#not this time. not after you painted me as a victim who can't defend themselves and my own fucking brother as an abuser

No but the Lutawolf thing pissed me offfff! I was disgusted about the Emmett Till thing because any of us with a brain saw how that comparison was awful (and even though they tried to double down and swear it was a comparison instead of just apologizing and growing from this experience) but in that post they said a lot stuff that sounded very much like victim blaming and ableism as well. The whole post was rife with it but these parts stood out:

“Now, if you accuse someone. You have to have proof. And I don't mean bruises on wrists. I give those to my submissive when I do bondage.

For instance, if it was me. I could tag several people on here who know me in real life that can verify everything I've told you guys. I could point you to court casings. There were video taps, DNA, and much more. So much that they pled guilty. Never mind that they only got five months.

So not only do we not have proof from Poi. Other than pictures that were found to be stolen. She took someone else's pictures to use as her own. Do you see what I went through. I have videos and pictures. If it had been me that she stole from, I'd make her the abuse victim she wants to be so badly. “

As someone who’s also a survivor but was very young and couldn’t provide proof for many reasons, I was met with this same attitude from people for years because I spoke out. I hate survivors with superiority complex because the rest of us that don’t fit their perfect definition end up feeling belittled and invalidated. Like this isn’t even about the Poi/Build thing it’s about making other survivors who’s story probably looked similar on the outside, feel like crap all over again. Although, I find it funny that someone who says they don’t care about one party or the other, they definitely did a good job of painting Poi as the “psycho” and Build as the poor innocent baby. That’s why comparing him and his situation to Emmett felt even worse than if they’d just left it at that. Emmett was an innocent child and Build is a grown ass man with a documented history of similar behavior. The whole post was just disgusting all around.

I was contemplating abandoning the KP fandom after you said you probably would but, after this, I think I’m out for good. So many people who I used to admire here have recently shown themselves to just have the worst opinions. Anyway, sorry I just wanted to rant. There’s a lot of drama going on so please just ignore this if you want to.

Fuck Lutawolf. You know, I said I was gonna stay off of here, but I caught wind of all this bullshit and I had to see for myself what the fuck was going on.

I had that person blocked for quite some time but I unblocked them because I want them to see everything I'm saying regarding this issue.

At the end of the day, you can defend your shitty fave without comparing that piece of shit to an innocent child who was tortured and murdered as a result of false accusations. This is NOT the same. Build is NOT Emmett Till nor are their situations the same. Build is a garbage individual who has had a pattern of being awful and everything is finally catching up to him. Build is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic piece of shit (as per his own words when he wrote that sad sob letter last year after we found out how he truly thinks). He is not being unfairly targeted due to racism or outright hatred. Actions have consequences. You can't walk through this world thinking you can say and do whatever you want without there being consequences.

That's not how this works. Fuck Build, fuck his fans/supporters/staunch defenders, and fuck anyone else who thinks they can use murdered Black children to absolve Build of any perceived guilt. You can make a point without using Black trauma to justify and manipulate people into feeling sympathy for a guilty piece of trash. The Black trauma was used to really hit everyone right in the feels so they can care enough to ignore that he has a history of being awful. His fans have covered it up and have been trying to get other people to stop talking about it for MONTHS. Since that's not working this time, I guess they have to pull out the big guns. They're spreading misinformation and trying to quiet his accuser while also trying to force the rest of his cast mates to come out and defend him when there's nothing to defend. Brands are publicly renouncing him and cutting ties with him for a reason. He's bad for business and rightfully so.

Your fave has always been a bad person and it's finally caught up to him and now everyone knows. Stan who you want. Support who you want. If you want to support a guilty man, just say that. We won't respect you but at least be honest with yourself and everyone else.

I'm keeping this anonymous for obvious reasons. I see a lot of my biological dad in JD. The major difference obviously is JD is extremely wealthy. My bio dad has flying monkeys that would defend him no matter what. Just like JD and his fans. Even with proof of abuse he was still viewed as someone who could do no wrong and I was ruining his reputation by telling what he did. Even when I was covered in bruises, black eyes, etc it was constant "you should really consider how this would affect him." I was 9 when I had a miscarriage. I was sent to juvie for breaking his nose after her shook my younger sister. The cop's response was "Kids can be brats".

Abusers gather flying monkeys so they can paint themselves as the victim. They have a mask they wear around them so they're always protected under the line of "well he was nice to me. He never hit me."

Like JD my bio dad was an alcoholic and an addict. And was often given a pass because "well he was drunk."

I wrote in my diary about what he did and how my bio mom for the most part would ignore it. The rest of the time she'd claim I was trying to steal him away from her. I was a child.

That diary was used against me. It must not have happened if I wrote about it. I'd dissociate when the abuse was happening so I couldn't give a detail by detail report of everytime it happened.

That was used against me.

I was able to talk about the abuse without crying.

That was used against me.

In the end he plead guilty to molestation charges. He got a shorter sentence because the judge didn't think it would be safe for him.

I see quite a few claiming to be abuse victims and rushing to defend JD and I can't wrap my head around it. How anyone can seriously watch this trial and think JD is a victim is beyond me.

I am so sorry you went through that. Sending so much love.

Camera Obscura

Honestly this is one of my favorite topics since my dad's a photographer and taught me pretty much everything I know about cameras. The earliest cameras were said to be invented around 400BC by a Chinese philosopher named Mo-tzu and in the 4th century the Greek philosopher Aristotle realized it could be used to see a partial eclipse.

It wasn't until the 11th century that the camera obscura was used to reflect a full still image. As for the name, the actual term wasn't coined until 1604 by Johannes Kepler who invented a portable version he used for his astrology research in Austria.

Obviously there's a lot more to the camera's history, but I only wanted to share a quick overview of what a camera obscura is and how it got it's name before we get into the cooler and spookier aspects. So to give you a bit more context, one of my favorite videogames is called Fatal Frame or Project Zero where you have to defend yourself with only a camera with the ability to exorcise ghosts. It's a really good game, especially if you like the classics. Too bad real ghosts aren't so easy to deal with...

Moving on though, I mentioned in my previous post about how mirrors, photographs, and self-portrait paintings were sometimes believed to steal the souls -or at least a small fragment of them- of whoever is being reflected inside. And when you think about it, early cameras were pretty much the same thing. It's a lens that reflects the inverted image of something or someone in a dark room and later on it became possible to 'capture' the image on film by burning the image onto it.

Fun fact, that's why people had to stay perfectly still when taking a family portrait or something because the process of imprinting their image on film took time and moving would make the image blurry.

As for the rest when it comes to the paranormal myths about cameras, over the years I've learned that some stories about ghosts caught on camera are sadly either made up or clever hoaxes. There are definitely some cases where real ghosts have appeared on camera, but the idea that they can only been seen that way by normal people like us isn't true. The fact of the matter is you usually need a special camera to be able to see them if they're invisible since ghosts still have a low temperature, which means that you can detect them with an infrared camera but that only matters if you're out doing a paranormal investigation.

As far as actual photographs being haunted or possessed by ghosts...well, judging from what I've seen it's usually not so much that the photos themselves 'trap' ghosts, it's more like they're the ones who can't move on so it's an emotional attachment keeping them in there. Or at least an echo of their strong feelings and memories. It's the same with paintings in most cases.

In rare cases, there is some kind of magic or curse involved that has trapped the soul of their victim inside of an object but there's no way to safely test that theory. As you can imagine, the last thing I want to do is unleash a vengeful spirit by accident! Anyways, that's it for now but maybe next time I'll talk about videos since that's my main area of expertise. I am a vlogger after all! But if there's anything else you'd like to hear me talk about next, feel free to ask!

How to make your friends turn away from you 21+1 tips and tricks

0. Find someone who likes you. It should be a "problematic" person., makes it easier to criticize them later, and show off your perfection (you support and accept every kind of people, and you say it often enough).

1. Tell them how desperately you wish for someone to give you help/advice/constructive critique about something you do. When they do it, turn them off every single time - without exception - telling them you disagree, and you wanted to do it the way you just did.

2. Tell them you wish to find people for things you like doing. If they go with you, and try, criticize them at every single opportunity. Make them really feel how their efforts are worthless, highlight yourself explaining how you do it (so much better, and how much more effort you put into that activity).

3. Try something they would like to do, and say you don't want more of it, because it isn't interesting for you. Find something you can point at as a reason, for example: you are not competitive, they are, and they do it to compete with you. [Ignore your behaviour in 2.] They are doing things wrong (how they organize a club or something) . Say it, even if they followed the advice you gave to them.

4. Be offended if they don't watch your 40 hours game videos, but when they mention you a book they liked, find superficial information about it, form a negative opinion, and tell them how you's never read anything like that. Generally do your best to break down their motivation and enthusiasm about anything they might like.

5. Be demanding. Demand information (more than you actually need), feelings (yep, you really want them to feel certain ways, if they can't they are not true friends). Above all! demand complete access to their private life, otherwise you have to believe they are hiding things from you, and you cannot trust them.

6. If they keep some privacy, or don't want to constantly argue with you, and don't say everything they think, then tell them you can't trust them.

7. If they defend themselves, or argue about your attitudes towards them always say: - you didn't say anything wring to them - you don't remember saying those things. Always come out of the fight as "the victim". Don't apologize! Never admit you did something wrong.

8. Tell them how badly they treat you, and how much you tolerate from them.

9. If they say you are angry, say you aren't, they can't make you angry. (In other words, they can't reach you, you don't care enough about them to take it seriously.)

10. Never admit you did something wrong against them, but if they confront you with a mirror, saying you think you are too perfect, then say: you are aware you aren't perfect, and make mistakes, and sometimes you say rude things to others purposefully in anger. (never admit you're doing this to them too, it's important)

11. After some fights, if you made them apologize a few times, and made them feel awful friends, you can start the next phase.

12. Tell them you can't talk to them about anything, because you are afraid of their reaction. If they say the same about you, call them idiots, and cowards.

13. Repeat it enough times, you don't trust them. You don't want them to think you changed your opinion about them.

14. ALWAYS - very important - in every conflicts they have or ever had, take the opposite side. Don't forget to point out they caused it all to themselves. And don't offer any help to heal from these.

15. After doing so, complain a lot about it how nobody supports you, and all you want, a caring friend.

16. Ignore them a lot. If they bring it up, say you thought they didn't need as much attention as your other friends.

17. Complain about lack of friends again.

18. Call them your friends, but continue to behave the same way. If they ask why you are with them, if there is anything you like about them at all, then respond with confusing silence, and don't give any clear answers, avoid the question. If they say something positive about you, you just nod, saying it's same on your side too.

19. Make them feel guilty about everything: about treating you bad, about not doing everything in life they "could" (according to you), not wanting to know about your sexual life... everything you can think of. Criticize them for everything you hate in yourself. But deny if they say you share that trait.

20. If they try to discuss the friendship problems, never take the blame for anything. But demand change from them. (5. + 10. combined)

21. Throw them away if you are sue they will come after you, trying to make peace with you. But you never go after anyone to apologize, nobody is important enough for you.

+1 If they reach the point of human endurance, and leave you behind, then show their messages to your still existing supporters, and make them pity you, and boost your ego. You'll be fine in no time.

Note: Sorry for the bitter humor. I had bad luck, I knew more then one of this type. In those friendships, even if I saw the person's value, I constantly found myself defending, explaining myself. Nothing was ever really good enough for them - except when they had bad times, and I was there to listen and help. And sometimes these people - because they are not monsters - actually helped, and I felt gratitude. And that made me stay around them longer than I probably should, because I felt it would be a betrayal. But there is a point, when it just doesn't work anymore and falls apart. Things happened like this: I shared common hobby with them, art. And if I didn't manage to say what they wanted to hear, and obviously I didn't, then at one point they said they hate my works, I shouldn't show them anything I created. Let's say I liked the landscape painting more than their character drawing. Or liked their own drawing more than their hobby translations. Or with one of them it was difficult, because the person really have a lot to improve and I didn't want to be too harsh, so just pointed out a few things... for the person's request. And the reaction was complete rejection, this friend said it was purposefully like that.

We played it a few times, and then I gave up. I am not an art teacher, I tried to do something good, in a gentle way, but even that didn't work. Soon the same person started to complain about the lack of support and constructive criticism. Tried to push me into giving critique again, and when it didn't work, I got the: "I hate commenting on your works" and ignored my works. I tried to be friends with a certain community. I didn't fit it, some thought it's fun to mess with my emotions, being rude. I grieved my father too, everything just came at once, and I talked about it to my friend. For a few moments the person said it was unfair, but then I could say something my friend didn't like, and then the opinion changed to this: I caused it for myself, that group's reaction is understandable. That's how dynamics change with this type. And if someone is more emotional - like me - it's likely they/we react to that, confront the friend, and then there is fight over fight until one has enough brain to leave it all behind and close the friendship. No other options left.

If you feel like you're reading about one of your relationships, then let it be a warning sign. If you are the one doing such things to your friends, then it's a mirror for you. Please stop doing it. Thanks for reading!

[itsclydebitches]

Why do you think it is people can't accept or view woman as abusive? Whether it's mothers, wifes, girlfriends, or just friends? Is it because men are usually the abusers in media and therefore accepted as the abusers in real life always? Do people out there really not think woman can be both physically or emotionally abusive to men in their lives just as men can be?

As with all of these topics there’s no one reason why such thinking comes about, but rather a complicated intersection of ideas, teachings, assumptions, personal experience, culture, etc. Part of it is that statistically men (in the US and UK anyway) are more likely to be the abuser and the media does reflect that, so some people tend to conflate “usually” with “always.” Even though those are obviously two distinct situations. Which is how you get antagonistic responses to those who advocate for men who suffer from abuse. Some see it as a means of drawing attention away from the ‘real’ problem of women victims, rather than acknowledging that both things exist simultaneously: a predominance of one gender being victims and the other gender facing a unique hurdle because of that predominance. When we teach - overtly or implicitly - that only women can be abused, we set up a scenario where men must first prove that what they’ve suffered can and does exist at all, let alone that they as an individual suffer from it. We see this with rape as well. Women must navigate a world that acknowledges that they can be raped, but tends to deny that it happened to her (she was asking for it, she should be grateful, etc.) Men, meanwhile, often hear that they simply can’t be raped, full stop. Because that’s something that only happens to women, because men always want sex, because a man could have put a stop to it, etc. And if this seems at all confusing, contradictory, complicated, and other difficult ‘c’ words, it’s because it is. Different genders who experience abuse simultaneously have commonalities that should inspire solidarity among the groups as well as individual circumstances that have to be taken into account. There is no one size fits all explanation here, which is precisely why intersectionality exists. 

Thinking about those individual factors though, gender norms absolutely come into play and feed those broader ideas about who can and cannot be abused. To put it simply, the concept of (toxic) masculinity does not provide room for men to be victims of abuse via women, simply because they are supposed to be inherently stronger and thus protected from assault. I experienced a perfect example of this bias while discussing Caroline Flack’s assault arrest. To be clear, we had almost no details about the case and were speaking very generally about abuse as a whole, rather than what actually happened between her and her boyfriend. This was also prior to her suicide, so take this as a conversation pretty much entirely removed from her specific situation. Basically though, the conversation revolved around the utter disbelief that a girlfriend could assault - let alone consistently abuse - a boyfriend. This person was grudgingly accepting of emotional abuse, but physical was off the table. After all, he’s a big strong guy and she’s so tiny. You’re telling me he can’t catch her arm when she goes to hit him? Or just hit her back? When I began to point out the problems in this thinking, the lack of understanding as to how abusers work, and begin to introduce the concept of victim blaming, they responded with, “I’m not blaming the victim, I’m blaming his inability to defend himself!” Which is a response that made me stare into an invisible camera like I was on The Office. Frustration aside, this conversation does a decent job of demonstrating the biases at work here: 1. Men are pretty much immune to abuse because abuse is almost entirely physical. 2. That immunity stems from clear-cut ideas about how man and women develop: he will be big and strong while she will be tiny and weak. 3. Abuse is not a complicated form of conditioning but a one time thing that anyone with the correct tools (strength) can stand up against: just stop her from hitting you. 4. If you somehow fail to stop her you can (and will instinctively want) to get revenge by hitting her back. That will demonstrate dominance and put an end to things. Problem solved. Obviously there is a lot to unpack there and that’s coming from a liberal, progressive, otherwise empathetic person. This kind of thinking runs deep. 

I want to emphasize that people get degrees in this, write books, spend their whole lives studying and working through such a nuanced subject... so a blog post response does not a perfect answer make lol. Nor does a BBC vid with a clickbait-y title, but experiments like this - simple as they are - can help to demonstrate that thinking: 

“My first thought was... he looked a bit soft... he looked a bit soft letting her hit him like that... I wouldn’t let a girl hit me.” 

“I think the man must have done something to the woman” 

There’s such a pervasive idea that men, as men, are the dominant gender that any evidence of abuse is automatically reframed as a) something he secretly enjoys, b) something he brought on himself, or c) proof that he’s not a “real” man and is defective for suffering from this. It’s a view that is perpetuated in fandom as well as real life. When Salem kills Ozpin it means he obviously did something to deserve it (trying to escape with the kids) because only guilty men suffer like that. When Yennefer takes control of or invades Geralt’s mind it means he secretly liked it because only weak men would stick around to suffer through something they were uncomfortable with - and Geralt is the opposite of weak. Then these stories - as stories written by an author who controls all events, responses, and outcomes - further paint these assumptions as correct: Ozpin is condemned as a horrible person (see, he deserved it!) and Geralt’s true love is shown to be Yennefer (see, he secretly doesn’t mind!) because these are characters who adhere to the whims of fallible authors. That doesn’t represent reality, but it can help perpetuate our perception of it. The author who fails to acknowledge a man’s abuse that they’ve written is no different from an author who fails to acknowledge a woman’s abuse that they’ve written. How the audience responds to those relationships, however, is very different. We’ve reached a point now where we can say stuff like, “Just because fictional Anastasia Steel has been written to think the way Christian Gray treats her is sexy and healthy doesn’t mean it is,” but we often fail to apply that same fiction/reality distinction for men. Instead, women abusers of all varieties - from genocidal Salem to “just” insults/threat of magical retribution Yennefer - are painted as badass or secret victims because the alternative would be acknowledging that men have the capability to be victims at all. Especially powerful men who (supposedly) have every means of defending themselves. 

As one woman in the video puts it, “the stereotype that women have less power than a man” is ingrained in our culture and it hurts men and genders not on the binary as well as women. It’s just that the damage to women is the most obvious and, as said, at times much more common. But that doesn’t mean these other impacts don’t exist. This is why feminism is inclusive and anyone who tells you it’s only for women hasn’t done much research. There’s a difference between people who may use such situations as a means of erasing all the shit women have to deal with (Men’s Rights™) and those who acknowledge that the limitations put on women and the abuse they suffer has the added concern of negatively impacting those around them. They’re baises that don’t help anyone.

From way before I was a fan of Neil Lennon the manager, I was a fan of Neil Lennon the man. All he had to endure, all the things he had to put up with? No-one in the history of the game here has ever been subjected to more, not even close.

It’s for that reason that I’m the very last person who would ever say that anyone in football deserves abuse from the stands, or that those who get it “brought it upon themselves”, and especially when that veers into racism and objects being thrown. The people who do those kind of things at games are gutter rats and deserve universal condemnation.

But I’ll tell you this, getting stick from the stands is something every player has to put up with. Some players even get it from their own fans. It’s part and parcel of the game. Almost all of them suck it up and get on with it. Only a handful ever react.

This is just one of the reason I’m not joining the Alfredo Morelos pity-party which is going on in some corners of the media. This website christened him Mad Dog last season, and we’ve held to the name all the way through this one in spite of his “improved” disciplinary record.

Because we’re unimpressed by the leniency he now gets from referees.

It’s not that Morelos has learned how to behave, it’s that he is indulged more than he was last term and he’s become sneakier in the way he lashes out with both elbow and boot. He has certainly learned a thing or two, just not about how to behave.

His performance at the weekend was typical of his attitude; he scored a goal but any admiration you might even grudgingly feel for the way he plays the game was, as usual, overwhelmed by the negativity he generates as he gurns, snarls, dives, moans, kicks and snipes his way through every match. He has a flare for self-pity that would be off-putting in a surly teenager.

And this is what I find hard to stomach as some in the press attempt to paint Morelos as a victim of supporters being unable to take what they dish out. What nonsense it is.

About three days ago, Phil posted an article on Morelos and the difference between his attitude to adversity and that of our young defender Jeremie Frimpong.

It was an excellent piece, and the contrast between two different goal celebrations was impossible to ignore.

Frimpong is nowhere near as experienced as Morelos, but he has a maturity that the Colombian simply does not possess.

Even his reaction to the red card he received at Ibrox was notable for the way he accepted it. His after-match interview is priceless; although he didn’t think it was a red card he accepted the penalty decision and acknowledged his mistake. It spoke volumes for his professionalism and willingness to learn. Here was a footballer admitting an error and vowing to do better.

Did the media laud him for it? No, because they’ve been too busy praising Morelos for no longer being quite so thuggish, although that’s mostly a matter of personal interpretation and I’m not in the least bit convinced. I don’t know that too many are.

One of those who claims to be is Neil Cameron, the awful Herald hack and one-time head of sport at their newspaper group. His article came hot on the heels of Phil’s, and was so contrary to its contents you have to wonder if it was a response to that piece more than it was directed towards defending Morelos. It would not surprise me. His obsessive desire to take a slap at a fellow journalist who, until last year, had never written a word about him, has long been embarrassing.

So too was this piece, which sought to blame Motherwell fans for Morelos own inability to control himself. The Colombian is not the first player in Scotland to come under scrutiny and be a target for fans. He’s not even the only player at Sevco. And yes, other players have had bile directed at them and things thrown at them … it’s how a footballer reacts to provocation from the stands which matters and Morelos decided to give out a little payback.

To do so whilst on a yellow was to invite the red card. That he felt he could do it with impunity is a testament to how much refs have let him away with all the way through this campaign.

And for that, he does deserve what he gets. Because he might not have brought the abuse on himself, but the red card was earned. It was deserved. The Morelos pity-party is cringe-worthy. This guy just continues to behave like a ned … and people continue to make excuses for him.
