One thing that drives me mad about this show is it kinda just picks and chooses when you should take abuse seriously or not.
When Gangle is being physically abused, made fun of and sexually blackmailed with her drawings and figures, it’s apparently just for shits and giggles while Gangle is left to suffer with only Zooble willing to help her.
When Ragatha opens up about her abusive mother, it cuts to the characters giving blank stares then it’s just brushed aside. When she was thrown into the deep fryer, writhing in pain, it’s supposed to be funny.
Meanwhile J*x talks about the abuse she went through and it’s meant to be taken seriously and be tragic.
Abuse isn’t something that you just play around with and choose when it’s important. Abuse is something SERIOUS that actually ruins people’s lives, so having Gangle and Ragatha’s abuse be downplayed and used as jokes is just extremely fucked up to me, especially since I’ve been in Gangle’s shoes before and relate to her deeply.
How am I supposed to take one characters abuse story seriously if it just points and laughs at another characters abuse story? Do you want me to laugh at their suffering or feel bad for them?
