isaac too. he wouldn't do that shit (ik they had the white claw thing but that was a meta bit and honestly i'd view it more like the quote "pass the weed thing", which i ALSO have just. removed from my personal sphere of canon because as the campaign progressed and condi and the others got more clear grasps on their characters it became pretty clear to me that isaac isn't the type to purposefully try and get his friends in trouble, especially not in trouble with their parents. and also it was charlie who said that isaac does that, and charlie at that point in time, like us the audience, didn't know isaac that well)

in his case...yeah, isaac ABSOLUTELY engages in self-destructive behavior, but it's not through substance abuse or even actions (though he does take unnecessary risks sometimes, he's actually a LOT more cautious than he seems on a surface level). it's through relationships. with his father, with william, with his mother, hell, even with norah and lui! these are all relationships that, intentionally or not, indirectly or not, hurt him, and yet he seems to refuse to change them or even leave them. and, yes, with some—like his parents—he can't really change the relationship himself. but with others—his friends—he can. idk. there's more nuance to it than that (for example the "refuses" is a bit of a strong word for what he does but i couldn't find a better one) but that's the gist of it

norah's parents are doctors so i imagine she'd be hyperaware of the risks + she cares a lot about her reputation, so i don't think she'd do any of that stuff. not to mention she already has to deal with (auditory) hallucinations and is on several different medications*—i don't think she'd do anything that could make her hallucinations worse or react badly to her meds.

once again i am suffering the curse of not having much to say about lui but wanting to have much to say—anyways i just think lui wouldn't have much interest in alcohol or drugs or anything similar, simple as that. he has his occult stuff, his ghosts and cryptids and the like. he doesn't need anything else to make his life interesting or to destress!

sorry this post ended up just being mostly isaac again i did not intend that it just. happened. The Mind Virus 😔

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

where's the "do i really love them romantically? or did i just convince myself i do?

where's the "am i still really aromantic? what if it was just a phase? what if i'm normal, actually?"

where's the "what even is romantic love. what even is the difference being romantic love and platonic love. nothing is inherently romantic, it all depends on intent. but that can't be the only difference, can it? then people could just chose to be in love. but that's not how it works, is it?? "

where's the not being aro enough for aro spaces but being too aro for allo spaces

where's the "i keep falling for my friends and it keeps costing me friendships. help!"

where's the "what even is dating. how does that even work"

where's the not getting crushes. it's either completely fully in love or nothing

where's the being perfectly happy without a romantic partner, but also happy if you happen to have one

where's the needing unusually long to get over a relationship and detangle yourself

where's the "love at first sight is fake, it doesn't work like that"

where's the "i don't know you well enough yet to be romantically interested in you. i don't even know you well enough to know if i could be romantically interested in you"

where's the usual aro stuff. having difficulty with romantic relationships or situations without knowing why. not being able to relate when others talk about their crushes and relationships. advice always being either "talk about it" or "break up" if asked. feeling like there's something wrong with you bc you don't work like everyone else

demiromantic people are still aromantic. you can't use that as a cop out to write aro characters as if they're allo

Bell Hooks already wrote about this years ago. Black feminist authors have been speaking about this longer than half of these people have been alive, and trans women have also been talking about the horrors of having patriarchal masculinity forced onto them at young ages and how this manifests into transmisogyny that kills trans women and girls.

This is such a vital conversation in feminist circles and is one of the pillars of patriarchy that needs to be dismantled, and yet we’re not making space for that conversation to be had because “men don’t belong in feminism,” despite the fact that men are not the only people affected by this; this enforced masculinity roots itself into those viewed as young boys by society and grows more and more fatal if those young “boys” deviate from it either through gender or sexuality, or if those boys are POC.

I don’t know much about Jack Thorne, but Adolescence was specifically made as a damning criticism of incel culture and how dangerous incels can be towards women, but the other side of this criticism is acknowledging how young boys are groomed into this culture in the first place. Unpacking why young boys are vulnerable to this grooming is just as important in actually deconstructing incel spaces altogether, but people only want to do half of the work.

Yes, it is up to cis men to create these spaces for themselves to discuss the ways in which patriarchy hurts them, and it’s not women’s responsibility to teach them this. However, at the very least, we can’t fight back at the very idea of cis men being included in feminism, because closing your eyes and sticking your fingers in your ears over certain aspects of patriarchy’s harm is never going to help dismantle it. Especially when some of those issues facing cis men can intersect into issues that affect those who aren’t cis men, but experience those issues in even more dangerous ways.
