TW Abuse, Particularly S3xu@l abuse, 18+

In case the tw didn't give it away this post is gonna be a bit heavy.

There are many, many portrayals of s3xu@l abuse in media. As a writer, I have characters who have suffered from it in some of my WIPs too (One of my WIPs literally has a major focus on healing from trauma/abuse). It's a serious and important topic and should be written about, so long as it is treated appropriately. Some media (I'm looking at you, Game of Thrones) has developed a notoriety for not treating the subject appropriately. And as someone who watches older TV shows and movies sometimes, I have noticed an uncomfortable amount of jokes regarding, women not being safe alone with men. Sometimes it's even written in a way that romanticizes it.

One thing I really, really appreciate about Hazbin Hotel is how it treats Angel's "relationship" with Val. First off most of the time when we see, really any kind, of abuse in the media, the victim is a woman or child. When the victim is a man, the abuse is often hardly even acknowledged as abuse, especially if that abuse is s3xu@l. Angel's abuse is not only acknowledged to be abuse, but is treated with very warranted gravity, both by the narrative and the other characters. Angel's friends don't blame him, in fact they try to show him how much they care for and support him, in their own unique ways. Even if their ways of "helping" aren't necessarily helpful (Yes, I'm talking about Cherri Bomb), they are trying. They are there for him.

Representation isn't always about demographics, sometimes it's about situations too. Stories are our guidebooks, and have been so throughout history (Look at "Aesop's Fables" or the "Child's book of Virtues"). If our stories portray something as a joke it will be treated as a joke. If our stories portray something as only happening to one demographic, we will assume it really only happens to that one demographic. If we portray something as a serious issue to be handled with gravity, that is how we'll handle it as a culture. If we want to change the world we have to change the narrative too.
