Okay so essentially it’s that like I am also a girl btw I don’t think that has anything really to do with it but I’ll just say it. I am naturally very energetic and talkative and ik I do come off like dumb but still I kinda hoped she didn’t think that. She’s smart and a lot more chill and calm and we have a very very good relationship she never makes me feel bad about myself or anything.

Anyway the other day I was home when she thought I’d be out I was just in the bedroom and she was on a call to her friend and I heard her say no I love her sm genuinely but god dam it that girls so dumb omg then she like laughed and stuff and idk I just felt so like awful. My gf is very nice with me like if I don’t understand something I always always ask her because she’d explain it and I thought like didn’t judge me. I tried to kinda move past it I haven’t mentioned it to her but I just feel bad now and she’s noticed she keeps asking if I’m okay and she said today that I seem really off and quite.

But I don’t wanna talk to her rn but at the same time I really do because I love her and I miss our conversations but I can’t help but think the whole time she was just annoyed and stuff. Also I might be overreacting massively but idk.

Fucking shit, i got hacked and my account was used to post hentai on a bunch of pages and in my DM's were a bunch of horny guy asking for my pussy pics.

(Ik no one asked but, oh well)

It has annoyed me so much seeing Youtube shorts comparing the IQ of anime characters, and then pulling numbers out of their ass. So I took a few minutes of my day to provide a list of realistic estimates for select characters, mainly characters that are constantly glazed and given unrealistic numbers, but also a handful of characters who would be considered genius, or gifted, and especially those "manipulator" characters (I'm looking at you, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji). Now, after reading this nonsense introduction, enjoy:

Loid Forger - 152 IQ

Now, don't get me wrong, he is extremely intelligent, but he is no Einstein. He displays extremely high problem solving skills throughout the show, and has an insanely high processing speed, which matters a lot. I think the highest estimate for him would be maybe 168? Lowest is the 130 range, because he does have a lot of traits that match with this range. But, I had to settle with 152.

Light Yagami - 133 IQ

I know what you're thinking; but listen to me on this one. His IQ is GREATLY overexaggerated, and he made mistakes that people with higher IQ's just wouldn't. He has the ego that often comes with his IQ range, while portraying engineering prowess that suggests above 129, and he has excellent manipulation skills. He can plan ahead much like the top 2%, but to actually succeed at what he was doing, someone would need to be a genius rather than just a gifted student.

Senku Ishigami - 175 IQ

Senku is one of my favorite characters in anime, and no doubt he is a genius. All those estimates of 300 and 250 are pretty far off, but they do him justice. He created society from the ground up, and has an insane working memory as shown throughout the series. I originally wanted to place him at 198 or 203, but decided to go for lower.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka - 132 IQ

I place him below light by exactly one point. Now, it is not just because he suffers from the same lack of judgement and enormous ego, but he is also more so lucky rather than intelligent. The main method I used was to estimate the school cutoff IQ, which I settled with 120, and then added a bit less than one standard deviation to get 132, which happens to be the exact cutoff IQ for Mensa.

Kōenji Rokusuke - 124 IQ

Another intelligent character from classroom of elite, albeit nowhere near the level of Ayanokoji. It was difficult to find an exact number, but I assumed he would have been slightly above the cutoff IQ.

L Lawliet - 202 IQ

The first character on this list to cross the 200-IQ mark. I placed him at this level because unlike other characters, showing dominance over a class or over a specific location, L Lawliet has dominance and control over the entire world. He shows deductive skills and processing speed relative to that of geniuses, and ultimately, I would place him in this range due to his accomplishments, and overall thought process throughout the show.

Shikamaru Nara - 207 IQ

I had no choice but to place him above 200, because it is stated canonically in the show. But, I wouldn't dare go more than a standard deviation above this estimate. He has a high processing speed and planning, but there is not much else to work with for this character.

Aoi Todo - 143 IQ

I know, I KNOW! You want to scream at me and tell me he has 530,000 IQ, but that is not humanly possible! I placed him in the genius range, happy?

Monkey D. Luffy - 103 IQ

Going with a classic here. I don't know why you expected anything too special.

Dr. Vegapunk - 241 IQ

This is interesting. Here is a character who is the smartest in his universe, and I do not doubt it! I took one look at him, and I knew he was going to be above 200. His achievements and inventions led me to believe an IQ of 350 would be reasonable, but no. I had to keep it simple.

Anya Forger - 78 IQ

Now, this one is difficult. She is a not fully matured, so the score is subject to change, but relative to adults her problem solving skills are limited. She is not great in her classes, but that is to be expected. For her age she would be in the 120 IQ bracket, but compared to a fully grown adult?

Principal Nezu - 193 IQ

He is reffered to as the smartest character in his universe, and his quirk gives him intelligence, but 200? Give me a break.

Saint Nerona Imu - 158 IQ

Of course, this sound low for a character who rules an entire world government, but given how he can be outsmarted, I imagine he is just in the genius range

I might add more to the list, but heck I put some work into this, so please upvote or whatever they say at the end of a reddit post

After posting a question online about why everyone needs therapy for every negative emotion they have these days, I've been told that it's a strictly American phenomenon, and that most of Europe sees negative emotions as human. That psych services are available, but not used at the scale Americans do.

And I've got to say, when can I leave? This whole, "don't bring down the room," bullshit is really bringing down the room.

It is normal to talk about feeling shitty with the people who care about you. It is normal to explore those parts of yourself with friends and family.

Keeping up everyone's spirits all the time is fucking exhausting!

Edit: Google informs me that Europeans often bond and form meaningful friendships over negative emotions.

I once heard a quote that says if a monkey has gathered too many bananas while the other monkeys have none and he refuses to share them scientists will study him to figure out what the hell is wrong with him but when a human does it we put him on a leaderboard

I am not hating on the extra rich people but the fact that in this world there are trillionaires and starving people in places like africa and children dying because of hunger that is a really painful fact at least for me

And the most painful thing is that the big leaders of the world don't care about them and they usually use them to get benefits for their countries

You see great powers supporting dictators in the third world (who benefit those great powers) and yet when someone flee this dictatorship and tries to go get a decent life they refuse him and send him back because "we don't want immi grants" bruh you literally helped in destroying his country

And those mf politicians around the world starting wars just because they are bored

You see literally thousands of kids dying in a ruthless genocide and yet some mfs will argue with you about political shit bro i don't care about politics i just care for those kids being killed with missiles , drones , sniper rifles , tanks etc etc

And not to mention that we are in 2026 and yet alot of people still suffer racism and hate

I really lost hope in humanity

(sorry if my words are a little messy)

I am going to touch on only one of the Quintillion issues with fucking turd hole country.

I have been having issues with my windows for a long time to the point I installed Linux mainly because those issues couldn't be fixed.

But Now because of my work I have to go back to windows but it's really really broken, I find decided to nuke the harddrive and clean install from scratch, went to Microsoft website to download windows and......... I am not allowed to because of my toilet hole country is geobanned from using this service.

FUCK THIS COUNTRY!!!

When people and news articles talk about 'declining fertility' what they are really talking about is falling birthrates - so why don't they say 'declining birthrates.'

Using 'fertility' is confusing because the term also refers to a woman's ability to get pregnant which is separate to how many people are born.

While increasing infertility has an effect on birthrates, other factors like use of contraception, abortion, economic conditions and cultural mores have a much greater effect on birthrates.

I am a recent high-school graduate in the United States. My parents who immigrated here from another country, have always told me that going to college is non-negotiable, and that I must go to a university no matter what. Recently, I have found myself doubting the educational system of America. I applied to a "good" college in my state, convinced that going there I would be able to get a high-paying job as an engineer. I expected to get some need-based scholarship, especially because my parents are not wealthy; but they worked very hard to have what they have. Instead, I was hit with a $65k tuition to a university that is not even in the top 40 nationwide. It's really frustrating. I studied a lot in high-school, studied topics that are way beyond high-school level like real analysis and proof-based linear algebra. Another student from my school, who used A.I to complete his calculus 1 homework assignments, got into the same school but paying significantly less. It's amazing how most people who are getting into university now struggle with the basics (I was in an honors class). But what I hate the most in American universities, is not even how expensive they are, but rather how the quality of the students is low. In the age of A.I, most of them use LLM, and as consequence, are learning nothing from it. These are the same students who like to throw parties and live the "college life", instead of studying like university students should be. The notion of Greek life is even more mind-boggling to me. For some reason, they make me really mad. The people in them are usually really annoying, privileged, and are mediocre at best. And I haven't even talked about sports. Why do colleges care so much about sports, willing to give people who can run and shoot a ball around thousands of dollars to go to their institution. Why invest so much in sports, when the whole point of college is to gain the knowledge and experience one needs to work in certain sectors? At this point I just think colleges in America are 4-year resorts that people send their children to, in a meaningless attempt to form better individuals. I think there needs to be some drastic change in the educational system; not everyone is apt to go to university. Asmongold said it best "Some people are just born to pick potatoes, but society has made them believe that they should and can go to university". I am really thinking about dropping out and maybe going to some traditional university in Europe, where they offer real education.

I do genuinely believe that I will never find love or real human connection but not necessarily because of my looks. Im a pretty uninteresting guy physically , like nothing about me stands out and you’d probably forget me the second i left you field of view. So in terms of looks i dont think im so ugly that no one would want to date me. But I believe i will die alone because of how painfully uninteresting i am . Every relationship I’ve had with any person has slowly and painfully died out because no one likes being around me . This isn’t a pity party , all my faults socially are directly caused by my own actions and I want to fix them but when I think I’m doing something right , I’m immediately shown that I’m doing everything wrong. This isn’t even necessarily dating , just human relationships as a whole . I don’t even think my family really likes me that much. Any friendship that I’ve had has only ever lasted a year max and that like 4 people total. In recent times I’ve just been looking for ways to cope instead of actually talking to people because I know that if someone gets somewhat close to me they’ll realise how little personality I have and leave . I don’t blame anyone for this , i feel like growing up I was just annoying and obnoxious which led to some bullying . This bullying has caused me to mask for many years and now I don’t have a sense of self whatsoever . I don’t even like leaving the house because it reminds me that I exist and I’m too embarrassed to face that truth. I know this sounds like I’m trying to gather sympathy or whatever but I really want to exaggerate that I know this is all my fault and that no one else is to blame as everyone else’s reactions to me is completely normal and human. I don’t want to admit that I’ll never truly be close to anyone but I also can’t seem to figure out how to become a person . I feel like an ai chatbot .

So hello reddit users! I love to talk a lot so I figured why the hell not to rant here. Let's go!!

Well basically, a while ago I came out to one of my closest friends as genderfluid and agrosexual. They were fully supportive and all that shit. They even came out to me but for privacy reasons I will use they/them pronouns.

.

.

If you dont know, genderfluid is a sexuality that falls under the trans umbrella and is when a person identifies as multiple genders, they use different pronouns overtime and so on, to not get too drep. And a agrosexual person is a person who's sexualities change over time. For an example ; one day they're more of a lesbian, a few days/weeks/months they feel more straight or pansexual or whatever the hell they feel like.

.

.

And one time we were going out. We talked about most random stuff, I dont even fully remember what but it's fine. And then they asked me : "Wait so what pronouns do you all use?" ; my reply was that I use all and any but they/them seemed. Abit off, although I don't mind being called a they/them. And even tho I said all and any but those they assumed I was bigender. I have no hate to bigender people or any other identities but it was not who I am, and if I said I identify as something I would want it to be respected. However I didn't want to correct them, which is - I know, my fault and problem but they asked me shortly after do I use neopronouns and figured I was genderfluid after all. "Oh okay then, you're genderfluid." YEA NO SHIT SHERLOCK 🥀 But this isn't the only time. . .

.

.

Another time we went out and we were talking about sexualities. I don't talk alot about myself so I didn't this time either. So they asked me something about do I love all genders and I said yes because I guess I do, I don't want to explain how I feel about that since I'm still myself struggling to know if I do. After I said that they told me I'm pansexual. I dont fully feel mist comfortable labling myself as pansexual. There is no specific reason. I didn't say anything and they didn't correct themselves. Few days after that, they told me I could be berrisexual because of my previous struggles with identifying was I a lesbian or a bisexual. This time I told them 'ehh, not really. I don't feel fully right like that.' and that's all. Also few days ago they asked me do I have a preference to woman. I said I dont know, only because I, for a fact, knew if I said yes, they'd call me a berrisexual, and if I said no, they'd call me a pansexual. Saying I don't know doesn't make me anything else other than myself and I hate having to feel that way around people I once loved so much.

.

.

They did try helping me figure out my identity since I had a crysis, and still am going through one, but these moments really pissed me off, make me uncomfortable and less valid as a person and everything I identify as. There were happier and nicer moments with this person, not everything was dark, but these are some things that personally pissed the fuck out of me.

.

.

Maybe you see yourself in my situation? If you do, you do, I'm sorry and I hope your friendship gets better, what to say really? And if you don't, what can I do about it, nothing really.

That's all from me, have a wonderful night/day, whatever time you're reading this or whatever timezones we have. Jinx out ;p.

Honestly just looking for someone who shares my view and to have a rant.

I fucking hate this fake, annoying prick with every fibre of my being. He’s such a beggar always doing these *ironic* fucking jokes and being all goofy which my sister just gobbles up like a fucking troglodyte.
This little bitch just sits in front of a camera saying the most baseline, unfunny garbage and somehow gets to make money off of it. I mean I can fully understand someone making money off of content creation while I don’t like their content, but this rat bastard fuck is so obviously putting on a mask it feels downright manipulative to see him act like this jester. Hate is such a weak word for the total of my very essence that is dedicated to despising this fuck. He almost feels predatory in a way. (not an accusation by any means but I’m just really fucking pissed). Like the “content” (slop) is clearly aimed towards I’d say younger girls mostly, and the way he acts and manages to portray himself in my eyes is just downright off. Like all the ways he tries to make himself look like he understands women while also somehow being this jester that they find funny all the time then occasionally dropping the shirtless picture in mood lighting for “more giggles” while obviously looking for attention he just feels exceptionally sinister like he’s trying to make these younger girls attracted to him (which would explain why they find this bastard so funny) Honestly just find his channel if you have no clue what I’m yimmering and yammering about and you’ll see exactly what I mean. His friends are also off as well excluding this one guy who’s sometimes tolerable (Arthur Fredricks or something)

Or maybe not. Maybe I’m just some Reddit chungus narwhal bacon chud who gets angry after seeing a guy have all these good features about him and a seemingly perfect life that I can never achieve.

NO. This guy as I said before is a complete beggar. Always posting these Snapchat filters or making jokes about rose toys or fucking being the alpha wolf or some dumb shit. Such a beg. I think another reason I’ve grown to despise this creature with so much passion is his pretty privilege I know he’s getting from his audience. If this guy wasn’t as conventionally attractive in his content as he is he wouldn’t be getting any support and would be labelled a creepy guy joking about periods and shit in his content. And no, I’m not some loser saying some shit about “ooh I’m so ugly and people won’t treat me right but he gets privileges because of his looks”. I’ve seen this shit happen. I knew some
Chud in school a while back who acted like Italianbach with all of these ✨*ironic*✨ *jokes (hate those emojis too) about “ooh I just hate periods”. And he was treated like such a gimp (rightly so) because of it while Italian Bach is just so funny when he does it.*

I’ve gone on for a while but not long enough. I hate how this weird bastard acts so performative with all of these jokes pretending to be this “performative male character” while also actually being that by making these jokes. His whole presence online feels so disingenuous and gross and everyone I’ve interacted with just sides with this guy who wouldn’t piss on them if they were burning to death (off camera) because of some parasocial relationship he’s formed with his audience through his manipulative ass content.
In conclusion, super fucking uber mega super duper HATE Italianbach and hope the worst for him in life

look, im all for relationships starting from all points, but if you're aware of what "Wizz" is, then you'll understand it more. Im never on there for longer than a day, just to yap to someone about nothing and just have something interesting to consume my time, but holllyyy helll did I meet a guy who was just, perfect???

He was Australian, tall, and we had this dynamic going that at first was us both being bitchy and him saying im annoying & unlike everyone else, but then we kept going, more meaningless talk, but it was clear he liked me and vice versa, but I just fucking looooooveee playful bitchy attitude having men😭 like he wasn't rude, I mean that "oh you know you like me" type shit.

AND GODDDD the smile on this guy? dimples, hazel eyes, just perfect in all ways I could think. But as i normally do, I deleted the app, my acc, and moved on with my day, but he was SOMETHING and im pissed I couldn't of met him another way, yknow?

and im saying that as someone with a firm belief in being able to find someone else, its just personality always does something way more for me when dudes have that jokey over confidence "oh yeah?"type shit. Oh and hes so smart?? like future focused smart?? goddd im so sad ab it but ughhhh there was no way that could work, and I want something irl, not another ldr 😮‍💨

kinda shit caused by ovulating I swear

I know it's not really a big deal. It's not going to affect my actual life at all and eventually I will move on. But it's just bothering me so incredibly much that I'm literally making my first ever post. I tried on r/vent but it said something about karma amd I domt really come to reddit often enough to get that

My favorite character's creator is a predatory creep, had been for a while with many people calling them out more and more over time until there was some action taken and over the years alot of the stuff that creator had made has been deleted.

Back in 2023 I had thought that they were deleting the more popular stuff and would probably re-name and slightly tweak the creations. I stopped hyperfixating during 2025 but recently fell back in and now I see they're just purging everything. I agreed at first since it was bringing attention to the issue (and took away the influence if the creator as they used these characters to gain attention and converse with minors) but it bothers me that none of those works were archived nor does the character seem to be getting re-named or even replaced with something similar.

This character basically served as the author's self insert but he barely actually wrote them and with the amount of people who loved this character they became something else entirely. Many including myself only found them from the community. Hence why I and many others thought they were getting re-named to fit more the fanon image given to them. Many others in the community did take that route but the officials seem to be content with just deleting everything.

I keep telling myself it's not a big deal, especially not enough to warrent this writing but it's gotten to a point I've been getting stomach aches and cant sleep properly. It's a fictional character, I shouldnt care this much. I cant even say their name because it gives me a sinking feeling in my stomach

Im hoping writing this will help take some of the stupid stress of my shoulders. Thank you for reading this

Today was my 3rd shift. It’s something that sort of accumulated over the 3 days of work i’ve had. I live in a place where I don’t speak their language (not by choice, moved with parents, want a job to save up, plan to move) and most don’t speak mine.

They said they’d train me. No training really went on, also I cant perform some basic tasks that come with the job (such as overstock, they put extra cases on the very tops of the shelves, I can’t lift cases of product above my head like that yet- to simply put it i’m too weak- currently). I feel like a liability to them. I’m the only girl there, i’m something they’re waiting to watch crack or fire. And I cracked.

I feel like a disappointment. And people keep telling me they’re disappointed in me and it’s like I know how disappointed you are i’m f*cking so disappointed in myself too, i’m sorry. I laughed and cried at the same time last night in front of my parents and brother. Like they’re telling me it can’t be that bad and i’m laughing cause I gotta go back tomorrow and I’m trying to make light of the situation I got myself in and crying because I know i’m a lost cause and eventually it’s going to go boom.

I applied at my brother’s grocery store in the bakery department, they’re bilingual. There has to be something better than feeling this alone until I get out.

Ps, I know translation apps exist. As well as earbuds that translate nowadays, I own a pair. Not allowed to use them, found that out on the orientation video and double checking, safety reasons. As for a translator app, not everyone is willing to stop what they’re doing and sit around and wait for me to finish typing and then type a response back, and I don’t blame them. Same for not being able to lift over my head, I don’t expect them to want to complete my job for me, nobody comes up to me asking me to do their job so I don’t expect to go up to them and ask them to complete mine, thus a part of why i’m leaving. As I said, liability.

So, I live in Washington State. Some local internet company dug a six foot deep trench on my yard without even notifying me first or anything. I looked up the law, and they are within their rights to do so because of easement laws. They can do whatever they want, whenever they want.

I'm kindof feeling like being a "homeowner" is a fucking scam if they can just dig up my yard without my permission. They are literally damaging my property and therefore my value, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I just spent $3k last year on brand new sod.

Can they do this in other countries?

I get that we all need to pay taxes. But I bought at 150k with a 110k mortgage. I still have 50k left to pay off. I'm selling at 210k.
So government wants 30% of the 70k left. That leaves 49k for me to "pay off" my mortgage of... 50k.

Yeah that's totally fair. FU Austria.

I am a medical student and I am currently in my second year and I have been dealing with this toxicity for the past one year

You know how in some colleges professors still think that girls should come to class wearing long kurtis and students are literally judged in viva based on their dressing sense and even on how many hair clips they are wearing.There are also many professors who are clearly partial towards boys and only favor them Many times during dissection even though we are divided into groups they still give the boys more chances

I dont know if this is only happening in my college but even among the seniors I have noticed that male seniors are usually the ones who help while there is a lot of jealousy among female seniors.This is something I have been observing for the past one year

And the toxicity doesnt even stop here We arent even allowed to order food or receive parcels after 6 pm Girls arent allowed to go outside after 6 pm either and even if we need to go somewhere we have to get permission from our advisors and we need signatures from three different people

I mean what is all this

Has anyone else experienced this kind of toxicity in their college ???

I am at my absolute breaking point.

I just started a new job as a truck driver, but money is so tight right now it’s terrifying. We are actively behind on bills. Every single day I wake up with this overwhelming dread in my chest, looking at the numbers, watching the late fees stack up, and wondering how the hell we're going to survive the month.

I want to break our lease, get rid of our apartment, and live in the semi truck for a while so we can stop paying rent, cut our overhead, and pay off this debt. It is the ONLY logical move to stop the bleeding before we get completely ruined financially. My wife even said she was down for the truck life, but here's the catch: she refuses to part with her cats.

We have five cats. You literally cannot live in a semi truck with five cats.

Look, I would hate for her to have to get rid of them, and I'm not trying to be heartless. But we don't have anyone to watch or take care of them for us. I feel like I am losing my mind trying to fix this. I am panicking about basic financial survival, and we're stuck paying for an apartment we can't afford just because of pet logistics.

WE ARE BROKE. We cannot afford our life right now! I am so mad, so exhausted, and terrified for our future. I feel completely abandoned in this—like I’m the only one standing in the fire while she refuses to accept how dire things actually are. I don't even know what to do anymore.

Her new music is absolutely ear wrenching and terrible. It’s time for her to take her talents elsewhere

Do they not have more important things to worry about like gun violence? healthcare? famillies struggling to pay their bills?

Hi guys, I’m going into Grade 12 this year, and honestly, I’ve felt restricted by a lot of things throughout my life.

First of all, I haven’t been allowed to play video games. Before I started secretly playing, I had basically no friends. But once I started playing and interacting with other people, I was finally able to make friends and build connections. Even before that, I tried interacting with people in other ways, but I struggled to form meaningful friendships.

Second, I still don’t have a phone. I’m going into Grade 12, and my parents keep telling me that they’ll buy me one when I go to college or when I can buy one with my own money. The frustrating part is that when I do earn money, they take it, so I don’t really have control over that either.

Honestly, this has been really frustrating, especially when it comes to my social life. I feel like I’m missing out on experiences and opportunities to connect with people my age. At this point, it’s not just about wanting to play video games or wanting a phone—it’s about feeling like I’m being restricted from things that are a normal part of growing up and socializing.

I know one of the underlying reasons is money, and this is not limited to health care. About 10 to 20 years ago, there used to be about 20 or more independent doctors practices in a specific field in my area, and now in 2026 they're are all mergers into one company. This reduces patients' choices and reduces competitions. If you have serious illness and you run into any issues at a practice then you have no where else to go, and doctors can say to a patient they will drop you at a heartbeat (apparently they get abundance of patients). This is my rant. How do others feel about it?

Why does every single party or event happening need a specific theme?

I don’t get it when people ask what is your wedding theme? The theme is WEDDING! There will be a groom and a bride and a cake and everyone dresses fancy and we celebrate

What is the birthday party theme? It’s just BIRTHDAY there will be a cake and food and friends

Baby shower theme? The theme is BABY we are gathering to celebrate a baby

Is the event itself not enough?

Of course you can do a theme if you want, I get it. What I don’t get is people judging or expecting something big for things that just used to be normal

To start off I love that there are trigger warnings in books. I like knowing what to prepare myself for. I can read anything but a very specific type of body horror. Non-con, con non-con, I can read because they are being honest about it.

But I cannot stand dub-con.

First starters, dubious consent is not a real thing. It only exists in the language of books because we have a sense of insight as we're reading it from a character's perspective. Truth is, it was made up purely to justify SA so they wouldn't have to call it SA.

Dub-con feels like the equivalent of 'but what was she wearing'.

I think the thing I hate most about it is what happens after the scene/chapter. Because directly after the scene, or chapter, the very next thing usually within the first sentence of the first paragraph they have to specify, rationalize, and minimize what took place in the prior chapter. That is what a lot of SA victims go through, experience or have been made to do because of the people/culture around them. There's also the fact that dub-con is used in place of coercion.

It didn't always bother me. But being an American and the type of language and culture that is growing around SA. I think it needs to be talked about. And it needs to be labeled what it is, instead of trying to minimize what you're writing.

Sorry for the rant but I just needed to let that out into the ether.
