One Of The Biggest Gaps Between Narrative And What The Player Can See As Reality Despite The Faulty Narrative

One of the biggest gaps between narrative and what the player can see as reality despite the faulty narrative is with Curly and the way Jimmy thinks for Curly. Curly is a morally grey character in general, he sticks up for Jimmy and the tragedy of the Tulpar happens because Curly is bringing a known danger into a new community and hoping for the best. Curly assumes Jimmy is a good person pretending to be bad, and so he supports him as such. But when Curly is punished by the story to become a bystander even in his own life after his injury, he now knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of his violence instead of apart of his brotherhood. A huge part of Curly’s relationship has to do with rape culture in the first place, and how Curly consistently defends Jimmy as a nice guy because “he knows him”. Then after his injury he’s forced to become someone Jimmy doesn’t consider past his own guilt for the only action he thinks is worthy of guilt: hurting Curly and taking away his capabilities. But by that point, Curly likely doesn’t think of Jimmy as someone totally worthy of forgiveness after any action. A big cornerstone of Curly’s character as morally grey is that he’s too nice. He believed in Jimmy too much to the point that it became a detriment to the others because being kind to someone inherently bad DOES have consequences. People aren’t magically fixable, and especially not with forgiveness of every action and freedom from any consequences. But to that point I don’t think that Curly still thinks that Jimmy is good underneath after everything he did. Yes he’s still friends with him and he believes it’s his responsibility to be tied to him because he was a bystander to his actions for so long. Curly is a pretty even mix of misplaced good leading to unintentional bad.

Curly, in Jimmy’s mind, will still do everything in his power to excuse his actions and forgive him.

hey i was wondering something and i wanted to know your opinion on it

Why is it problematic to say i hate men but not white people or straight people

(i'm a trans south east asian man btw)

I'd say on, like, a casual exasperated level, its not problematic to say "I hate [x]." It gets problematic when your venting about a group becomes your sole lens of viewing + interacting with that group.

Like, its entirely alright to be frustrated with behaviors common to cishet white men and express that in a vent by saying you hate them. But... its like how people make the correct point that they shouldn't be expected or obligated to give all their energy to coddling people with power over them, but translate that into "i never have to care about a member of this group at all" which directly conflicts with just. being in a community? Like women should not be expected to be caretakers for men, but people in a community need to take care of each other. When the only way you engage with a group of people is by expressing hatred and asserting how much you aren't obligated to care about them, its easier than people think to find yourself dehumanizing them.

Which does not mean "you are just as bad as a racist/misogynist" or "you are oppressing them"; you are An Individual whose biases are not necessarily backed up by powerful systemic powers. But, for one, its very easy for those biases to be used by systemic forces: with men, misandry is very easily used to justify all kinds of violence towards marginalized men & people perceived as men. You also have situations where people will say the Holocaust "wasn't as bad" as, say, US slavery, because it was "white on white violence," or saying the Armenian genocide also wasn't that big of a deal because "it was done to Christians and Christians are always killing people" (two real things I have seen been said). And, again: if you are going to care about community and restorative/transformative justice and all that, you need to be able to give a shit about all kinds of people who you live with. You need to be able to see them as whole beings you are capable of connecting with on some level. You don't personally need to date or befriend men, but you do need to be able to give a shit about men in your community.

Its fine to feel annoyance and anger and use "hatred" to express that. But the problem occurs when people take "its okay to be angry with your oppressors and not spend all your energy coddling them" and make that the end-all be-all of their relationship with people of whatever group; revolutions can't accomplish compassionate goals when they are run on hatred. Very hooksian concept but "love" (as in "a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust", not in a strictly emotional sense but as an action) is a skill that is as vital as understanding class dynamics and protest tactics. Maybe you don't need to love everyone, but try to have the capacity to love anyone; the ability to physically care for someone you don't emotionally like is, I think, a vital step towards truly challenging and bringing down the kyriarchy.

Basically its about recognizing when your venting stops being an outlet and starts being a way for unproductive feelings to shape how you view other people.

“no one will notice if you stop posting/talking/texting/etc” is the mind killer. it is the evil. it is the little childhood version of myself who feels so insignificant and unwanted but she IS wanted. I am wanted and loved and noticed even if I can’t see it right now

You don't have to draw well to justify drawing, nor do you owe the world something well-drawn; the same applies to living.

The one obstacle here is the monetary incentive, to adhere to your job's idea of well-drawn, It's hard... But when artists are drawing, they rarely make this distinction, and equate the monetary worth of the drawing directly to their own worth as a person. If you claim cash is steering your art, fine, but let its impact end there. It has no right to speak on your soul.
