And the fact that's this surgery is sort of kinda pretty common and never being discussed

This is actually a massive form of deformimisia that I was going to eventually make a more in-depth post about, so I will take the opportunity to do so now!

The removal of extra/duplicated body parts on children is a blatant act of mutilation and violation of physical consent and bodily autonomy.

This happens to people with extra/duplicated limbs (toes, fingers, feet, legs, arms, etc), extra/duplicated craniofacial traits (lips, mouth, nose, eyes, ears, etc), extra/duplicated torsal traits (ribs, spine, etc), and even extra/duplicated organs (though sometimes the removal of these traits are life-saving, if the duplication is incomplete in a manner that disrupts organ function - but its not always medically necessary, and thats the point I'm getting at.)

This also happens to people born with body parts that are not usually seen on the human body (ie; humans born with tails).

Oftentimes, this mutilation is done under the guise of "reducing future ableism" (ie; being bullied for looking different), but in reality, by eradicating differences, you're just reinforcing the ableist beauty standards that would cause this bullying in the first place.

Another "reason" that is often given is that it's "removal of unnecessary body parts", especially when the extra parts are non-functional. But why does something need to be functional to deserve to exist? What if the person in question comes to enjoy their extra parts? What if they wish to decorate it with tattoos and body modifications? What if they just appreciate its presence because it's part of their body, and that makes it special?

There is a prisoner on level three, in a cell that feels lived in.

The other cells are empty, bare. Cold stone and unlocked doors. This one, too, has an unlocked door, and floor and walls of stone, but there is a shelf against the wall and a raised slab in the middle and in the corner-

In the corner there are blankets. Two blankets, and a bowl of clean water, and a long chain that is bolted to one wall and leads to said blankets, or rather, to the prisoner curled up in them. It attaches to the collar around his neck, but he has no other restraints, and a visitor might be tempted to think he could take it off, until they see his hand. There is only one remaining, and it is missing all its fingers and the knuckles that remain are damaged by fire. The nose, too, is missing, and the tips of the ears and both legs at the knee and-

And were a visitor there, he would greet them. Would shut his eyes a little tighter at the light they bring, too used to complete darkness. Would wait for their reply with the patience of someone grown comfortable in silence. But he would like to know the purpose of their visit. Would like to know what they desire.

After all, he would like to accommodate them, if they have come to use him for something, for pain or for pleasure. He would like to enjoy the company, if they have come to talk, to ask questions.

He will have to turn them down, if they have come with an offer of escape.

What if we just brutally tortured our favs

Like put them in a meat grinder but lovingly

Lock them out of the house. Acid rain! They corrode. I think that would be really neat

Chat is it wrong to mutilate your favorite characters affectionately
