I think it's awesome that they recommended bthd, but uh, I can't say I recommend the podcast. As a survivor, I was very hurt that they called my favorite character a "spiritual rapist" and condemned him for watching "violent pornography" and implied he was grooming Nepeta. I'm not defending the robot heart incident, but "spiritual rape" is a Mormon term used to describe "deviant" sexual desire. Even if they didn't mean it that way, it's gross to say this about Equius, especially as he's so thoroughly steeped in "deviant" queer culture. Equius is a 13-year-old virgin. He is not a groomer. He is not a rapist. I know one of the authors is bisexual, but I still think it's on them to be careful about how they describe queer characters. I'd be fine with them accusing Equius of sexual harassment vis a vis Karkat or Aradia. I agree he can be a bit of a creep. But he's my creep, ok??? Don't use the same words that violent bigots hurl at queer people to describe a literal child. It's not too much to ask.

Oh, and THEN they proceeded to paper over and downplay the Gamzee's abuse of Terezi. They said "this is just two characters fighting - ANYWAYS BACK TO KARKAT" ugh

UGH.
