#stop spreading misinfo and being an abuse apologist idk

[infernalurge]

idk why this fandom has such an issue with acknowledging abuse when it isn't Astarion but Gale was pretty obviously abused and groomed and I would rather people in denial of this unfollow me :|

grooming is also not a minor-specific act so trying to use his age as a reason he wasn't abused is pretty dumb and shows both your ignorance and that you don't take abuse on adults seriously. like suddenly cults and brainwashing and power imbalances and human trafficking doesn't exist because you just don't want to see Gale as a survivor of abuse himself lol?

it basically comes down to people being ignorant about what grooming is in wider terms. and even if you want to ignore the actual definition of grooming and how adult survivors are impacted, Mystra is still a GODDESS. if anyone is able to exact a power imbalance on someone equivalent to the traditional child-grooming that you think is the only type to exist, it would be a Goddess to her Chosen

this is also ignoring the fact that he started discovering his powers around 8 and Mystra would have been aware of him immediately?

also-also ignoring Minsc outright describing how magical boys in his village were hidden away from Mystra?

just how is this even an argument? you are simply wrong...

#really though you're all just dumb and uneducated and should stay away from survivors #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #fandom critical #you will literally hear the term grooming in fucking legal courts #and in therapy groups #you people are so far removed from the reality of survivors it kind of drives me nuts #literally the only survivors you undeerstand are hamfisted stereotypes like the vsmpire twink #who complain all the time about being survivors and make it perfectlyobvious they're survivors #y'all talk about “the bad survivor” or “the ideal survivor” and completely sleep on how Gale is literally the “bad survivor”trope #and both the game and fandom blame him for it lol #this isn't even an opinion thing btw #because you are factually wrong #you can scream and cry that YOU don't wantto use the word grooming like that #but it doesn't change the fact that every institution that matters #uses the word grooming like that #stop spreading misinfo and being an abuse apologist idk

Cause i’m feeling like it and Ciara is a friend and seeing slander and misinfo is always annoying. Let’s go through @twifox-the-queer’s fun little analysis of Ciara they so helpfully put in a google doc 

-No one has to know what Hermitcraft or anything off the DSMP is if they don’t want to. However DSMP fans across the board have often faced unwarrented negativity from Hermitcraft stans if you’re wondering where we’re coming from

-She absolutely knows what SBI is and who’s in it what? 

-Absolutely wrong she can for sure have crit of Dream he hasn’t done anything worth even wondering about lately. And it’s tiring as hell to rehash old drama that was either fake in the first place or apologized for. 

-Yeah I think Ciara can actually tell the difference between the Florida Man and the green murder guy she just happens to like them both a lot. 

-Again no one has to care at all about other forms of Minecraft content. That’s just quite simply not how things work.

-You seem to actually have an issue with the idea that people outside of the Dream Team can be worthy of crit so I don’t see how this is a problem on her. Go look in the Dream neg tag if that would make you feel better I guess. 

-Superiority or inferiority pick one pls. Anyways weird how you go on and on about mental health and neurodivergent and never once stopped to think of her in any way but neurotypical. and this isn’t criticism what you’re doing btw just so you know

-You’re literally just making stuff up at this point. No one defends everything Dream has said and done not even Dream. You have constructed a narrative in your head and with no evidence are trying to impose the caricature of what you believe a toxic Dream stan to be on the blog of the day you think harassing is okay 

-She actually likes Techno so no fucking clue where you got any of that from. 

-you quite simply defined empathy here so not sure if you really even bothered to google stuff

-Fun thing about fiction you don’t have to care that the bad guy is the bad guy. You know the Avengers? remember when Loki killed all those people? I thought it was great and funny and he was the best. No one would have called me a idk hostile takeover mass murderer apologist? Like you need to think about the terms you are using and the context you are using them in. It is absolutely inappropriate to call someone a real life abuse apologist because you personally can’t handle differing opinions about a fictional media. She can say c!Dream is the hero of the story and that he’s done no wrong ever and you can shut the fuck up and get over it, it doesn’t effect you in anyway. 

-No one is being called a freakshow for mental illness it’s for things like starting drama for no reason other than to be annoying... kinda like you’re doing now. Someone starting a spectacle for attention. if you were offended you could say something. but like dude ableism is not when someone on the internet calls you out for being weird towards them. 

-The kys jokes she makes with her friends are quite simply none of your business grow up a little 

-Please for the love of god do not throw around terms like that when you clearly do not know what they mean. As someone who does suffer from intense paranoia and derealization sometimes her blog is fine everything is taggable she’s completely open to tagging. You are spreading dangerous misinfo by just adding buzzwords in here 

-not sure why you added stuff about the lore onto this incredibly inappropriate call out doc but sure let’s go with it you straight up disproved everything you said about the sympathy thing right here so A+

Anyways all in all you should really sit down and think about what you’re doing here. It’s not healthy. I’m all done interacting here but I hope you take some of this to heart and hopefully move on to other things to occupy your time.
