Porn artists over cops is a hierarchy that I can get behind.

From my experience what these people actually want is confirmation that their experiences were normal and correct and that it's the world that has gone wrong. That's why confronting them with the fact that actually how they were treated was literally abuse makes them so upset, they don't want to acknowledge that they were (and often still are) victims of people and systems outside their control. They were raised with the mindset that to admit something hurt you was a weakness. They were raised to believe that suffering through hardship silently is a sign of good character and strength. They want to be praised for being so strong, not sympathised with for being so hurt, they just don't know what to do with that massive shift in perspective

Also often it’s a behavior they’re perpetrating themselves so if they admit they were abused or neglected they also have to admit they’re now the abuser or neglecter and they’re definitely not going to do that.

Anyway that’s the story of how after years of hearing “If I had done that my father would have had his belt out!” from my mother - presumably to make herself look better since she only beat her children with her bare hands - I made a casual reference to my grandfather being abusive and my mother lost her shit.

granny smith taught her everything she knows

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have actually read the killjoys comics?

Legitimately severely critically underrated
