Sometimes when Donny made his jokes specifically the stand up ones and no one else laughed I was laughing my ass off like after his big break on stage and then he goes "I actually don't know how to end this. Oh no I do-" and then played the condom recording, laughed my ass off. The crowd was dead silent though so yk Donny I'm your number one supporter shit was hilarious
Binge watched Baby Reindeer and it has to be the most perfect depiction of how people react to trauma and its evolvement. As one reviewer said, “If theres any take away from that series, is that there’s no such thing as perfect victimhood.” The turmoil and confusion Donny faced through the series was just so real. I still struggle to this minute with conflicting thoughts and coping with PTSD-I’ve never felt more SEEN in my day-to-day struggle. Baby Reindeer 100% is the series of the year for me. I left that show understanding myself just a little bit more.
Out of all the traumatic scenes in Baby Reindeer, it was the scene of the rap*st telling Donny that his video was very brave disturbed me the most. Physically ill.
Baby reindeer was brutal, triggering, uncomfortable, honest and beautiful. One of the best portrayals of someone with sexual trauma I've ever seen on TV.
This is just gonna be me yelling into the void but!! peoples reactions to ‘baby reindeer’ are pissing me off and its so obvious they don’t understand CPSTD!!! ‘omg why did he try to relive his trauma’ ‘why did he go back to his groomer’ ‘hes a weirdo for getting off to his stalker’ these are all totally common reactions to sexual trauma!!! shakinf you by the shoulders.. saying shit like that is only reinforcing to the people who have experienced similar and related to that show that their trauma reactions are gross or make them stupid or a bad person. grooming and sexual trauma fuck you up real bad!!! its normal to act irrationally or in a way which makes the situation worse!! its common to try to re-experience it to try to take control! and its still! never! your! fault! screams!
