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

haunting adeline is becoming a film, and this is so dangerous for so many reasons. The book itself is already harmful to many survivors, and it is overall just disgusting. I don't even know HOW or WHY it was passed to become a movie. It's NOT dark romance. It's not romance at all. Sexual abuse should never be taken lightly, and surely can't be NORMALIZED. And what I'm extremely worried about is that men will see this movie and think women want to be treated like that because it's "romantic." And what do you think that will lead to? My stomach hurts for what's going to happen. This disgusting book should have never been turned into a movie.

Please repost this, share, or anything. This is very serious and needs attention brought to it. And if you're comfortable, I urge everyone to sign a petition to get the film stopped.

The link is right here. No pressure if that's an uncomfortable thing for you, but the more people sign, the better.

I'm going to tag everyone, but please just tell me to remove you if it makes you uncomfortable, I never want to put someone in that situation.
