CALL EM OUT 🗣️ LET US BE SAFE
okay, i have a few messages on here so this is what i'll say.
there have been a few instances in this fandom, specifically writers for ellie/tlou, in which i have felt uncomfortable. these have ranged from being overtly sexual with someone who isn't comfortable with it, to just plain rumors, gossiping and bitchiness. however, in a recent event there have been clear displays of abusive behavior perpetrated by one person but expanded by others and others i use to call friends.
i have mentioned this multiple times before but i was in a pretty abusive relationship and years after that i can spot that out, even when it was subtle. becoming friends with a person you don't immediately assume the worst of them, but as things seep in you start to notice things. at the end of the day, finding out a friend lied about a situation sucks. but when you look at it deeper it sucks for a whole other reason.
there's a common tactic abusers do and they do it subconsciously. it's called DARVO which is Deny the behavior, Attack the confronter, and Reverse the roles of the Victim and Offender. this is very easy to fall into and believe but i vowed when it happened to me, to never take one persons side without understanding others perspectives of it. in doing this and finding out the chunks this person left out, me and others were alienated for doing so, calling us "untrustworthy" and guilting us into feeling bad about the situation when in reality a persons real actions simply came to light.
this post is made because some of the people know who they are and what they said, being silent and following along makes you complicit to that persons actions. i do think it's gross.
additionally, if your bad behavior gets called out and you immediately discuss hurting yourself/falling back into a previous bad behavior, you are engaging in an abusive behavior. no one should feel like they can't call you out on your bad behavior because you might harm yourself.
if anyone wants me to speak any further on signs of this, how to not engage in abusive behavior and how to go about it if you feel a friend might be engaging in these behaviors, i will be happy to speak on it again.
tagging this under the ellie tag because i stopped being mutuals with most in this tag, and primarily pertains to them.
The glazing of Viktor of becoming basically Jesus in this series was not on my bingo card.

rewriting the fabric of the universe because you as a man were destined to meet one (1) man in every dimension that has ever existed across time and space

I want nothing more than to have a woman come into where I work and have a cafe romance with me.
