i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

Not all survivors know they have been raped. Because very often we imagine Sexual assault as well... sex. Violent, unasked for sex, but not that different from consensual sex. It sometimes sounds like an overreaction to call something rape, so victims play down their experiences. And amnesia is a common psychological reaction to what happened.

So, not everyone knows what they've been through is rape or even abuse. Some people have normalised the way they've been abused and think the terms mean something far worse than what they've experienced.

Calling it what it is, IS important! It's the key to understanding your worth, to unlearn acceptance where you should violently defend yourself.

Censoring is the reason that this happens in the first place. 'Don't call it that' is the same as 'hush and endure'

Like, I'm not the biggest fan of TADC, I thought it was fine, but it wasn't what I would call subtle about its themes. TADC exists very firmly in the Millennial Adult Animated series subtype, which means it looks like a kids show, while being about adult emotions, and also states its ideas extremely clearly. There's a bunch of these (BoJack Horseman and Rick & Morty are the big ones in my estimations). They are extremely direct and very blunt, which is in my mind just a neutral statement. Directness is neither positive nor negative

So here comes this show, which spends a huge chunk of its runtime explaining how basically all of the characters are damaged and need to accept themselves to heal, and then spends a MASSIVE chunk of its double length final episode detailing how its biggest piece of shit character became the way she is via a mix of self loathing and fear of her own identity, culminating with her begging the main character not to love her, literally indicating that she believes her own actions have made her irredeemable, AND THEN the whole show emotionally climaxes with said main character embracing her, choosing to love her anyway...

But yeah: this isn't only/REALLY religious; it's political. It's political because the "Protestantism" Brazilians are talking about, which their players are "converting" to, is the same "Protestantism" which supported Bolansaro's wicked regime and provided foot-soldiers for his attempted coup, which in turn is the same "Conservative Evangelicalism" bringing white-supremacy and fascism to the US today under the Republican party, which is In Reality merely The Republican Party picking up a bible and calling itself a religion.

These Players are caping for the SAME ANTIDEMOCRATIC, AntiEgalitarian, Pro-Aristocratic Beliefs that Brazilians kicked out of power 3 years ago, whether they know it or not. They're caping for Global Christofascist Conservatism, whether they know it or not. They're caping for US colonialism, Anglo colonialism, US domination of Brazil, and the FANTASY that their football skills -hard-earned over a lifetime of training and play- are actually in-born signs that god loves them more than everyone else.

men just love to run their fucking mouth about what women do or do not want without even once considering consulting any actual women on the matter
