The crippling fear of intimacy. The burning desire of intimacy. The even burnier desire for that intimacy to come from a specific person. The internalized homophobia. The general insecurity about her own body. The fact that she can see her partner's internals the entire time, and judge her performance.

I hate Sidepiece so much.

I HATE HER.

I've mentioned it before on other servers and on the subreddit, but she is the one character that I hate the most in all of Parahumans.

For context of those who may have forgotten: Mockument creates a clone of Victoria that represents all the worst parts of herself and her fears, so it's highly sexualized, naked, and depressed, and constantly gushing about how much it wants to be mind-raped by Amy again.

Sidepiece, upon learning that Victoria was raped, then proceeds to mock her for being raped.

I. Flipped. My. Shit.

When I worked with EMS, I met awful, awful people in the field and outside of it who made rape jokes about victims/survivors we treated.

As I am studying in Psych, I've met fellow students who don't understand why it's traumatizing and didn't bother to hide joking about it, even when some students implied they suffered from it.

I have seen politicians on air talk about how rape is partially the victims fault and mock them in every way under the sun.

Fuck that.

Fuck Sidepiece.

Amy does evil things, but she is also genuinely mentally ill and easily manipulated. She's still a piece of shit person, but you expect that from a rapist.

Marquis makes incest jokes at Victoria, but he's also Amy's number 1 fan and enabler of her worst tendencies. You expect him to do that.

Sidepiece was a villain and potential murderer, and she definitely set the heartbroken on fire (for daring to defend themselves from being chopped up), but it wasn't until this point that I internalize, "Wow, you are absolute garbage of a human being."

Yellow warbler or on Tumblr is it Warblr?
