Why do witches like always wanna fatten kids up before they eat them?? fat is like the grossest part of meat
“Why hello there, little children~. Please follow me to my magical… FITNESS ROOM. NO P A N S I E S ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT. LEAVE YOUR WHINING AT THE DOOR BECAUSE IT’S LEG DAY AND WE’RE ABOUT TO GET R-R-R-RIPPE D.”
Because they’re always cooking said kids in cauldrons and ovens - aka long cooking times at lowish heat. If you do that to fatty meat, the fat melts completely and the meat gets tear-it-apart-with-a-fork soft. If you do it to lean meat, you get tiny little sad meat bits that bring no joy to anyone.
well you did ask

I want more stories that normalizes the idea that its fucking ok to NOT forgive shitty/abusive family members and that it’s ok to cut ties with them and NEVER forgive them even when they are on their death bed.

Remembering Japan’s badass schoolgirl gangs
When all-male gangs wouldn’t let them join, all-female “sukeban” gangs formed their own identities – starting with the uniform.
Between the layers of clothing, sukeban girls would conceal weapons – razors, chains and anything else that one ought to take a jot more seriously than a yo-yo. Indeed, the sukeban sisterhood rivalled their male equivalents for violence and crime: facing off with rival factions, punishing girls within their own group (e.g. for cheating with someone else’s boyfriend), or generally colouring suburban ennui with a splash of petty crime. What’s more, Yakuza-style levels of organisation meant that, at the subculture’s peak, the largest alliance had over 20,000 teenage girls sworn in.
They even inspired a series of exploitation-style movies, akin to the works of Russ Meyer. These movies bore titles like Delinquent Girl Boss, Girl Boss (Sukeban), and Terrifying Girls’ High School.
It continues today in the form of all-female bosozoku biker gangs:
As the expectations for young women to marry and settle continue to be a fact of life in Japan, so too has this all-girl outlaw subculture prevailed as an alternative narrative for young women. Today, you can spot them by their embellished and embroidered jumpsuits, floral tattoos, long manicured nails and bright pink, heavily stickered bikes.
There was a comment on this article about bosozoku gangs being very racist/nationalistic (and said they were as bad as Neo-Nazis). That is not something I had heard. Anyone have more information on whether this is true or not?
I hung out with a lot of yankii and low-level yakuza (who probably had some overlap with bosozoku) during my time in Japan. They were definitely pretty nationalist - my drinking buddy Yuusuke had 大和魂 (“Yamato damashii” - old school way of saying “soul of Japan,” with nationalist connotations) tattooed on his chest, and a Miyamoto Musashi quote tattooed on his knuckles. They weren’t super hardcore gangsters - they lived in the countryside and helped run pachinko operations, best I could tell - so while they had mildly xenophobic views, they gradually warmed up to my friends and me. I recall one of them saying, “I still do not like
America. I do like some Americans though.” They occasionally advocated for Japanese-only clubs, banning foreigners from some hot springs, etc. Despite all that, they were great fun and I miss them.City yakuza are a whole different bag, from my experience. While the guys in Tokyo were scary, you could still joke around with some of them. On the Emperor’s birthday in Tokyo, though, I ran into a bunch of guys from the western parts of Japan (we guessed they were Yamaguchi-gumi), and those dudes have NO sense of humor. They got in big loudspeaker vans, surrounded Shibuya (going up against riot cops), and started yelling things like 外人帰れ (“go home foreigners”), shouting “banzai,” etc. I, having a bit of a death wish, pushed my way to the front of the police barricade, got real close to the guy yelling at me to go back to America, and took pictures of him. These gatherings apparently are an annual occurrence on the Emperor’s birthday.
(this entire account was, of course, the point of view of a privileged, obnoxious, and fairly depressed version of me from around ten years ago. take it with a pinch of salt. I suspect I’d have a lot more nuanced take on things were I to experience all of that again, being who I am now.)

In the 1890s, when Freud was in the dawn of his career, he was struck by how many of his female patients were revealing childhood [sexual] victimization to him. Freud concluded that child sexual abuse was one of the major causes of emotional disturbances in adult women and wrote a brilliant and humane paper called “The Aetiology of Hysteria.” However, rather than receiving acclaim from his colleagues for his ground-breaking insights, Freud met with scorn. He was ridiculed for believing that men of excellent reputation (most of his patients came from upstanding homes) could be perpetrators of incest.
Within a few years, Freud buckled under this heavy pressure and recanted his conclusions. In their place he proposed the “Oedipus complex,” which became the foundation of modern psychology… Freud used this construct to conclude that the episodes of abuse his clients had revealed to him had never taken place; they were simply fantasies of events the women had wished for… This construct started a hundred-year history in the mental health field of blaming victims for the abuse perpetrated on them and outright discrediting of women’s and children’s reports of mistreatment by men.― Lundy Bancroft
