the way DGM tackles institutional abuse really gets me. innocence can only be used by people marked by hardship, who already have nowhere else to go, and the order has monopoly on innocence. (not only will it kill you if you betray it, not only will it hurt the entire time you're dying, it will take down innocent victims along with you). the main characters' boss may be a chill guy, but he has more powerful men above him who don't treat them as human beings. forming bonds in this place you're trapped in is the only way to keep you sane, but ultimately ends up keeping you hostage. now you're stuck in there together, and the one thing that can protect them is the same one that got you in this mess in the first place. welcome home

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people

not now sweetie, mommy is watching how the massive girlbossification of female characters has led to the belief that weak and vulnerable female characters are badly written characters because apparently every woman needs to be outspoken and witty and snarky and brave in order to be considered “complex” and have any value in a piece of media!!
