one of the other reasons why i do not enjoy the juni ba adjacent portrayals of jason in the fandom with his dead eyes, white streak, autopsy scar deal is that. it comes off, to me, as trying to make trauma ornamental. little signposts to show the world that he was dead. whereas the horror of jason's story is that he was dead & the world moved on with no consequences & that he's screaming to be heard with no proof that he was once there & then dead other than his death certificate. bruce removed all traces of him. he wasn't even honoured like other fallen heroes. this isnt to say that all those hcs are inherently bad, i get that we want to make the blorbo look so specialcoolfunky but. to me, its a disservice to his character because he so clearly stands a representation of trauma that is invisible but must be heard. ppl can try to shut him up but he won't because just because they can't see it or try to erase it, doesnt mean it didnt happen.

just like. for the crowd.

#any analysis of class issues in the us that doesn't take anti-black racism into account is a fairy tale#if you haven't come around to the fact that republicans hate black people more than they love god i don't know what to tell you

Rape, said feminists in response, is not caused by the the rapist’s weakness and powerlessness before overwhelming sexual desire, as previous masculinist and patriarchal discourses had insisted, but  the opposite: rape is an expression of not only a will to control and dominate but also a capacity to do so. And I don’t mean capacity in terms of physical strength, although that may be a factor (but, because rape is so often not accompanied by physical force, strength may not even enter the picture); I mean that the rapist always implicitly knows, even if they may consciously hold the anti-feminist beliefs described above, that the mechanisms of legal, social, and gendered power are all really at their disposal, not the victim’s. The capacity to rape is a social capacity, a structural capacity, not a capacity inherent to a type of body or a type of person. 

Them: So you're saying its bad and I shouldn't watch it?
