velvety arms of the night

its just so baffling because it seems like they deeply resent that they have to like deal with the fallout of horribly abusive relationships or like think about the implications of what they wrote but its like literally nobody forced you to make the show just about abusive relationships like this you did this.. this was the adaptational choice you made why are you mad

I do consider Louis offhand remark about being a csa victim to be on the smaller side in terms of problems this season. I don't think sexual abuse always needs to be represented as the most devastating traumatizing event of someone's life. It really is anecdotal for many people, they don't regard it with any more weight than any other memory of being confused and uncomfortable as a child. and in fact its something I especially see with cocsa. I don't think people would be nearly as upset if he had mentioned something non sexual like being beaten by an adult. I don't even think its out of character for Louis "I am not victim" du lac to treat such a vulnerable memory as fodder to comfort another person, or even to test the waters of how honest he can be with someone. Hell I'd even argue the specific detail of "he gave me a dollar" is soooo relevant to how Louis treats his body as a transactional device throughout the series. The problem here is that I'm giving the writers way too much grace. They've given no proof that theyre willing to consider the pain of their black characters in any way that doesn't directly serve lestat. There's no evidence they considered the implications of this addition on Louis' character at all as is the case for most of his scenes this season.

[Medicine and the law of gender binarism portray the process of transsexuality as a narrow and dangerous path, a definitive, irreversible mutation, that can be achieved only in extreme conditions, such that few people, as few as possible, would be able to follow that path. I, however, would say that the path is easier and more pleasant than most of the experiences and experiments that the dominant discourse suggests are desirable and obligatory and which have been legitimized by medical and judicial institutions. In itself, gender transition is easier to accomplish than going to school every day at the same time throughout the long years of childhood and adolescence, easier than a faithful monogamous marriage, easier than pregnancy and childbirth, easier than starting a family, easier than finding a rewarding full-time job, easier than being happy in a consumer society, easier than growing old and being shut away in a retirement home. I would go so far as to say that, contrary to what is routinely claimed, the mutation process that accompanies gender transitioning is one of the most beautiful and joyous things that I have ever done in my life. All the things that are terrible and terrifying about transsexuality and gender transitioning are not found in the process of transition itself, but in the way in which the boundaries between the sexes punish and threaten to kill anyone who dares cross them. It is not gender transitioning that is horrifying and dangerous, but the regime of sexual difference.]
