The thing that really gets me about Gideon Nav is that when we read a book with an orphaned protagonist, when they yell something along the lines of "at least my dead mom, who suffocated herself to save me, loved me!", the readers can safely assume that the protagonist is right.

But Gideon wasn't right.

Jod, she wasn't even close.

I often think about that.

That user may not be trying to dunk, but I am. As that user said, Republicans at the RNC gleefully held signs at the RNC saying "mass deportations now" and everyone heard Trump saying Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs. There was no "information environment" that hid this information from voters. They heard Trump's explicit promises of violent xenophobia loud and clear. They knew. We all knew.

We have got to stop treating voters like children who can't possibly be held accountable for their actions. There's a fucking legal age requirement for voting for a reason--because it's assumed that by the age of 18, people are old enough to understand the world around them and that there's a cause/effect with their actions. These MAGA fucks weren't some sheltered, lost lambs who had no idea what they were doing. Every Trump voter did vote to deport moms, it's just that some never thought they would face consequences for their actions, so now they're trying to rewrite history and deflect blame. That's all it is.

Democratic politicians may not be able to treat them with the contempt they deserve without facing electoral backlash, but the rest of us are under no obligation to entertain these people's lies. People refusing to hold MAGA accountable for supporting the most gleefully, proudly awful person alive is a big reason why we're back in this fucking hell 8 years later. These people should have been shamed from polite society way back in 2016. Fuck them. The guilt should keep them up at night for the rest of their lives.

Gideon is an unreliable narrator not in the sense that she lies to the reader, but in that she reshapes or obscures her own memories to reinforce her perceptions of herself and especially of Harrow. Like how she maintains the vague impression that she duels Harrow constantly, always just barely missing her shot at an offworld shuttle, but also insists that she’s never hit Harrow before, because if she had then she wouldn’t have been able to stop.

Perhaps she means this in the context of never having sucker-punched Harrow or fought dirty. Whatever violence she has administered has to be noble and justified but also almost chivalrously constrained, the bloody details politely brushed aside, because in her own eyes Gideon has to be the unabashed hero but she also has to convince herself that’s why she’s never really won. She has to believe she would have gotten out of here by now if she was willing to actually really hurt Harrow. And she absolutely cannot explore why she’s never been able to take that fatal step. It’s only once she sees Harrow from the inside that she can admit that their mutual suffering led them to inflict suffering on each other.

The payoff to all this, of course, is the reveal she knocked a ten-year-old Harrow on her ass hard enough that Harrow clawing herself free fundamentally advanced the plot narrative.
