to dust
