Extreme example with Kate Wallis from Cruel Summer, who isn't even an example of a victim who is capable of victimizing others. Like the whole season was about how she is the victim, and I still saw people be like "okay sure she experienced [everything] but she's being pretty pissy and bitter"

Allison McRoberts and Alicia Florrick are both women who are accused of having a "victim complex" in universe and out and while both are technically true assessments (and explored in the writing), neither are caused by an echo-chamber of support, but because their entire worlds' seem to gaslight them into believing they aren't victims.

Frankly I'm a little sus about how quickly people want to jump from acknowledging victimhood to "okay that's enough being a victim for you now you're just showing off"

Sci-fi shows nowadays are dramatic and realistic. Give me the artistic lighting, give me awkward fight scenes, let aliens wear drag queen level eyeshadows, convince me that the same decoration in every episode is a different planet, make a whole Alice in Wonderland subplot just because you found a big bunny costume in the garage, let the space pirates wear pirate costumes, dress the dog in the secondhand unicorn costume and say it’s an alien species, give me the most angsty episode I’ve seen right after the episode about some moving mama rock, give me the bROMANCE, give me HONOR, LOYALTY, DIGNITY, and some cool unrealistic but beautiful spaceships, give me flip phones as the coolest device ever, give me dramatic zoom-ins, give me thoughtful stares in the distance with dramatic music. Then we’ll talk.

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them
