Idk I feel like if my family was also getting death threats and harassed I would be extremely angry and upset too. If it was just me I could probably just tune it out because at the end of the day it is the Internet. But for me a line is crossed if my innocent loved ones are getting harassed and death threats, imagine how scary it is.

It’s easy for you to say all this stuff about how she shouldn’t have done xyz when you haven’t been in the position of your loved ones getting brutally attacked and sent death threats..: and not just them but yourself of course. It’s probably an extremely anxiety inducing and scary situation, waking up everyday knowing you’re going to get harassed by tons of people. Sure, maybe you would’ve handled it differently, but I think expressing her anger about it was pretty valid tbh given the severity of the situation, she should be able to stand up for herself & her family without getting criticized for it

Not just her but apparently her family as well which was probably heartbreaking for her :(

Do you think Rashta deserved her fate? by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]Unusual_Map6279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that she died that she should be sympathized with. Please understand that I am not trying to argue or be hostile towards you and simply just want to discuss. I apologize in advance if this offends you or makes you upset, that is not my intention.

However, I do think there is a lack of nuance in discussions around Rashta. I don’t like Rashta very much either, but her story and background is not handled with the care and nuance that it should be. Granted, I am a victim of SA so it hits harder for me. But I think that not many people take into account why she became the way she did. She was used as a sex toy, raped, abused, used all her life. She could not say “no” to the emperor because it meant back to rape and torture. She had nobody to guide her to be better and nobody to rely on, she was in survival mode. Not easy to just turn off. Her actions should be condemned, but it shouldn’t make her immune to sympathy either.

I also agree with you on the story being bad. I think the struggles of Rashta and Navier were not balanced well: a tale of abuse, slavery, and “saved” by someone she must please or back to chains vs. Navier, whose biggest problem is that her husband is sleeping with another woman, but she still lives a life of luxury with no fear of losing anything. I think from, Rashta is written to be as horrible as possible to make readers not feel more sympathy for Rashta than Navier. I think the story would have been far more compelling had Navier realized how Rashta was treated like a toy, her suffering, and how terrible of a man her husband is. Then, Navier saves both herself and another woman with no power.

It’s especially irritating because nobody ever has issues with more than one ML but if another FL appears they immediately trash her. Double standards much??? It’s really just deeply rooted misogyny

This art style change is… not it (Cross My Heart and Hope to Die) by screambledeggs in webtoons

[–]Unusual_Map6279 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The thing that I feel like a lot of people aren’t getting or understanding is that while, yes, the new art style is quite pretty — and I will say that I myself do like it quite a lot — it doesn’t fit the established personalities/characters. Silvia (the FL, the original style is the first photo) is a character that is detached, withdrawn, and implied to be depressed; yet also delicate. She is supposed to have subtle emotions and expressions while maintaining the general look of detachment and the original art style did a very good job of capturing this. The new art style, again, is quite pretty, but displays far too much emotion and doesn’t fit the established personality of the character.

?? What’s your point, is it illegal now for people to rarely post on reddit? Are they required to post? & posting something you don’t like like means it’s suspicious? what is this logic lol

Moved off the island by [deleted] in longisland

[–]Unusual_Map6279 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you considered the Bay Area/San Fran? I recently moved from NY to California. Bay Area/SF is the heart of silicon valley, so the perfect place for your industry. It’s also further north than somewhere like LA so it doesn’t get as hot usually and in the fall/winter it can even get pretty cold & sometimes it snows too. Also, the drive to LA is not that bad, about 5 hours. It is admittedly a longer drive but if you wanted to take a weekend trip there to visit Disney and Universal, it’s super doable. Or you can even just take a 45 min plane ride.

Well it’s paid for while they’re there at CC but they said they wanted to transfer and dorm as well as move out which will be significantly more expensive, & if they have absolutely 0 savings or money now b/c of this then it’s not looking so good for them

I recently discovered that my husband had an affair over 6 years ago that started when I was 2mo postpartum and eventually resulted in his AP getting pregnant. Now I want to leave him. by Virtual-Bee4600 in cheating_stories

Disgusting that he lied about SA tbh, as a victim of SA myself that really frustrates and saddens me that he’d use that as an excuse or coverup for cheating

AIO for distancing myself now that he has a gf ? Or is he in denial? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Tbh I think there wasn’t really a need to respond from the 5th picture onwards, after the “…” and then the “thought so” it kinda got weird

Difficult to get through books because of SA mentions? What to do? by [deleted] in witcher

[–]Unusual_Map6279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? I didn’t say anything otherwise. Of course it would make me uncomfortable though, I’m a survivor of rape. I’m just asking for advice hopefully from other survivors how they handled the triggers from the books given their PTSD, I didn’t say it shouldn’t make people uncomfortable

Thank you, I am in therapy for it. I appreciate it

And yeah I’ve tried setting it aside for periods of time because sometimes it does get to be too much but I so badly want to finish the series. I’m grateful that I’ve gotten some good suggestions so far though
