I just wanted new pretty banner. <3
spinaraki e-couple discourse where shigaraki gets mad at his little kitty for not answering his 1am league of legends game request in the public LoL discord server đź’”
(never thought I would actually see e-couples fighting on discord but I guess there's a first time for everything)
NO WAY NO WAAAAAAAYYYY ARE PEOPLE DOING THAT. DERANGED. anyways i do think it would be funny in a fucked up way if shigaraki tried to make it so that spinner conformed to his own wake-sleep-game schedule regardless of insomnia but he isn't subtly manipulative enough to trick spinner into it. luckily spinner has no friends who are capable of talking to him about red flags and also spinner thinks it's really romantic that shigaraki wants to spend that much time with him 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ok ummm sorry but why are people talking suddenly like irl domestic violence victims get any sort of widespread sympathy or support??? like, for one, let’s just establish that it’s silly to complain that real, living, breathing people are being treated with more sympathy than a fictional character. but even that alone would also be completely wrong, because… rl victims are not treated well at all??? did we just forget all the victim-blaming, the slander, the cross-examining, the doubt, and the legal institutions that are weaponized against rl victims all the time???
if you somehow see someone condemning rl abuse but dismissing fictional abuse, it’s because they only care about rl abuse in the broadest and most conceptual sense. rl abuse is hated as a contextless idea, or when it’s committed by someone the person doing the condemning doesn’t care about, like some dude they’ve never talked to or some celebrity they have no personal attachment towards. condemnation of, like, weinstein, who most people do not know anything about nor care about, is not the same as popular support for victims as a whole. compare the reactions to weinstein vs reactions to johnny depp or even (god) joe biden. the difference is entirely in how much attachment people have to these abusers.
a character like endeavor makes people trot out an entire circus’ worth of excuses not because these people actually care about irl abuse as opposed to fictional abuse, but because the narrative gives endeavor a way of playing on people’s heartstrings and allowing them to nurture an attachment to him, which they will then vigorously defend even at the expense of his victims. they do this as well with rl abusers who they particularly like or have some sort of connection to. it’s not that ppl’s condemnations of abuse are either existent or non-existent—it’s that they’re frequently circumstantial.
please, let’s be finished with the insinuations that rl victims receive care and support or even, like, lip service that isn’t getting extended to fictional characters.
