TW: mentions of SA
Can we talk about how normalized it is to see SA scenes in media (often completely unnecessary ones which only serve to fulfill the perverse fantasies of some random incels), to the point where books with SA scenes are part of school curriculums and everyone just expects you to be fine with it? Because I was just reading a book we're reading for english class rn and we're writing an exam about it soon, when I saw that it had an SA scene (noone warned us about it btw) and had to put the book down because I had a fcking panic attack over it? Like yes, obv my teachers couldn't have known that I have a problem with these kinds of things due to some stuff that happened in my childhood, but they shouldn't just assume we (all of us are minors btw) are just going to be fine with it when they don't know if we might have had experience with that kind of stuff? I do admit, it was very vague and the male protagonist did manage to 'stop it' in time (also in this case i dont think it's a bad thing we got more male SA representation), but I'm personally extremely sensitive to scenes like that and I just have to wonder why we're being forced to read smth like this?
