#Rape Mention

Note
Has it ever occurred to you that you depict Hiccup as far weaker, effeminate, submissive and frail than canon to feed stereotypical strong man dominating weak man seme/uke fuel?
What the actual fucking hell is this ask?
Has it ever occurred to you that being a bottom doesn’t make you effeminate?
Has it ever occurred to you that being raped doesn’t make you effeminate?
Has it ever occurred to you that feeling pain and showing emotion doesn’t make you effeminate?
You can fuck all the way off with that attitude. What a disgusting ask to send.

All righty here's the
Sex ed/gender/relationships post for people who grew up conservative Christian
by someone who was homeschooled in the Bible Belt and surrounded by that kind of thing.
I've had to have these conversations with people irl and it's become a list of things in my head, so here
The girls who are dressing "immodestly," wearing super short shorts, showing cleavage? They are probably not trying to attract male attention or thinking about what other people think of them at all. The clothes you were raised to see as "immodest" do not, to 90% of people, belong in a distinct category, nor do people usually make clothing decisions based on the amount of "showing skin."
Men aren't "visual beings" or otherwise so different from women that they need women to cover their legs and stomachs to avoid some sort of uncontrollable sexual response. Some men in leadership roles in churches are just creepy perverts.
Masturbation isn't inherently linked to porn. I don't know why people think this. People masturbate using nothing but their own imagination.
Most people do not feel like shit after they masturbate. If you do, it's probably because you're dealing with a ton of anxiety and guilt over it.
Masturbation has a ton of health benefits, it's relaxing, it's fun, it allows you to explore your body and what feels good to you, and it absolutely is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere. Even if you weren't ever outright taught it was bad, you might be anxious about whether it's okay. It is. It's normal.
If you have a vagina: you don't have to put your fingers up in your vagina to masturbate, and plenty of us don't. You'll probably get better results by just rubbing the clitoris or around it.
I know you might have been told that The World will laugh at you for being a virgin, but in actual "liberal" "progressive" social circles, no one cares.
Men don't necessarily want sex more than women, or have a higher sex drive than women. (Throughout ancient and medieval times it was widely thought that women wanted sex more, and were more vulnerable to sexual temptation.) Libido just varies from person to person. Some people (male and female) have a very high sex drive, others (male and female) are not, and will never be, interested in sex at all.
Men can be raped. Women can be rapists.
Skills you have in relating to the same sex also apply to "opposite" sex relationships. 99% of the time, when people think they can't understand their partner because they're not the same gender, it's just that they don't talk to each other.
Sex isn't supposed to hurt. The hymen is a real thing and it can "break" the first time a person experiences vaginal penetration, but many instances of blood and pain during sex are not because of this, but instead because the penetrating partner tore delicate tissues by being too rough or because you weren't ready. You DO NOT have to just force your way through this, and in fact you should definitely stop if this is happening to you. The vagina lubricates itself with slippery fluid when you're aroused. Being comfortable and aroused also helps your muscles relax.
If you have a vagina, I totally recommend putting a hand-held mirror between your legs so you can actually see everything.
The great majority of people with a vagina have been penetrated with fingers before they tried it with a penis, and have had their vulva rubbed and touched before they tried sticking anything at all inside their body.
That is to say: If the most intimate thing you have ever done is kiss someone, it probably isn't a good idea to try penetrative sex your "first time" doing something sexual, as in the way your "wedding night" is supposed to go. There are usually multiple steps before you're ready for that, both mentally and physically.
I don't mean "when you have sex, do these things first" (though that's a good idea). I mean that people often try a lot of touching each other over their clothes and putting their hands down each other's pants and pleasuring each other with hands before they try penetrative sex, and sometimes they get naked but don't have Actual Penetrative Sex, and sometimes they take off some of their clothes but not all of them.
None of these things necessarily creates a slippery slope to anything else. Sex doesn't "just happen" because you took off your bra or let someone put their hand in your pants. Your partner HAS to make sure you're comfortable with doing a new thing, no matter what you are currently doing. If you "ended up" doing something you didn't want to do, it wasn't your fault, no matter what you were doing beforehand. I promise.
Penetrative sex isn't the best way to feel pleasure for everyone, and it isn't something that everyone wants at all. There's really no "default" way to have sex. There's no act that feels good for everyone.
People sometimes feel silly or embarrassed their first time having sex, and trying a new thing can always make someone a little bit nervous, but you're not supposed to be scared or feeling dread or anxiety.
You will have to talk to your partner about sex. It is a part of a healthy sexual relationship. People that have good sex, talk about sex. If you literally can't imagine yourself doing this, idk what to say except you've got to get past it somehow. Mortifying ordeal of being known is mortifying.
You will have to get comfortable with referring to your own, and your partner's, body parts in some way, or it will be a struggle. You can use whatever words you and your partner are cool with, but there isn't anything inherently wrong, bad, or degrading about saying "pussy" or "dick" or "cock" or other more blunt-sounding terms.
Wanting to do things with nipples is common and okay and normal, wanting to do things with butts is common and okay and normal, and that thing you want that seems a little weird is also okay and probably very common and normal. Seriously, I PROMISE almost everyone has desires outside of "penis goes into vagina in missionary position," and it's perfectly fine to want to explore them. Make sure your partner is comfortable with it if you want to give it a try, and you're good.
I know there are others and I'll add them if I think of them, but these are the things that I see the most bad information about and/or the things that have come up in conversation with people with a similar background to mine.
I think a lot of these are things that are assumed obvious, but it's easy to miss them if you never got good sex education that addresses the fact that you grew up with certain misconceptions

It has come to my attention that there are people that don't know about the horrors of residential schools and why we're canceling the fourth of july so I'll explain to the best of my ability.
Residential schools were institutions in which native children were held captive under the guise of educating them. These children were stolen away from their families and the goal was to "kill the indian, save the man" by eradicating native culture from these children's lives. They were forced to cut their hair, they were not allowed to speak in their native tongue nor leave to see their families. They were kept in poor living conditions conducive to illness and were punished harshly. Many children died at residential schools and their culture was stolen from them. It wasn't until 1996 when the last residential school was closed.
Tumblr media
Earlier this year a mass grave was found on the grounds of kamloops residential school, 215 bodies were discovered, some of the children as young as three. These children were stolen from their homes and never returned. There has been a call for residential schools to be searched and the children lost to residential schools to be mourned. This is happening in both canada and the united states and protests will be held on canada day and the fourth of july. To show your support you can wear orange and spread awareness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you can, find a protest near you and let these children's voices be heard. Thousands of innocent children were kidnapped and killed then thrown into unmarked graves. Their lives must be honored and mourned.
Remember that the fourth of july did not mark freedom for everyone.

Almost fell for a post saying “yeah, y’know, Shinigami Eyes is useful but it’s making me uncritical” and informing them that the bit they platformed after about its creator being a r*pist was COMPLETELY unsourced (again) only to stop myself & actually check their blog. Would you believe it, they’re a r*dfem. I almost got fucking baited into thinking your ass was a rational human being I could warn was spouting bad info.
You fucking clowns are really just trying to talk people out of the device that helps them spot you huh.

when gillian flynn said “I’ve grown quite weary of the spunky heroines, brave rape victims, soul-searching fashionistas that stock so many books. I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains. Not ill-tempered women who scheme about landing good men and better shoes (as if we had nothing more interesting to war over), not chilly WASP mothers (emotionally distant isn’t necessarily evil), not soapy vixens (merely bitchy doesn’t qualify either). I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.”

“TERFs love trans men cuz y’all got wombs and titties. They worship you, you entitled babies. So quit whining about how radfem rhetoric hurts you, you’re stealing attention from their ACTUAL victims.” 
Fun fact TERFs think its hilarious to infiltrate online communities of trans men by pretending to be one of us and then deliberately spread false information about HRT, binding, and top surgery in order to scare trans men away from seeking gender affirmation so they have a higher chance of “fixing” us. 
They also vocally fantasize about performing corrective rape on us and exchange tips on triggering dysphoria in us if we “annoy” them and refer to our gender affirmation surgeries as “mutilation” and in private TERF space they don’t even call us “trans men” they call us “transitioning lesbians” because they assume we’re just cis butches who were “pressured by our doctors and parents” into transitioning. 
So the next whiny cis idiot who wants to open their disgusting mouth and act like my pronouns make me immune to their violence can kindly go live in a log in the Black Forest for a year or two.  
Also. For the FUCKING RECORD. The rampant fetishization of trans men as sexual objects for the consumption of cis women is not acceptance anymore than the rampant fetishization of lesbians and trans women is.

If requests are still open can you please do a yandere Thomas Shelby during season 1, where during Grace’s spying and trying to get closer to him, Tommy himself isn’t interested in getting closer to her, he instead see’s her as an obstacle and distraction as he’s trying to get closer to the reader whose a family friend he’s been trying to court for years. (You can decide how he deals with Grace because she’s “in the way”)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thomas breathed hard on his knuckles as his fingers brushed along his lips. The more he concentrated, the sooner he would figure everything out. He knew he had all of the pieces. They were laid out right front of his nose. He counted them with his eyes.
The first piece was the IRA. If this sale of guns goes through smoothly and cleanly as possible, it still wouldn’t satisfy him. Something itched him about it. Thoughts continued to gnaw at him when he looked at Grace Burgess. The new barmaid that looked too educated, too refined to be here. Harry Fenton hired her. He told Thomas ‘she sings like she’s the heart of Galway herself’. She bothered him too. Just like the IRA. Something about Grace gnawed at him.
Then there was the last piece. You.
You were family. Actually, you were much more than that. Ever since the day Thomas Shelby tasted the whiskey on your mouth, he swore God existed in some capacity. Every time, he had the privilege of touching you. A brush of fingers, cheek-to-cheek dancing, a lingering embrace. You felt like heaven to touch. It had been a slow process over the past three years. Arthur and John knew you were off limits. Anyone employed under the Peaky Blinders knew you were off limits.
So, why was it that Grace felt the need to put herself between you and him? Why was it that when Billy Kimber almost raped you Grace came to your safety first? Why was it that Grace spent so much time with you? Was he jealous of a woman spending time with you? No, this was something else. Had to be.
Thomas looked between you and Grace, working and weaving in and out of each other at the pub. Like a braid. Intertwining. A hold.
Thomas’s eyes shot awake as if he woke up from a dream. The more he watched both of you weave in and out of each other, the more it became obvious now. It burned him. Anger grew hungry and his desperate thoughts turned to reality before his very eyes. Every smile or nod you put her way, she returned and studied and observed.
Thomas stayed past close that night. You grabbed his empty glass to clean. Thomas grabbed your wrist, watching Grace’s reaction. He pulled you closer, giving you an incredibly possessive kiss. You pulled back, flushed.
“Thomas! Grace’s right there,” you said, more embarrassed than he wanted.
“Go upstairs and find my watch,” he said. He shook his wrist at you. “Think I lost it up there. Took it off while I polishing it.” You nodded and left him alone with Grace. As she made to leave, Thomas stopped her. He kicked a chair towards her. In silence, she sat down.
“Have I done something, Mr. Shelby?”
“She’s nice, you know.” Thomas started. “I’ve known her since before the war. She’s one of those people that hasn’t been ruined by it. But, that’s her problem. She’s too nice. Do you know how many people think the same way you do?”
“I don’t understand—
“I don’t know how long you planned to keep up this charade,” Thomas interrupted her. “But I do know, I’ve played this game before. And I hate playing this game, Grace. Do you know why?” She shook her head. Thomas watched her shift in her seat. He noticed the way her hand moved into her jacket pocket. “I hate playing this game because I’m the best at it, Grace. That’s how many people have dared to get close to me through her. That’s how many boyfriends she’s lost, how many friends she’s lost, all because you all want me.”
Grace stayed silent. Her eyes darted to the door that led upstairs. Thomas waved his opposite wrist at her, showing off the watch he told you to find.
“Like I said, she’s very nice. And she belongs to me.” Thomas stood up, shoving his hands into his pockets. Grace stood from her chair. She looked to the back exit. “I really don’t appreciate when people lie to her. Or when people like you come into her life and put your claws into her and she gives you all of herself.”
“Mr. Shelby, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but—
“How long were you going to wait to turn her into Inspector Campbell?”
Grace’s hand wrapped around the door handle to the back exit. She jiggled and fussed with it. She started to pull at the locked handle until she saw Thomas’ reflection in the mirrored glass in front of her. As she turned, the razor blade cut into her throat. She immediately grabbed the wound with both of her hands, sliding down the wall. The more she coughed, the more blood escaped her.
Thomas secured his cap back on his head. He covered the blood on his collar by closing his jacket. He leaned down to Grace’s ear.
“You could’ve gotten away with it if you’d stayed out of my way,” he told her. “But that was your problem. You were like everyone else. And she will forget you just like everyone else.” Thomas left her there as he moved towards the base of the stairs. He called for you, apologizing that he actually misplaced his watch behind the bar, and then you left together.
“Oh! Did Grace go home? I didn’t see her leave.” You said.
“Don’t be mad,” Thomas said.
“What?” Your shoulders dropped.
“Grace quit,” Thomas said. He grabbed your pouting face. “Don’t worry! One day, you won’t have to work there anymore! I promise. All part of my big plan, darling.” Thomas stared at your fingers. His mind flipped between engagement rings and craving his name into your knuckles.

BAD SHIT IS HAPPENING IN THE UK
As you may have heard, the UK's Conservative government is pushing through a new bill that essentially makes any kind of protest illegal. Anyone participating in a protest that is considered to be "noisy" or a "serious annoyance", including one-person protests, can fall foul of the proposed new law, and it includes a sentence of ten years in prison for damaging a statue or memorial. Essentially, police will have the power to break up any protest that isn't you whispering quietly in a corner, which is to say, any protest that would be in any way impactful or effective.
They've pushed this bill through in the wake of a peaceful vigil for a woman murdered by a police officer that was violently broken up by police earlier in the week.
Needless to say, there are concerns. Not that they were enough to stop it passing, mind you, given that the Tories can push through any piece of shit they want with their majority; the first-past-the-post system of voting we have here in the UK favours them heavily, and it's no coincidence that they're also changing the voting system for the London mayor, for Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales, and elected mayors in nine English authorities to that very same system. It's not great!
(There's other bullshit in this bill, including things that criminalise an already-disadvantaged group in the Traveller/Roma community. They can now be fined and have their vehicles taken if they don't possess a so-called "Traveller's License". It's just all around a really shitty bill.)
The reason I'm talking to you about this, though, the very specific reason I wanted to make this post, is that the discussion around this bill is a fucking minefield for anyone who seriously subscribes to Tumblr's classic black-and-white moral/political compass.
Everyone pretty much agrees that the bill is terrible and that it's a draconian, authoritarian nightmare. However, there are all kinds of people arguing against it for their own reasons, which means that it's not one of those cases wherein you can just look at the people who are arguing for or against it, see which of them best represent you and your ideals, and decide whether it is Good or Bad.
On one side of the fence, we've got people who are basically decent and who see this for the blatant attack on free speech that it is, a bill pretty transparently being pushed through by a government that is sensing just how hated and mistrusted it is and wants to squash any potential uprisings by the unwashed masses before they happen. So it's Bad, right? It's a Bad bill and you are Good if you argue against it.
But then, on the other side of the fence, we've got all of those people who were getting mad because they couldn't go to the pub or get a haircut, who were angrily complaining about every lockdown and claiming that they were being oppressed, that their rights were being taken away because they were being told to stay at home. They also hate this bill, because they think this is about them. There's swathes of these types on Twitter and elsewhere, saying things like "OH, IT'S DIFFERENT NOW THAT YOUR LOT CAN'T PROTEST, IS IT?? IT WAS FINE FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SILENCE US UNTIL IT STARTED AFFECTING THE LEFT!!!" So they hate it too, because they think it's just an extension of the injustice they've (allegedly) faced already over the course of the last 12 months or so.
So where does that leave you? If people like that are arguing against this bill, and they're Bad, surely that means that the bill is Good and you should be arguing for it and against the Bad people. Right?
No. It's a bad bill. It's a fucking terrible bill and the most blatantly fascist thing the Tories have tried to do in the last ten years. As a long-term disabled person, I can tell you that they've been fascist as hell this whole time, but this is some mask off shit, as the kids say these days. Bad times are coming if this goes through and becomes law. It's going to be difficult to navigate the protest against it, given that that protest is going to be riddled with anti-mask, anti-lockdown fuckwits who will no doubt make it very hard for the rest of us to be taken seriously, but we do have to protest.
God. Imagine thinking that our bourgeois capitalist Tory government actually wanted to put us in lockdown.
They've made a lot of claims about what this bill is actually supposed to achieve, from COVID safety to improving safety for women and girls, but considering that the bill talks about protests that are "noisy" or a "serious annoyance" and has fuck all to do with social distancing or masks or any other COVID prevention measures, and considering that you'll go to jail for longer for hurting a statue than you would for raping a woman, I think it's safe to say that they're lying.
Protest. Protest against this fucking bill, and protest against Tory fascism.

A non-exhaustive list of "Ace Discourse" (Aphobic) topics I've had to deal with:
You can't use #actuallyasexual because the #actually tag style belongs to neurodivergent communities (it doesn't).
The "split attraction model" is bad because it could cause (hypothetical) people to identify as heterosexual homoromantic.
The ace community was invented by David Jay in the early 2000s and asexual people have had no historic involvement in queer spaces.
People who deny their partner sex in a relationship are abusive. People who deny their partner romance are also abusive.
Asexual and aromantic can't be identities (aka nouns) on their own because the words are used as "modifiers" (aka adjectives).
Minors identifying as asexual automatically sexualizes minors who don't identify as such, which encourages pedophilia.
Talking about sex at all with minors is actually pedophilia.
Asexuals are the same as "incels", or involuntary celibates who feel that they are owed sex. Yeah, that makes sense.
Aspec people can't experience compulsive heterosexuality, because that only happens to lesbians.
Aspec people can't experience corrective rape, because that only happens to lesbians.
All oppression all aspec people experience is actually misogyny, racism, ableism, etc. There is nothing unique about oppressing aspecs.
The term "aspec" belongs to the autistic community! Everyone knows autistic people call themselves aspec!
The upside down triangle used by AVEN is stolen from queer people who were targeted by Nazis. (That's not what it means).
Asexual people are inherently serophobic because we all must think sex is gross and people with STDs are bad.
Aspec people are only aspec because of trauma, and they need to heal from that trauma by no longer being aspec.
Aspec people force minors to identify as aspec.
"Allosexual" is stolen from queer communities in Quebec (it isn't). Or, the term assumes gay and lesbian people hold privilege over aspecs.
[Insert a completely made up narrative of an aspec person ruining someone's experience at their school's GSA]
Finally, 'aphobia is a bad word because it assumes me bullying aspecs on the internet is just as bad as being homophobic. :((('
(Also, assuming that all negative and/or violent phobic experiences aspec people have is only ever on the internet)

Do you actually understand what radfems believe? I don't think you do (and no, vague callout posts don't count)
*record scratch*
This is the point where you benevolently instruct me on what radical feminism "really" is, invoking a no-true-scotsman fallacy for the vast majority of radical feminists I have encountered, educating me into a benevolent version of radical feminism that is "just" about recognizing women as an oppressed class, "just" acknowledging biology, "just" about protecting the lesbians that are under imminent threat of being raped by men that use trans inclusive legislation to "access women's spaces."
At which point I am supposed to go, "Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, and I guess the whole TERF thing is piggybacking on a long trend of people hating feminism for no reason!"
Unfortunately for you, you're not the first person to try this, nor am I unfamiliar with the so called Radical Feminists, and I know that what probably appears and feels like innocent and important critical thought is the mouth of a deep pit with hateful bigotry, batshit assumptions, and oppressive, restrictive bio-essentialism at the bottom of it.
You possess only benevolent concern for trans men, until you start calling recipients of mastectomies and hysterectomies "ruined" and "mutilated." You just want to stop abuse, until a woman is alleged to be an abuser, and this doesn't seem possible to you. You just want to acknowledge the reality of biology, until a person born with two X chromosomes and a vagina and labia who also has facial hair and a deep voice wants to use the bathroom, and it feels to you like she shouldn't.
The radfem understanding of "biology" and its importance is wrong. There is no need to "affirm" or "deny" biology. It just is. No matter what your opinion on the nature of intersex conditions, a strict biological sex binary in human bodies objectively does not exist. We are talking about science. There is no "should."
To consider the conditions necessary for reproduction, or anything that is evolutionarily advantageous, as a moral imperative is bonkers. It is not "better" to conform more to a sex binary. God is not watching. My uterus does not "make" me a woman because it's not "for" anything. I potentially CAN become pregnant but biology does not "want" me to, evolution has not made me "for" being a woman, evolution does not think or want or intend ANYTHING. Categorizing people based on which size gametes they could produce under ideal circumstances is 100% a choice.
To judge human reproductive biology as a moral ideal is survivorship bias; yes, we "have to" have "biological sexes" (which really doesnt mean anything outside of having differentiated gametes) to cOnTiNuE aS a SpEcIeS. No, this does not mean that everyone does fall into one of two categories, or that everyone should, or that we should care about the consequences if we don't. "Humans have two sexes except for disorders" is not the objective statement you think it is. On a cosmological scale, life itself is an anomalous disruption of equilibrium. We are disorder.
Y'all are like 4% away from being far-right evangelicals in MANY of your ideas. When you assert that trans men only "identify" as men because they're unhappy and you're only benevolently concerned about them, you're repeating something that homophobic fundamentalists very much do say about lesbians (and the most threatening thing about lesbians to these fundamentalists is their gender non-conformity!) The same group of people cites human reproductive biology as evidence that no one is "really" gay.
And of course, if you take producing eggs as both the fundamental defining quality of a woman and as more sacred or defining than anything else, and you feel entitled to the bodies of trans men to the extent that you think you have any say at all in what medical procedures they do or don't have, you fundamentally don't support reproductive rights. You don't support the rights of women to their own bodies, you don't support the rights of men to their own bodies, and there are indeed many self-identifying "pro-life radfems," who have taken this idea to its logical conclusion.
Do not do this. Stop. Your ideas about trans people are repugnant, don't get me wrong, but fundamentally this stuff hurts everyone. I would not be a "radfem" even if it wasn't for the bigotry toward trans people. The whole ideology is ass backwards. And it is stuffed to the brim with people who are willing to hurt anyone, even those they are supposedly defending, in order to hurt the people they hate.

I think more people need to listen to apostates when they say, hey I was horribly mistreated by the church and here is why. Especially since if you read our stories, most of us have the same experience.
Not all of us were assaulted physically, but most apostates talk about emotional manipulation, scare tactics, guilt tripping, being bombarded with horrific stories to teach lessons, shamed into hating our bodies, etc.
Especially non religious people who blindly support religions because everyone should be allowed to believe what they want!!! are doing so much harm when they try to shut down those who talk about the religious abuse theyve experienced.
I’ve seen abuse survivors called racists, nazis, anti-semite, and more just because they talk about their experiences which dont portray the church in a positive light.
You claim you care about rape victims or you support bodily autonomy but when we call out religions suddenly we are the hateful ones for demanding basic human decency.

Okay so Anakin's conception was, in some manner, related to Dark Sithly Rituals by Plagueis and Sidious. Given that their ritual was "increase darkness" and Anakin was born after, the easy interp is that the Force went "eeeeeeeeeeeeyikes let me try to balance your bullshit with this Nice Young Man, very very far from You."
HOWEVER another option, because Legends is only quasi-canon and so I get to do what I want, is that they were TRYING to make a super-powerful Force baby happen, and the genes had to come from somewhere, and that somewhere was most likely Sidious (since Plagueis is, in fact, a Muun), so Anakin's biological dad is Palpatine because Force Shenanigans.
This is mostly not relevant to anything except a tabloid takes interest in why the Chancellor is so invested in this Random Jedi kid and theories pop up. The easiest assumption is Grooming, but a few throw around 'illegitimate child' as an option, just for kicks. A bored assassin runs a quick heist to get blood samples.
The truth comes out, mostly because the assassin goes "shit, do the Jedi know this? I think I can let them know through Jettster," and does that.
And Anakin.
Poor, little Anakin.
Hears "Palpatine is your biological father" and it pings off of "you have no father" and "my mom was a slave when I was conceived" and enters "Palpatine paid to have sex with a slave, or was bribed with the act, and either way it's rape; the Chancellor raped my mom?"
Because like. Chancellor's a rich dude and Shmi was a slave and there is no way for that to be consensual in the slightest, especially since he didn't even bother to free her.
Which is. Not what anyone wanted and nobody will believe Sheev's claims that he's never met Shmi Skywalker because, well, the proof is right there. He only agreed when the Jedi requested a blood test if it was through his own medical droids (so his midicount wouldn't pop up) and because he rightly thought that he'd never met Shmi in his life and couldn't possibly be Anakin's biological father.
Except he is.
Anyway, Obi-Wan refuses to let Anakin be summoned to the Chancellor's office, mostly because he refuses to let them have contact for Anakin's sake, and partly because he's like 60% sure that a meeting would start with screaming and tears and then progress to a murder attempt and he really does not need his apprentice getting arrested for trying to kill the Supreme Chancellor.
(It's murder and not assassination since the motivation was explicitly personal and not political, But.)
Someone gets to Shmi and she looks at a photo and goes "I've never met this man in my life."
Which people choose (understandably) to believe means she was drugged, except Shmi insists that she remembers all her time, and she'd been very paranoid about it all because Mystery Pregnancy, and obviously the tabloids start drama about memory erasure.
From @atagotiak when I first floated this idea on discord:
Also on Anakin’s side of things, the conclusion he drew would be pretty supported by how Shimi was very insistent on there not being a father. Because sure you could take the literal interpretation of immaculate conception, or you could assume she just didn’t want to talk about the bio father Which means he’s either dead or she doesn’t want him in the picture. Or maybe just not in the picture for less nefarious reasons, but still. Also the rumours about all of this would not be helped by how interested Palps was in Anakin. Like. That implies that whatever happened, Palpatine was aware of his connection to Anakin (which I guess he was, sorta, so that’s accurate) Just “you knew and you didn’t go back for her?” Or something like that Even if he wasn’t implicated in something worthy of removal, his public approval rating would probably take quite the hit.
Palpatine's having a horrible time. (Dooku isn't answering his calls until this blows over.)
Somehow in this whole process, the Jedi get involved because if the current Chancellor purchased the sexual services of a slave while he was a Senator, that's a violation of [legal mumbo jumbo about what political representatives are allowed to do while outside the Republic], and that means he needs to be removed as Chancellor immediately.
And Sheev is just like "I WAS HERE THAT ENTIRE MONTH" except, well, he DID disappear for a week or so to do Sithly Things and people are just like AH HA.
All this because an assassin was reading tabloids and thought getting a Chancellor Blood Sample would be a neat challenge
IDK how they got it. Hacked a med droid, probably. Didn't ping the Sith Senses because it wasn't actually a murder attempt or malicious or greedy, just really bored.
Padme probably reaches out to Anakin. Partly to make sure he's doing okay and partly to apologize for nobody in her government knowing about this.

what's happening in bristol
tws for violence and police brutality
Today (21/03/21) in Bristol there was a #KillTheBill protest held in response to the archaic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill that passed it's second reading in parliament the other day. the bill will, among other things, give a huge increase to the power of the police, and allows them to essentially make all protesting illegal.
Several thousand people in Bristol gathered and marched to the local police station, sitting down and chanting "10 years for protests, five years for rape", referencing the sentencing laws in the new bill.
Tumblr media
Into the evening, protesters and the police began to clash. Projectiles were thrown at the police, and windows of the station were smashed in, culminating at 8:24pm a police van was vandalised and set on fire by protesters.

All of the reporting on the riot has been incredibly biased towards the police and the government, the BBC article specifically making sure to emphasise how the police 'didn't do anything it wasn't their fault honest'. The protesters are being labelled as 'far left extremists' and condemned by many high ranking officials in both Bristol and the UK government as a whole.
#KillTheBill is a massively important movement to stop the tories getting an authoritarian chokehold on the country, and everyone out in Bristol (and the other cities similarly having protests) are fighting for the people of the UK against the elities in Westminster and their archaic new laws. So far two police officers have been injured, and they have none of my sympathies, those are with the protesters bravely out tonight. ACAB.

Well he worshipped demons and demons are real, and the nightstalkers actions are informed by his demon worship. Had he not worshipped demons, he would have not violently raped and murdered people and forced them to worship with him, you see.
If it makes you feel better though most of his victims were white, some were black, a couple were asian, he didn’t target along racial grounds and so he wasn’t problematic at all. He didn’t cause any problems for his victims or for society at large
You realize your entire argument here is based on taking serial killer Richard Ramirez at his word right?
