i understand that small streamers would experience discomfort from this but unless i am simply even more selfish then i thought it still feels deeply privileged to complain about this. it is actually hilarious. the planets dying, humanity is killing itself and people are dying in droves every day for practically nothing. and i dont get the choice to look away. i can distract myself but the thoughts always come back. and then this person complains about having to feel sympathy for another person for 11 minutes? its disgusting. and i saw the top level comment about "emotional labor" too. and i feel uncomfortable about that concept as well. i have to do 'emotional labor' every day just being a friend to people. and i can manage that with crippling mental illness. what excuse do completely neurotypical people have. this doesnt mnean that others who also deal with trauma and mental illness should be forced to do emotional labor but that normies using the term trauma dumping is extremely worrying and funny.
removing morality form the equation. trauma dumping is something we're going to have to deal with in parties and leftist spaces. the 'emotional labor' of supporting one another through emotional suffering is a neccessary element of solidarity. it is sad to see people on even this left forum complain about that when they don't have to deal with schizophrenia or depression or anxiety or bipolar disorder. i dont think people should be forced to listen to others. but i do think that people have more of a right to vent their emotions then for normies to shut them down for taking time out of their Epic Gamer Day
maybe the streamer also struggles with similar things to me in which case im sorry. but in that case teyre one of the only streamers that has a right to say things like this
i dont want people to try and be cool therapists when they're not. all i care about is people not complaining about said trauama dumperse and villainizing them. im fine with people ignoring them, even. just dont shit on people who are suffering. that should be a general rule.
to be prefectly honest. it's not my job to help neurotypical and non-depressed, non-bipolar, non-anxious people understand this. it's not that hard and just takes a bare minimum level of sympathy. it doesnt even take that much to know what to say if someone does trauma dump on your chat but you don't know what to do to help. here's some examples:
"I really wish I could do more but I'm not a professional. Could some people in the chat who have more experience with this help them?"
"I don't have enough experience to speak on the issues you're going through. I'm sorry sad expression"
"Do you have any friends or family you could talk to this about? If not, I could reccommend some communities" (if you want them to talk to other people, jsut tell them. don't invent a whole phrase of 'trauma dumping' just to villainize)
"I'm not qualified for this and I don't want to make things worse. I wish the best of luck to you but I don't know if we can help you right now" (if you don't want to engage at all)
notice the only requirement is that you treat them like a human being. of course the rules of intersectionality apply. if you alos experience trauma or some form of mental illness then telling someone to fuck off is understandable
it's not 'trauma dumping' when someone forgets to ask if you're comfortable and unloads on you and triggers your traumas. that's someone being forgetful and a little stupid. just remind them and tell them to stop. there is no villification or 'trauma dumping' as a term that needs to eixst.
finally, if someone gets angry about another person not being able to respond and that gets sidelined as there fault for getting angry its just ignoring the issue. the fact is that people need people to grasp onto and they need help. the notion of 'trauma dumping' is just a deflection into the realm of solipsism.
i never fucking siad you couldnt ignore it. holy shit i literally just gave those examples if you NEEDED to respond. im asking for the bare minimum. just don't fucking villainize people for grasping at straws to stay afloat.
when i say "sympathy" i just mean treat them like a human being. someone with value. that's all i ask. the concept of "trauma dumping" is such a clear and obvious attempt to separate us into factions of neurodivergent people tearing at each others throats. the acceptance of the notion it is disgusting.
