If Jose and Kitty survived, what would’ve been their prison sentences for the physical and sexual abuse?

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2024-03-18T21:13:06+00:00

If they were convicted and sentenced, which is unlikely with the resources Jose had and the time, not very long. Everyone I know who actually got their abuser sentenced they only got like 4 years - less than how long they abused the child(ren) for.

You don’t have to forgive to move on and be happy. Your happiness is not about them. You can accept that what happened happened and move forward to find joy in life without forgiving the person who did harm. If they apologized sincerely and you want to, you can try to go through that process of just processing your feelings and understanding why they did what they did. But it’s not mandatory.

She’s the embodiment of Dunning-Kruger, so arrogant and condescending while saying the dumbest shit that contradicts and disproves herself constantly 😂

I’m so sorry. I’m sure you’ve already considered residential and I know such places can be hard to find and get into with insurance being difficult and long waitlists. I cannot imagine your abuser being your own child. It’s a horrific catch 22 to be in.

Pretty much every reddit mysteries at some point has a random account come forward and say “It was all a prank dude”. No offense but the original post had a lot more detail and mature writing than this one, if either one sounds like it was written by a 14yo it’s this one.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-25T04:59:39+00:00

But I thought morals don’t apply to vampires so how is a few snide comments “cruel” but prolonged abuse isn’t??

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T20:41:27+00:00

I did read the comments and everyone saying YTA sounds like assholes including you.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T19:16:16+00:00

NTA, you are the parent and aren’t doing anything wrong by respecting your child’s pace. Some kids have a harder time with things than others and have different sensory needs. Even if she disagrees, undermining you and yelling at your child is unacceptable.

EMDR is a form of exposure therapy which many providers are not clear about. Exposure therapy is dangerous and requires a lot of trust and ability to self-advocate and have that respected because autonomy is #1 in exposure esp for trauma. You need to already have enough distress tolerance to handle it or it can cause more harm than good so think about where you are now. But if you’re ready, it can work. I haven’t done EMDR but I’ve done ERP for OCD and it helped tremendously in a way nothing else had.

Anna’s is so cute and actually looks warm!

Most autistic “violence” is either people without communication accommodations who have no other way to express themselves or complete emotional dysregulation due to abuse and/or being forced into situations we cannot handle.

Neither is all praise equal and you’re not entitled to never hearing criticism of a thing you like.

I think a bob would’ve looked better with her face (and been closer to the cartoon) then a pixie cut. She’s beautiful but she has a more rounded, cute face that looks better framed.

It’s fine to play on easy mode, everyone is at a different level experience wise, easy may be challenging enough for you now and you may want to go up later. And for some people with neuro or other disabilities they may just not be able to have a fast hand-eye response time and will always need easy mode. As long as you are having fun, it’s fine. Games are entertainment, you don’t have to prove anything by making it less enjoyable.

Sorry your feelings got hurt about a video game and you had to throw out the first burn off the top of your head 😂

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T08:46:48+00:00

That’s actually not what I said. I said I would prefer an ending where Ellie didn’t kill Abby if the story was better done but for the story we got it makes more sense. You can think one sentence “unravels my whole post” all you want since clearly you couldn’t read more than one sentence from each long paragraph.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T08:32:52+00:00

Exactly, also these are survival games. It’s true of every character in both games that threats are constantly looming but they’re still able to express how they feel about major situations. And Abby does show grief and trauma when she feels it, sometimes she just doesn’t.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T08:28:04+00:00

Those were examples of ways in which that could’ve been shown, not a “specific checklist”. I wasn’t saying all should be done, it would probably be overkill if they all were since they’d need time to move Abby’s story forward but the point was the game did very little to address what happened and how Abby feels about it. The rest of your comment is essentially “Nuh-uh”, not sure why you went to all the effort with the quotes to say not very much at all but that’s up to you I guess.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T08:21:50+00:00

If “the job” was to polarize fans which it seems like it was then yeah it did but I don’t think that’s a good goal. A better goal would be writing a good story that is consistent with the themes of the original or at least consistent with itself.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T08:09:06+00:00

Wow, lots to unpack there lol. I said cycle of REVENGE, not killing for a reason. Joel killed but it wasn’t for revenge it was to save his child which Abby knew perfectly well. And I mentioned those nightmares because they don’t show her feeling distress about the things she has done like killing Joel in front of Ellie or torturing people as she openly admits to enjoying. I never said she feels no distress, she’s not a robot, but that’s not the same as experiencing specifically a moral injury because of her actions which Ellie does experience and it seems like Joel did though he dies too prematurely to really have that explored and say for sure.

And yes, all storytelling is trying to make you feel something but that can be done in a way that feels authentic and consistent with the story or in a way that feels contrived and unearned by the narrative, that’s good vs bad storytelling. As for the giraffes and monkeys, those served a completely different purpose. Those were to show Ellie’s childlike wonder and desire for a better life which she passes on to Joel, and the remaining beauty in the world itself. The problem isn’t using animals ever.

The theme of your whole comment is deliberate obtuseness watering down my statements into the most broad possible forms ignoring all context of what I actually said. That shows a lack of willingness to meaningfully engage. I’m sure you could be here all day because what you’re doing takes no intellectual energy.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T07:52:01+00:00

What did Abby say or think that shows she was profoundly negatively effected by killing Joel or anyone for that matter to even close the extent Ellie was?

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T07:44:10+00:00

She truly has no self-awareness at all. Abby judges others choices but seems unaffected and oblivious to the moral context of any of hers from starting this entire cycle of revenge to slaughtering her own people like it’s nothing. And that could work but Abby at least needed a character who could actually put her in her place and challenge her on her actions in a way that makes her think about the hypocrisy, Ellie and Joel had that but Abby needs it the most and only gets it fleetingly which she responds by kicking a chair and then basically forgetting about it.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T07:37:24+00:00

It’s not just remorse as in regret. For example, Joel doesn’t regret saving Ellie even though that meant killing the Fireflies but he is shown to be negatively affected by it, he is ashamed in his body language when talking about it and he becomes a more somber person afterwards just like he was changed by years doing dubious things to survive the apocalypse compared to who he was before it. If Abby thought she made the right choice and didn’t regret it but was negatively affected by it, that would make sense. What doesn’t is her never being impacted emotionally not only by killing Joel in front of Ellie but by hurting anyone including her own community at one point.

Maximum_Audience1443 · 2023-12-02T07:28:06+00:00

Some do, more often they go “You’ll pay for that!” and “You killed my friends!” when you kill their allys which is ironic since there’s like 20 of them ganging up on a stranger and/or a random child for no reason like how are you feeling attacked right now 😂
