"OH YOU HATE CAITLYN BUT YOU PROBABLY DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SILCO!"
LOUD WRONG BUZZER OVER AND OVER AGAIN
Not only do i despise Silco as an individual and how the fandom loves to ignore the fact that he groomed Jinx (in a non sexual way) and he is one of the main reasons why s1 Jinx was as bad as she was (no, letting the clearly self destructive person be self destructive is not giving them freedom and it is in fact more a way for an abuser to keep the abused in their control)
I despise the fact that the writers wanted to push the centrist bullshit of "Oh violence against your opressors is as bad as the violence your opressors execute over you" using HIM.
But guess what? Silco being an awful person and character does not erase Caitlyn. They're both shitty people and they're both awfully written only existing for the writers to push stuff like
-Abusing butch lesbians is okay!
-ACAB is wrong
-We shouldn't support revolution we should support a reform!
-Police brutality can be okay if it's a femenine woman doing it!
Amongst others.
Btw i will most likely make another post discussing Silco's abuse towards Jinx because everyone from a Jinx fan to a Kuklux kiraman stan loves to push this narrative of how silco was a "great father" and a "positive influence" bs, directly and inderectly pushing another narrative trying to make Jinx look like a spoiled brat who only did stuff because she was a "UNSTABLE MENTALLY ILL MONSTER WHO CANNOT LOVE AND ONLY ACTS FROM SADISM. AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CHOSE THAT LIFE NOBODY BUT HERSELF CAN BE BLAMED!" And that shit obviously doesn't sit right with me especially if it comes from the people that are now on twitter using raegan's "war against drugs!" As a way to defend their favorite cop.
A caitlyn stan just called me (a bisexual, bigender and ace person) a homophobic fuck just because i told her that being a lesbian doesn't make her literate (which is true because sexuality does not affect any of your intellectual abilities, it is the individual who has them)
Also, shouldn't she be more angry at how caitlyn is actually written? The writers literally wrote this femme lesbian to be abusive to her butch gf only for it not only to be forgiven by the narrative but actually glorified.
I don't know about you but i'd be pissed.
Kind of unpopular opinion, many might disagree but
I don't think people would like canon caitvi if it was a straight relationship.
"That's not true! Straight ships are still more loved than wlw ships!"
While yes that is true a lot of people nowadays (especially people that went through wattpad phases or people that had to deal with the insanity that some romance animes were, me one of those people) fixate a lot on how healthy canon relationships are.
And Caitvi...
Let me just change Caitlyn for an unnamed man so you can see my point.
-If a man who is also a cop hitted his girlfriend with a rifle in a very calculated way right in a spot where he knows it would hurt more, then just abandoned her crying of pain you would obviously call this abusive.
-If a man was esssentially a dictador who opresses the specific group of people his now ex is part of, even doing stuff like mass incarcerations that actually include children and the few leaders that this opressed group has, you would obviously not root for them to get back together.
-If this man used another girl just as a rebound even if for just a small amount of time you would obviously judge him.
-If this man and his ex found themselves in a jail cell (place that should be traumatic for his ex, mind you) and then he just started flirting and started to have sex with her AND THE ONLY THING HE APOLOGIZES FOR IS HAVING USED ANOTHER GIRL WHILE THEY WERENT TOGETHER, NOT THE PHYSICAL ABUSE, NOT THE POLICE BRUTALITY JUST THE FUCKING REBOUND anyone with common sense would obviously not be happy about this.
Of course i know there will be many saying "B-But you're taking out of context many of Caitlyn actions!" My answer will be NO.
In no context is acceptable to (in a very calculated way) hit your partner in a place where you know for a fact it will hurt more (because if you didn't know rifles actually hurt more than you actually think). In no context is acceptable to commit police brutality and put children in jail and in no context is sex a proper apology.
If Caitlyn's actions look even worse in raw words without cute animation or banger songs and replaced by a man, it's very obvious that Caitlyn is the actual problem.
Dreaming of a world where Caitlyn stood up against Ambessa way earlier, was labelled a traitor and thrown in Still water without a trial. Then when Vi comes to free the Zaunites she finds Caitlyn and returns the favour from all these episodes ago after they have had a conversation about how Caitlyn did unforgivable things in arc 1 and Vi went along with it out of love but it wasn't her and she won't let love blind her like that ever again.
Okay hear me out on this, hear me out. What if, instead of Vi “reclaiming her trauma” by doing the nasty with Caitlyn in her sister’s prison cell, Vi could’ve reclaimed her trauma by being the one who set free the zaunties inside of Still Water. You know, the place she was locked up in for years since she was barely a teen? The place she was abused in? The place that would have a more emotional impact for her arc and story? In fact; you could even have Jinx be there as well, make them have an actual conversation that is relevant to the the story? Fuck it, if we must, we can even have her to be the one to see Vander as Warwick. Because in season one they had more of definite and apparent caring relationship.
Just stuff that should’ve happened in my opinion
