I just wanted to ask people and do a rant on the popularity of this person's videos:
As a survivor of Sexual abuse I don't think this is good representation. (Dw I know everyone's story is different I'm just saying there's a better way to talk about stories like this than to make silly animations with trendy songs over it..)
Looking at the videos almost made me throw up (even if it's fictional it's used as real life representation, the thought of it being similar to my trauma made me really sick, sorry if I sound hypocritical as a proshipper). I don't know how to word things right so sorry if I come off like an asshole but, I just don't like the way the creator takes the story and puts it with songs that are supposed to just be... Songs?? Idk,,
And people are making their own spin offs and self insert as "representation"??? It just feels icky to me I'm so sorry to sound this way but like,
No omfg who makes self inserts if you're trying to tell a *real person's* story??
And the way the titles are "GL2 S/A PSA animation meme" it makes me mad I'm really sorry if I'm being a dick about it please tell me if I'm wrong.
I don't know if it's best to talk about this on Tumblr or wherever but this has been concerning me for a little bit.
For those who know Victaton and their videos regarding awareness to s/a and likely being a victim themselves and giving rep to others is distasteful when shipping, adding OC's, sexualising them, etc.
I understand that anything popular enough will attract a fandom but it's honestly quite sickening coming across people who use these not for the intended purpose and could lead to harm for the creator who is only trying to spread awareness to male s/a victims and that anyone can be a victim/abuser.
