First of all, I donāt think we need to break mutual over this.
I want to be clear that Jasmine (šš) who was the one posting yesterday does have the most extreme opinion about this, and probably would say that she disagrees that any teen can ever abuse their parents.
Most of us, myself included, would agree that there probably are some edge cases where an older teenager could abuse a parent.
I also think thereās a distinction to be made about abusive behavior vs abuse.
That said, I need to be really clear that Jasmine and the rest of us were extremely triggered, in the literal cptsd reaction sense, yesterday by the discussion about children abusing their parents.
We were pretty horrifically abused in ways that I donāt want to discuss, and a major part of the lasting trauma of it was that we were constantly being told that we were not being abused and that we were in fact abusing our parents.
We heard our whole livesā from the time we were helpless 6 year olds through when finally we escaped our parents house where we had essentially been held captive until we were in our 20s thatā that we were the ones at fault and our behavior was abusive.
We have PTSD about this to the point where it has become pretty clear that we cannot even hear people talking about āchildren abusing their parentsā without assuming that an abused child is being victim blamed and losing our minds about it.
So no, we donāt want to break mutual.
But if we see someone on our dashboard talking about ābeating bratsā (as was the whole reason this started) or we see a discussion about child abuse that frames children as likely abusers of their parents we are likely to have a bad reaction that we cannot control.
Thanks for listening, and I hope we can still be friends despite this whole thing.
Alright guys, I’ve come to make a confession. I… don’t really like Danganronpa V3. *ducks beneath a desk* Not to say it’s bad, it’s a good game! I’m just not into the whole alternate universe, everything from the rest of the series was fictional thing. It’s fine as a standalone, just not something I personally liked storywise.
I thought that was a common opinion. Cause I’ve never seen anyone say anything positive about this game besides who they think is their favorite character.
I genuinely thought more people liked it, but I don’t spend any time in most of the actual fandom spaces. There’s so many antis in the fandom that I just keep to the small group of people I like lol
I am still baffled that there are antis in the teen murder fandom. But part of me has a feeling why, because of V3’s message on “fiction vs reality.” Which really lacked the nuance of the whole affect both fiction and reality has on each other. Especially when the whole “everything was fake” twist ends on the actions of the real world affecting those semi-forced to participate in a killing game they don’t even remember agreeing to.
I… hadn’t thought about it that way before, but you might be onto something
Yeah honestly there is some very “anti aligned” messaging in v3 when you think about it… Huh.
i think a lot of the magic of this shithole website actually comes from the fact that the search feature is completely uselessā¦ like the fact that you quite literally cannot search for a post even if you type it in word for word means that all the classic, beloved, and infamous posts are these ephemeral things that only come around every so often and can only be found organically when they happen to make it to your dash like a flock of rare migratory birds
