So, the violent imagery, death threats, and suibaiting are just a joke, huh?
You think that’s a funny joke? 🤔 You think that’s “normal”?
Somebody’s already said it but it really does feel like making an offensive comment and trying to defend yourself by crying “It was a joke!”
Jokes are funny if the people you’re joking about are laughing. If I told a joke about black people and the black people in my audience didn’t laugh, it wasn’t funny. Full stop.
If you “jokingly” insult someone and they don’t laugh, the correct response is an apology, not doubling down.
If you make a habit of “jokingly” sending thread and suibait to people, and those people respond by balling you out, the appropriate response is an apology, not doubling down.
Sorry for their trauma but it doesn’t excuse them traumatizing others. I don’t get how they don’t understand that yes, telling someone you’re gonna assault or kill them can and will traumatize people. But that’s me giving them the benefit of the doubt and not assuming they’re fully aware of that.
Also, how do you think fiction that is undoubtedly and unmistakably fiction and marketed as such, should have everything in it treated as seriously as if it was happening to real people. But you don’t believe that when it comes to violent and threatening jokes about real, living people? I’m not completely rejecting the idea that you know exactly what you’re doing here.
They know exactly what they’re doing. To stand there and say “me telling you to kill yourself is just a funny joke, but you ever interacting with me at all is triggering and makes me nauseous” is such an obvious placement of their slight discomfort over others’ feelings of safety. It’s blatant, it’s cartoonish, and that’s the point. It’s a weaponization of the language of trauma as a display of power.
Unhinged ramble about how people who ship dark things in fiction need therapy to make them normal.
i also love how they assume proshippers who say they don’t intend to e people must be lying. this would not be valid evidence in court. in fact imo logic like this really shows how shit antis are at understanding how someone gets convicted. someone can’t get convicted just for being a proshipper. they have to commit an actual crime first.
also always assuming the worst of people if a sign of bad mental health to and toxic behavior. this person is so bad at giving advice in this post jesus christ.
This entire post just boils down to “I was not supervised as a child, my parents negligence and their refusal to teach me healthy behaviors and boundaries made me an easy target for predation. Instead of recognizing that my parents should have taught me better, should have helped me to understand that what I was reading was fictional and should not be replicated in real life, and instead of putting the fault on my abuser for abusing me, I am going to blame the people who made fiction on the internet. My abuse was the fault of strangers on the internet. I clearly have never actually sought help for this or even stopped to analyze the situation I went through, because I am going to directly contradict bog standard psychiatric advice about coping methods to call everyone and everyone who doesn’t agree with my view point mentally ill and accuse you all of abuse. Don’t worry, I’m the good guy. Now do what I say.”
