My Mum Is A Dreamnap Truther Im Going To Cri

Saying that someone is worthy of torture/ it won’t affect them because they are a ‘psychopath’ is Not Cool.

If people really wanted to keep c!dream from hurting people, they would focus on rehabilitation, not retribution

can we get some context for that last one buddy wym your mums a dreamnap truther???

I was telling her about how Dream and Sapnap are roommates and she just gave me a look, and said super sarcastically that 'yeah they're just friends'

In her defence the last time I told her about two guys who made comedy and gaming content online and were also roommates it was dan and phil so,,

This is also the woman who, when I showed her dream manhunt fanart on twitter in the outfit, she exclaimed 'look at his tits!' and then following it up by saying he could be trans and that we should be supportive.

I love my mum so much <3

if i see one more person say that c!dream was the one to build pandoras vault the way it currently is—

this is very much subjective- and informed by own journey of dealing with abuse. I hope this makes sense, and I am very much open to other (respectful) opinions.

~The ‘revenge fantasy’ is a storyline I am somewhat sick of seeing! If someone finds them cathartic or helpful, that is wonderful; and everyone is allowed to have different relationships with media. I just want to see other story lines, for a number of reasons.

‘Getting even’ with ones abuser/s isn’t always feasible. Whether through legal means, or taking matters into your own hands, victims/survivors don’t always have that ability. The statistics on SA show this very clearly- the rate of convictions is appallingly low. For many, their abuser may pass away before ever facing the consequences of their actions. In addition, people don’t always want justice/revenge. In many ways, leaving no space for your abuser is the most helpful thing to do. Others may not find revenge satisfying. Especially after the focus and limelight in media, the actual emotional impact maybe somewhat of a letdown. One persons suffering does not erase anothers. Seeing ones abuser be hurt, it doesn’t undo the damage they’ve done, nor does it necessarily stop them from hurting others in the future.

I am also not talking about measures taken that prevent anymore people being hurt, that ensure abusers won’t have anymore victims. There are absolutely some people whose freedom must be taken away for the safety of others. But I will always be more in favour of options that work to rehabilitate. My veiw on the application of the prison system is that it should be about protecting people, not punishing them. I am far more interested in a narrative that centres solely around recovery, around someone rebuilding their life and relationships with no room for the person who hurt them. That makes clear that the abuser was a big part of their past, but won’t be a big part of their present or future.

Let me make this clear- I am not saying that getting justice is bad. I am saying that it is not essential.

Storylines of revenge 100% have their place, but framing them as an essential step in the healing process is not helpful.

thinking abt critiquing the entire existence of the revenge trope as it pertains to pandoras vault,, someone hype me up i need the confidence boost

currently wondering what the longest time c!dream went without human contact was

‘C!Dream is a bad person because he has no empathy’

‘I don’t feel bad for c!dream, I laugh whenever he suffers, he deserves the prison’

??

If anyone asks me abt the origin of my potato knowledge, how tf do I explain that it’s because of a green blob man???

what do you mean doing extensive research into the effects of a potato only diet isn’t normal? I know only c!dream angst

Fun fact- raw potatoes have high amounts of vitamin c. At least c!dream won’t get scurvy?

When I say ‘it’s just a minecraft roleplay’ I don’t mean that this story doesn’t matter, I mean the people you’re arguing with are real, and the characters you’re defending are not
