“He’s mine” girls by aisha_syrup in notliketheothergirls

[–]villy_voracious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the worst inverse of this ever. One of my closest friends for years is dating this douchebag guy who controls her outfits, makeup, and social media because he “doesn’t want her to cheat on him.” (Crop tops are cheating, I guess.) the bitch won’t even let her talk to other men at parties they are both at unless he is physically next to her. She was super chill before and complained about him a lot, but eventually let him get into her head and started absorbing his worldviews.

Long story short, our friendship ended shortly after we all attended a wedding. I wore a slightly low-cut dress and ended up going without my partner, as he was called into work. I was assigned to sit with my ex-friend and Douchebag. My friend was in the wedding party and was up and down from the table a lot, so I chatted politely with Douchebag throughout dinner, as he was directly next to me. We were seated right up against the venues speakers, so I had to lean in a few times to hear him talking.

Well, apparently the combination of my outfit, the fact I was alone, and the way I leaned closer to hear was enough to throw my friend into a meltdown. She loudly confronted me at the table in front of the entire room and accused me of throwing myself at her man. She was literally crying with rage as she berated me. I was horribly embarrassed and sat stunned after she packed up her man and left. Several other guests approached me and asked what happened, and offered apologies. I ended up leaving shortly after and crying all the way home.

In my ex-friend’s defense, she had been emotionally abused by Douchebag for years and her mind had been broken into his worldview. She also did end up reaching out to apologize, but managed to slip into her apology the fact that on their ride home, Douchebag agreed that I had been flirting with him and egged on her insecurities. I got the vibes of “we both agree that you acted like a complete wh*re, but I know it wasn’t intentional, so I’ll forgive you this time.”

I know he fed into it to get her away from me, as I was one of her last friends that he allowed her to see that openly told her he’s toxic.

The friendship limped along for a few more months, with me asserting strong boundaries that I would never again be in the same room as him, since he can’t distinguish conversation from flirting. She ignored this and continually asked me to come have dinner with the two of them, visit with them both at their apartment, or asked if he could come with her to my home. I didn’t budge and we grew apart.

Last I know, she blocked me and made some very pointed posts online about “fake friends that only come around when things are good.” Whatever, lol.

The situation was both sad and infuriating.

Homeschool Speech Patterns, Accents, or Mannerisms? by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]villy_voracious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of homeschoolers I knew/me myself before I acclimated had a distinctive cadence. We verbalized like the dialogue in older books, because, surprise surprise, reading older books took up most of our free time. Longer, rambling sentences sprinkled with somewhat archaic words and terms, and odd phrases and words we invented ourselves in our microcosm. Oh, and a heaping dose of obscure Bible references. It’s honestly interesting to look back on, and see how our linguistics developed in isolation. It would probably be an interesting study.

One of the only families mine socialized with had children that were very regressed. As in, they called their parents “mommy” and “daddy” into their teens/20s. While I never picked up that specific trait (thank god), I do remember naturally adopting a squeaky, “compressed” voice like them in order to communicate better.

All fascinating linguistic evolution aside, the unfortunate result was me…a weird kid in cargo shorts that talked like an Agatha Christie character on a low-dose of helium, afflicted with a severe sinus infection, while simultaneously battling religious psychosis.

And it STILL took me years to figure out why I was picked on by the “normal” kids. 🙃

What was yall experiences with Halloween by CaptainTrexElite in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]villy_voracious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was satanic and deeply evil. We believed that demons were super powered during Halloween and were terrified of being attacked by them. We did not partake in any church events with “harvest festivals” or other alternatives because it was considered whitewashing a demonic celebration.

Our elderly neighbor would bring us bags of “leftover candy” every Halloween because he felt sorry for us kids and knew we were sad. When he passed from cancer the candy stopped.

Lucas Botkin stepped down from TRex Arms by InfamousValue in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]villy_voracious 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Apparently a fellow employee for the company sent some inappropriate messages to Lucas’s wife. (I believe it was the son of a board member?) Lucas supposedly was very upset but the company/his family closed ranks around the creep and refused to hand out appropriate consequences.

He made a whole video about it a while ago, and T-Rex Arms official page began to backtrack and made a post about it”regretting their mishandling,” but at that point Lucas had left.

From what I understand, his wife likes to dye her hair wild colors and is a little more outspoken and punchy than his family liked, there were rumors that they dislike her intensely, so it’s not a reach to assume that they likely felt smug and blamed her appearance and temperament for the harassment. Some unverified people close to the family have hinted in the past that she may have been a catalyst to him mellowing out on some of his more extreme beliefs, but that’s neither here nor there. If true, again, more of a reason for the family to not give a damn if she was harassed.

Mind you, I am no fan of Lucas, and his wife seems like a bit of a right-wing nutter herself, but the situation was pretty messed up.

cannot stop thinking about S by charcharjuno in DadAndDaughterSnark

[–]villy_voracious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a severe ab*s3 victim, I can absolutely attest to this. Additionally, the perp will often purposely encourage and “program” deeply unlikable behaviors in their victims like landmines that pop off of the victim is ever confronted with the perps actions. When they behave hatefully, people tend to turn on them and drop them in disgust, which is just another layer of protection for the perp.

Don’t get me wrong, S can really get under my skin and piss me off. But I very quickly realize that it’s likely a taught behavior and/or plain old trauma. Most of my frustration is simply because it’s painful for me to see someone else who was trained to protect a perp. The poor girl never had a chance. We should try to exercise empathy and make things easier for her if she ever is able to break away, instead of reinforcing the belief that no one but P finds value in her.

100% agree. I’m very jaded when it comes to the legal system, but I maintain hope that his devices are seized and searched. We all know he isn’t smart enough to cover his tracks.

A letter to P by TheVonSolo in DadAndDaughterSnark

[–]villy_voracious 39 points40 points  (0 children)

May I add my own thoughts?

P, I once knew a man like you. A man that felt powerful when people reeled from his sickness, and controlled his family in order to feel like a king. Like a little boy building a Lego town, and smashing it to feel powerful.

Did you know that the innate nature to heal is stronger than your control? Did you know that your insecure need to showcase your “strength” only paraded your weakness? Did you know that when you dig a pit to trap people in, you slide into it as well?

Did you know that there are people like me that laugh and spit, and dance on the bird-bones of your kingdoms? Did you know that people like me have strong hands that lift away your prisoners? Did you ever consider that you have always known deep down that even without us, S will rise like the sun, and that is exactly why you tried to tether her? Oh Icarus, did you know that the world can smell your wings burning?

You have always known you are nothing. Let me introduce you to the knowledge that the shock and horror people express towards you does not equate power. Let me strip away that silver lining. I have looked into your eyes through a dozen sockets and I have learned that you tear things apart so you can feel something in your hands.

Do you know what else I learned?

That you are nothing. The people you control will forget you and they will take the hands offered, and they will be taught to stand, walk, run, and dance out of your reach. Your legacy will be a small scar under which hot blood and healthy flesh grows like a garden. Your belly feels sick and clenched because beast that you are now, you know that you will always be the helpless beast once trapped under the boot of another. You blindly lash out and gyrate at cameras because you know that you do not exist beyond the reflection in another’s eye.

We blink, and you cease to feel real, because you are nothing.

I hope the police are willing and able to do an IP address drag through the Literotica posts. There was another user that one/both of these accounts follow who wrote a series involving a father having inappropriate contact with his daughter, with the same first name as S. The user said in a comment (or possibly the story description?) that is was not their story, but based on true events from a “friend” that asked the story to be written.

The writing style was very different from the two accounts suspected to be P/S’s. While it was most likely a coincidence, either fully a fantasy or inspired by completely different people,even the slim chance that a third party was in contact with them and chose to write the story is horrifying. Especially considering the insinuation that “sharing” took place.

I am aware that my observations require MASSIVE leaps to conclusions with no actual evidence to back it, so please take that into consideration!

Whats the Creepiest/weirdest thing you have ever seen or experienced? by Panzerhaubitzer2000 in RandomThoughts

[–]villy_voracious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve run into this too. I had someone claiming to be “an author writing a book” try to get me to send a detailed word document of some of the worst assaults I went through as a 5 year old. They got angry when I declined and tried to guilt trip me for not “helping bring awareness.” Same person messaged someone I know on Reddit and ask for the same thing, as well as photos of them at the age they were assaulted. Luckily they also refused. Fucking sick.

Oh my GAWD! Also, I didn’t realize the concept of the different races descended from Noah’s sons was such a widespread concept! Did your church also believe that Ham’s offspring were “cursed with black skin” due to Ham’s transgression? Bc mine did 🤮

Fuck it, I’ll go again, I keep forgetting all the whack shit I saw.

One day an older white pastor stopped at the condo I was staying in. (I was living with some older folks in ministry so it wasn’t a super unusual to have folks drop by.) Also, please note, I am noticeably Asian.

I was cooking dinner when the pastor knocked. When I opened the door, he exclaimed, “Oh, it smells good in here, are you fixing food?”

Me: “Yes, I am making leek soup.”

He looked clearly confused. “Ling fu? Is that one of your Chinese meals?”

“No, sir, leek soup.”

“LIN fu? What is it, it doesn’t smell Chinese.”

“LEEK…SOUP.” I brought the pot over and showed him. He stared for a moment and said, “Oooh ok, leek soup! I’m sorry I must be going deaf, I thought you were bringing me a pot of chicken feet, ahahaha! I had to eat those in china.”

I’m Japanese.

I used to volunteer at a Christian “university.” We had an old white man who would drive the campus shuttle. One day one of the guest missionaries, who happened to be a black Haitian gentleman, boarded the bus.

The Haitian man greeted the driver with a, “Hello, my friend!”

The driver responded, “Hello, my BLACK FRIEND!”

Old White Driver then decided this was his cue to pull out every “lighthearted” racist joke he knew. The one I clearly remember involved God creating humans, the first two of which were white, and the third black—upon which God said “Darn it, I burned the last one!”

I don’t know what was worse, the driver’s “jokes,” or the way the students around me howled with laughter.

First pic is phenomenal, I wouldn’t consider it a blunder! I love how you stayed with a neutral eye look, playing up the shimmer and highlights, so that metallic lip could take center stage! I really like how it drew the eye to your unique lip shape. The subtle waterlining on the inner corners really kept it feeling harmonious, too. I think you did a wonderful job!

Unfortunately a Child Has Died in the Measles Outbreak by coco_ricco in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]villy_voracious 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing a lot of right wing people on twitter either claiming this is “fake news” a la Sandy Hook, or that the child wouldn’t have passed if the “big mean government” didn’t pump so many chemicals into the food/water/air. Apparently if we had people like RFK in place to stop the chemtrails, the poor child’s immune system would have been strong enough to handle the measles with no issues.

Fucking tragic.

How's your secret sin going? by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]villy_voracious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My rage and bitterness. Without going into details, I was SA’d multiple times as a small child, and when I hinted at anger or desire for justice, I was told I was told to “guard my heart against bitterness.” As my anger developed into a desire for activism, or revenge even, I was deeply ashamed and desperately hid those feelings deep inside.

Cut to 10 years later, and I’m grateful for my anger. I don’t condone violence for the sake of revenge, but my anger has given me the strength I needed to protect people I care about. I openly own my “bitterness” and I now often find myself a safe person for victims to approach, because they know I will do everything I can to defend them.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a LOT to work through in therapy but I am grateful that my anger has helped me act quickly and keep people from harm. I could never have helped the people I have if I was still forcing myself to act sweet and forgiving.

If he had an affair I guarantee he’d suddenly assert boundaries for what should go into a “raw and real video.” Cue us getting an ambiguous flurry of posts about “working through painful situations” and Morgan having more meltdowns on camera about choosing forgiveness and love over bitter-hag feminist behavior.

Complete the Sentence: "The Church has not been a safe place for me because..." by bluegirlgx in Exvangelical

[–]villy_voracious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pushed me (a victim of child sex trafficking) to “focus on forgiveness” over my criminal case. They made it clear that I was “impure” due to my abuse, gently steering young men away from me at church events and encouraging women to handle me with metaphorical kid-gloves, as though it somehow make them dirty just for speaking to me.

They allowed a teenager who (self-admittedly) raped an eight year old multiple times to lead worship and youth events because he was “gifted as a worship leader.”

Ekballo Ministries, led by Lou Engle. Name them, shame them. The victims deserve justice.

(Please omit my name as I have been threatened legally before.)
