rmxstudiojd:mysharona1987:zarabithia:dailydaredevil:But after I lost my sight, after my abilities developed, I realized how many sirens there actually were. How much this city suffered every single night. I tried not to fight, to make my dad proud, to block it out. The sirens, the pain, the fear, all strangling Hell’s Kitchen. For years, I buried my head and turned away. Then one night, right after we quit Landman & Zack, I heard it. A little girl. Crying in her bed, in a building down the block. Her father liked to go to her room late at night, when his wife was asleep. I called Child Services, like you’re supposed to. But the mom, she wouldn’t believe it. Said it wasn’t true. And the dad, he was smart. He made sure what he did, how he did it, didn’t leave a mark.Okay, admittedly I haven’t seen this show yet, but this … scene really doesn’t make me want to.Because here is a thing that is really gross. Using the rape of any woman, but especially a LITTLE GIRL, to prop up your superhero’s journey. If your story about rape is ever about anyone’s journey except the rape victim, you are telling a shitty story.tbh, I kind of saw it as, man, rape is such a horrible, fucked up crime it was the thing that finally made him snap. It emphasizes how terrible an act it is. I get what that person was saying, but I agree with mysharona1987.While I would prefer a rape mention to more actively involve the victim of the rape telling their story–like in the book Speak, I also think that the fact he finally decided to take action to get the justice the little girl deserved after suffering from such a heinous act is not so bad. -- source link
