Whats worse is that most of these authors arent doing it for awareness .. they just think its 'interesting' to add as a plot or to make part of their characters personality . Its really sad . reply
As controversial this take may be but I wholeheartedly agree. Some people don't even put TW on their videos anymore and just shove it in your face describing the details sometimes even so to a 100% like wtf I don't need to know that. SA is very common but most of these people just do it for the shock factor or attention. They don't portray it well....... reply
I concur. I think the authors saw how popular the stories on "black flags" were and they thought they should take that route to and capitalize in it. Not much thought goes into writing these days. reply
true, there's literally a lot of things a human can be traumatized of, we're complex being after all. its so uncreative (shout out to BL stories) 1 reply
I don't think it's the fact that a lot of characters have it that is the problem, it's more the fact that it's not treated seriously.

I mean, I understand rape and sexual assault is a serious topic to speak about and should be made aware of.. But I feel as if every character these days have been either been sexually assaulted or was touched as a kid. I know this is such a non issue but I feel like a lot of people are downplaying the seriousness of the topic sometimes and just add it because they couldn't think of a good way to develop their character

Mexican food.
There are so many different cuisines depending on the region of the country, but most people only know the most famous/common ones like tacos or mole.
For example, in Guadalajara there’s a dish called carne en su jugó, but a lot of people not from that area have never eaten it or even heard of it.
It’s really good. 1 reply
