Nevermind

I do have something to say about Baby Reindeer, and it's not about the show itself but about the viewers

STOP TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO THE REAL-LIFE ABUSERS ARE

Just saw someone on tumblr getting mad over people trying to find out who Richard Gadd's stalker was, but not because that's creepy, no no no, they were mad because they thought that more people should be trying to find out who his sexual abuser was instead because that person is more evil.

Babe...

Has anyone thought that maybe (just maybe) we should not be speculating about any of these people at all? Because that's not the purpose of the show or why Richard Gadd is sharing his story. Plus it's not anyone's business lol, you're meant to watch the show as a viewer. Not as a cop, therapist, or hero. Dunno, just food for thought. Internet mob mentality is seriously ill.

You're not fucking Batman. I'm pretty sure Richard Gadd would not want his abusers to be brought back into his life or tied to him in any form at all. You people are making this so much worse than it should be. Leave this poor man alone and just enjoy the art he has made.

If you wanna analyze it as a work of fiction go ahead. But trying to connect this to the people in Gadd's life is fucking ill and you're no better than his actual stalker (ok maybe that's extreme, I just mean it's fucking creepy)

When you spend so long swallowing your shame, it is so hard to stop it becoming part of you.

the thing that Baby Reindeer most got me at was how it shows how abuse leads you to fumbling the bag even when you don't want to at all, how trying to escape your memories and thoughts rooted on the abuse leads you to screwing up

The entirety of Baby Reindeer is a brutally honest examination of abuse, sexual trauma and some of the coping mechanisms that victims engage in just to get through the day. Its truly heartbreaking.

<<Spoiler below>>>

But I think my heart broke completely in episode 7 when he visits his abuser and is contemplating working with them.

I...

FUCK YOU. YOU FAILED TO BREAK ME.

(Watching this show was one hell of a journey. I hate the fact that so many of us can actually relate to this)

You see… that’s what abuse does to you, you know? It made me this… sticking plaster for all of life’s weirdos. This... this open wound for them to sniff at.

what is it with people hearing a story about a public figure's trauma (intentionally leaving out names) and immediately going "we need to find who they're talking about. i'm going to track them down. for #justice you know. because i care so much about abuse. this is totally the right thing to do and definitely not crossing the boundaries of a trauma survivor and putting them into more danger from their abuser." stop that
