#Gordy's World

Something I haven’t seen a lot of people talking about in the Nope fandom is how every adult in the audience and on set leaves Jupe to die when the attack starts. This is the pinnacle of exploitation. When Gordy starts attacking everyone flees; nobody thinks about the innocent child trapped on the stage with him as he rampages. So many people made the decision to let this child (who has no idea what to do in this situation; hell most adults wouldn’t know what to do) stay on this set with a raging predator and protect themselves. I know it’s instinct to protect yourself to some degree, but this adds to the idea of spectle and exploiting people/animals for entertainment. Jupe was literally nothing more than an object for them to laugh at; the audience was using him for entertainment, the directors and producers were using him for money. Nobody expected him to come out of that room alive, and the saddest part is nobody cared. Children don’t have the capacity to evaluate the safety of the environment they’re around; they depend on adults to do that. All of those directors and producers and cameramen knew that Gordy could become dangerous someday, but Jupe trusted him implicitly, trusted them that he was safe. 
In the end, Gordy reaches out to him. Part of the reason for this is probably because he didn’t make direct eye contact, but I think there’s something symbolic about it too. They were both put in danger on that set, they were both confused and scared and alone, and the people around them were only exploiting them with no care whatsoever for their safety or protection. It makes sense that Jupe would trust an animal more than a person - the people who were supposed to keep him safe failed him. 
I feel like this also is super relevant to the way child actors are treated today. Jupe was put in an environment where he was actively exposed to a predator every single day. People put him in this position; he didn’t choose this. He didn’t know the dangers. He was exploited and he was hurt for it, left alone when the predator attacked. I feel like this correlates with all the children who are abused on movie and tv show sets who nobody stands up for when the predators come for them. People knew Gordy was a predator and they let him around Jupe anyway. People know that certain people in the industry are predators, and we let children around them anyway.
This movie gave me a lot of feelings. Feel free to let me know what you think!

i'd still love to see a farming sim introduce a rival marriage system that let's you influence who gets with who (à la fire emblem awakening or fates' pairing system.) i think a wonderful life would've been a great game to implement that in bc i feel all the marriage candidates could interact with each other in really interesting ways, especially if that marriage system also allowed for same sex relationships.

Ruminating on the commonly asked question, “Why didn’t Jupe ever go to therapy?” I believe that the question has a variety of possibilities.
A singular event, even one lasting six minutes, can have severely mind-altering effects that may take a long time in therapy to unravel. However, there are many misconceptions about healing from trauma, especially childhood trauma. We don’t know enough about what happened after the Gordy’s Home event or Jupe’s parents, but perhaps he did go to therapy, and it didn’t go on for long enough for it to have a lasting impact. Perhaps therapy sessions were voluntarily cut short by Jupe, who is shown to consistently downplay his trauma. There is a pressure to speed run recovery and get back to “normal” again, perpetuated by even the most well-meaning uninformed person and internalized by the survivor. If one were to reach a more simple conclusion, there also exists the possibility that Jupe simply never went to therapy. We should consider the context of the Gordy’s Home incident happening at the end of the 1990s. The societal attitude surrounding mental health has shifted radically since then, so the stigma surrounding therapy could have been a real issue. Not to mention that his trauma also could’ve been downplayed by other people, potentially overshadowed by the cast members who left with permanent damage, including and especially Mary Jo. For those who are unaware, there is an incredibly informative Fangoria article about Gordy’s Home as a collaboration with Jordan Peele that gives more insight into the chimpanzee attack.
“But wait,” you may ask, “there’s so much work against the stigmatization of therapy in the current day. You’re implying that he went this long without seeking help despite that?” Yes, this is an unfortunately common reality for adult survivors of traumatic childhood events. As you get older, recovery sources for childhood trauma shrink to nothing. I personally have experienced this problem as a person in the recovery process from childhood trauma. Despite the overwhelming concern for children who go through trauma, it goes radio silent when they grow up despite them needing support. There’s this overwhelming feeling of people wanting you to “just get over it” because you’re so much older now, and certainly, you’ve healed mentally after all these years. While seeking to exploit his pain to regain attention from the public and dealing with the mockery of his trauma from the media are contributing factors to Jupe’s dismissal of his trauma, I strongly feel another is that he is now a married adult with three children and the incident happened as a young child. I feel emboldened to write so extensively on Jupe Park because he captures a reality for survivors of childhood trauma that I rarely see. Recovery is a long, complex road, and the processing of trauma, and lack thereof, can oftentimes look unpleasant. It’s why I consider Jupe being more sympathetic in the story as more than other people would. The things he did were wrong, but trauma can make you do really weird and awful shit.

I swear, I am going to go apeshit if I see or hear one more person call Gordy a monkey. It is my biggest pet peeve in engaging with any media discussing Nope.

Koro-Sensei (I want him to wrap me in up in his tentacles and go flying with him)
Teruteru (Lesser so than some others but his perverted butt is very cute)
Ryoma (Casual but I actually cried when they discovered his body so...)
Gonta (I could talk about my love for him all day, I'm not even joking)
Milo (My main Pokemon F/O he's so cute and sorta scottish I love him)
Gordie (He thinks he's so cool! It's adorable, more recent as I only just played sword)

James (Dramatic man, I love me some dramatic men)
Guzma (Ah big bad goofball, goofballs are like some of my favourite things in the world)
Papyrus (Did I mention how much I love goofballs... although it's awkward cause I also self ship with his dad)

Moronsexual Moronsexual bestie you have such a TYPE
I love this so much that's such a good overlap because so many of these have been on my list for YEARS now like. This was my CLASSIC F/O list before it got MASSIVE.
Also bestie if you have more plot based S/Is please also come busting into my asks or DMs and tell me about them for any of these F/Os, I wanna see how much overlap we have, and if I can incorporate you SIs into my SI canon.
