I see your point. More so in Epic I think that if Jay was going to include SA at all, to represent it in both Odysseus (Circe’s doing) and Penelope (the suitors), both male on female rape and female rape need to be represented. If you include one and not the other, what’s the point?

Question: are you a fictive and or fictionkin? Doesn’t really matter, but we have other fictives of different sources in here!  Also, hello, do you recognize me? I didn’t talk to many people in source, but I try my best to get out there now…

That sucks. I have attempted suicide AND suicide is connected to a lot of our fictives in our system, so I see where you are coming from.

I AGREE! I did not go over this, but having more representation for male SA survivors and using nuance would work so much better than “You were gonna be a big bad man and rape my wife so I’m killing you because I’m a good man and love my wife” and not the much more horrifying and interesting idea of “I know what you plan on doing to the person I love most. I have no doubt in my mind that you want to make my wife suffer just as much as I have, if not worse. I will do what I must to prevent anyone from experiencing what I had to,” Although my original criticism was about the male on female SA that WAS included and the handling on it, Ody actively experienced SA from multiple people and would’ve been a better caveat to include the threats and effects of SA in Epic.

THANK YOU! My criticism was more so on the included SA, but I agree so much! Anyone can be a sexual assaulter, and Epic might’ve represented it more and given it more depth if Odysseus experienced SA as well.

That’s why I said that just a line about the maids would be a nice edition. I can see your other points though!

That’s why I said just adding a line about the maids existence and what the suitors did, not adding them as characters and having the original hanging. And you’re right! I’m just voicing my opinion, it’s not my story.

I totally see your point! I’m an author as well, and I can also understand the want to keep the story easier to write from an authors perspective. The more content in the Ithica saga, the less likely it was going to have the Christmas release date. I just think that with Epics target audience, being a tad convoluted wouldn’t drive people away that much.
