I'd Actually Really Like You To Tell Me Where You Think Billy Should've, Or In Fact Even Could've Gotten

I'd actually really like you to tell me where you think Billy should've, or in fact even could've gotten help from. And not from the standpoint of a modern fan watching a historical-setting TV show with therapy and modern concepts of psychology and sociology at your finger tips.

I'm talking about where does an abused, bipolar, isolated, terrified victim living in an era where beating your kids is discipline, stuck in a backwater town full of snotty teenagers and gruff men in their fifties, get help?

Therapy in the eighties was for war vets, alcoholics and depressed housewives. The cops were just as likely to beat you up as your abusive parent. A town like Hawkins was unlikely to have any viable professional options for therapy outside of some underqualified school counsellor. Much less anywhere an 'orphaned' almost-adult with no money and no other family could go.

Billy is a complete stranger to anyone in Hawkins, so its not even like he has any foundation of trust or respect or loyalty to rely on.

Billy realistically has no money (the moment he eventually gets a job he's possessed and killed anyway), nowhere to go, no support system, no understanding of himself, no resources.

And lets not forget; the first person to know about Billy's abuse left him behind, the second watches him get abused, and the third routinely believes he deserves it and is frequently, even if unintentionally, the cause of it.

Telling people that Billy should've just helped himself, or asked for help, is like telling a homeless person to just 'stop being homeless.'

You'd think if antis were so normal and okay they wouldn't be sending rape victims CSEM and constantly having to argue against literal laws that contradict their claims, but hey. The posts proshippers make are totally just for our own sake, right?

youd think if pr0sh1pping was so okay and normal they wouldnt make constant posts trying to reassure themselves that its totally not gross???

i think you should be legally obligated to tell people when something you "made" is ai generated. i love ai, but i don't love it enough that im not mad when i find out something i thought was human made was actually stolen data fed into an algorithm

I Did, I Can, And I Will Continue To Do So For As Long As Your Intention Is To Simply Spout Nonsense

I did, I can, and I will continue to do so for as long as your intention is to simply spout nonsense accusations and baseless arguments that don't actually further any discussion or have any point beyond you completely ignoring the basis of a post and using it as a sounding board to claim that fanfiction is equal to actual pedophilia. Lurking on a post and commenting aggressive, petulant, false information is not something I am willing to entertain.

I'm also going to refer you to this post.

In regards to it 'not being very anti-censorship of me'; in the radical sense, no, it might not be. But your little whining vent is both nothing that hasn't already been said and nothing I am obligated to provide you with a space to say. I removed your comment because unlike some of the other opposing comments on the post, it had nothing of value to add.

If you have something of actual significance, consideration or value to say, or if you'd like to have an actual discussion about each of our views, the available information and evidence, and the basis of the post, then by all means. I'm here.

Otherwise, you're perfectly welcome to make your own post in order to sound off your opinion.

Fandom confession blogs are an instant block for me because 99% of the time they are solely created to create and fuel fandom drama and intra-community arguments.

"I just want to give people a space to speak honestly!"

No. You want to watch people argue with each other and spew controversial opinions that cause even more arguments. You're peddling conflict as entertainment.
