I’d like to point out, Ayre hasn’t been affecting anyone’s mind but the player character’s. She made contact with us. There’s the implication that Iguazu, like father Dolmayan, has his own rubiconian stuck in his head, but thinks he’s just going insane.

He’s absolutely sensational in Alan Wake 2. Hell, he was sensational in Max Payne. Sensational in Control. 

This really sucks. It’s such a shame to lose him.

So wait these were the texts they didn’t want revealed and claimed they weren’t relevent? lmao

I will also admit that one of the reasons I believe I didn’t share that aspect of our relationship with friends was subconscious shame at realizing how unhealthy things really were and not wanting to have to confront that myself. If I told someone, they might say, “Hey, um, that’s kind of fucked up and not OK,” which…

She should have, and that’s what I like to think I’d have said, but as I understand how abuse happens, the abuser really breaks you down psychologically until you become completely emotionally dependent on them, so then you’re so desperate to keep them around you’ll do anything.  And they start small with little…

Yes. Anybody who has had someone like this in their life is going cold all the sudden. Or burning with fucking rage. Textbook scumbag.

She should have said, “It’s your choice, Jonathan. You do you.”

After the text messages were read in court, the prosecution asked Jabbari why she initially said she didn’t know how she got her injuries. “I was scared of the consequences of it,” she told the court. “Still wanted to protect him I guess.”

Yeeeep. Even if he never laid a finger on her that would be gross and disturbing on its own. Even worse since it seems to be added on top of physical abuse as well. 

I tell you what, even if he didn’t abuse her (obviously “if” in enormous airquotes), even if you interpret all the facts in the most generous possible light, he’s still a giant scumbag.

I mean, it worked, though.  The immaturity of it is far from the worst problem with the behavior.  He did it because it would work and it did.

It’s ‘Kanged’, ‘Kung’ is the uncertain franchise future tense.

Oooh yeah that’s trash behavior right there.

I forget, the past tense of to Kang is “Kanged” or “Kung”?

What a piece of shit, jesus. 

Yes, it is. It isn’t even a *little* subtle.

It’s not if you want your girlfriend to stay in an abusive relationship and not go to the police.

Isn’t this like, textbook emotional abuse? The instant your partner seems to have a credible complaint about your behavior that someone might sympathise with, pivot immediately to suddenly crashing self-esteem and threats to kill yourself?

34 is far, far too old to be playing ‘well i guess i’ll just KILL MYSELF THEN’ in an argument. not that it’s ever excusable, but that’s the way you act when you’re 15.
