    just read and was not at all what I thought it would be :confusion:

    I do think it’s good to make horrors present themselves as horrors to casual readers such as (CW SA)

    spoiler

    Rape of Nanking

    but this isn’t done well lel

      RIGHT? It was inarticulate and fucking sloppy.

      btw can you spoilers your last comment as well? We should do that for other comrades.

      Further discussion (CW: SA /SV)

      Rape of Nanking involved... well... a lot of actual rape. Applying the language of rape outside of the context of sexual assault and sexual violence both weakens the language and is triggering for those who have survived such events. It also is almost only done by men, which is a whole thing Zizek could actually write a good essay on if he got over his weird shit and was more self aware.

      Slavoj pisses me off because I can tell he is smart and also he broadcasts how insecure and needy he is for everyone to know it. That frequently gets in the way of him being able to actually do interesting things and he frequently winds up shooting off ridiculously fucked takes. I could bully that out of him in like a weekend maybe idk I'd only do it if I had a gun and a lot of hallucinogens.


      This post got long because I'm drunk whoops.
