I think the hardest part about addressing child abuse is getting people to acknowledge, not just intellectually but actually responding accordingly, is that the biggest threat to children, the biggest risk of abuse, is family and parents.

it is of course most often parents who are crowing about needing to protect children (often against far smaller threats than family), and pointing out that they are, statistically, the biggest threat to their kids is not gonna be received well.

I surely can't be the only person relieved that Love Languages aren't a thing.

Okay, "aren't a thing" is a bit much -- I agree that they are a useful way to talk about relationships and our behaviors in them, I'm not mad that they exist conceptually. But the version that became popularized (and was debunked as being twisted by an evangelist who wanted his wife's love language to be Service, as I understand it) was very formal. It was like "Here are the set love languages that you have to use and you're going to have one that You Do".

And I was fucked up about it, because I wasn't sure I had one! I'm not aro, I actually very much feel and enjoy romantic love, but I couldn't figure out what my love language was even outside of the proscribed list, and I had begun to just occasionally think "Well, maybe this is my language and I'm just fuckin' bad at it."

It's a relief to know that I don't have to have a Way To Behave In A Relationship, I'll be honest.

Xie Lian, age 17, says (paraphrasing): "if heaven needs to sacrifice an innocent little boy to be appeased then heaven is wrong and I will stand against it" and he continues to do that until 800 years later with his head being bashed in still screaming he won't do what Jun Wu said. I love him.
