Jesus christ there was so much shit brought up by this H/lluva B/ss episode huh?

Like it genuinely makes me uncomfortable the level that some stans are willing to do to defend V/vziepop just because she's an "indie" artist, from harrassment to blaming people for being upset to just borderline gaslighting sometimes?

Like I hate to use too strong of words but things like "actually it's your fault for reading too deep into these things" after saying "don't worry [x] character is going to get deeper don't you worry!!" make me think of gaslighting, even if that's not quite the term to use.

Also the vibes of "it's actually your fault if you find trouble with something" is absolutely rancid.

Like god forbid people ask for a goddamn trigger warning for something like domestic abuse that isn't played off for jokes. And honestly the fact that I have to put something like that just says how low of a bar my brain has sometimes.

Like, if something like SA or abuse that's played for jokes, I can tolerate it, mostly because pop culture has normalized those things being joked about. Mind you, I still won't like it, but I'll tolerate it.

But, if it's played for straight and is supposed to be emotional, then put a fucking trigger warning.

Hell, even for the above, you should STILL trigger warning it, because I (unlike the braindead stans of this show) acknowledge that my standards are not the same as other and I have the decency to acknowledge that people have different triggers, likes, and dislikes, so will need warnings and tags about what is connected.

You can tag something without "spoiling" it, and if that's the reason why she didn't tag something like that, then I'm going to be pissed.

Sorry about the rant, I just suddenly felt like. A lot of emotion bubble up and I needed to let it out. I mostly typed this out to get it out, but if anyone wants to talk about it, feel free to reblog and add your own thoughts about this whole thing.

I might be a little late to responding, but I'll try to reblog replies to this.
