Found this in my drafts.
Not entirely sure what I wanted to do with them?
imagine how much of a fucking horrible person you have to be that on the first day your elected into office the crisis calls of a Suicide Prevention Project Go Up 33%. The Trevor Project Received over 1,400 Call By Early Monday Afternoon. Most of those calls, if not all, are coming from children. Children scared of you and what you will do. Imagine how much power and how horrible you have to be to do that.

Please understand that not every marginalized person is going to have a list of peer reviewed sources and accurate statistics proving the bigotry they face in their daily life and you sometimes just have to decide to believe people when they tell you they are suffering
but fr I'll never take it seriously when someone says "i was abused by men, I'm allowed to hate them and anyone trying to show love for men is an MRA" like you know how many of us were abused by our mothers and it's still (rightfully) considered not okay to say that women are all abusers just waiting to kill their children. If you blame violence on someones gender instead of the societal mechanisms that encourage and allow violent and harmful behaviour you're perpetuating that cycle.
when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character

this is so dumb, but you can read the whole thing here (this is abt my post abt caitlyn hitting vi).
but, of course, because comparing caitlyn’s slap to a family dynamic makes so much sense. i mean, who wouldn’t think that a random act of violence from an enforcer of an oppressive system is just totally the same as a frustrated mom slapping her kid? it’s basically exactly the same thing, right? both have nothing to do with systemic power imbalances, trauma from being literally beaten by enforcers, or, you know, the fact that caitlyn represents the very institution that’s responsible for vi’s pain. but hey, let’s ignore all that, because clearly, your personal experience trumps the actual context of the show.
and the "one act of violence" argument? classic. i mean, sure, if you’re completely ignoring that caitlyn is not just some random person but part of a corrupt, violent system that’s actively destroyed vi’s life for years, then yeah, i guess it’s just a "one-off." totally. but maybe take a minute to consider the actual context of what that slap represents. oh wait, you’re too busy comparing caitlyn to your mom, because, obviously, it’s exactly the same dynamic.
