continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

This. Also, it's hard to communicate the depth of the wtfuckery until you hear the prose about "protecting the life I literally held in my hands", "I would die or break my legs before allowing this child to be hurt", "This child trusted me beyond all rationality, beyond reason. The idea that I would hurt him is unthinkable. It's heady stuff."

Dude, who decided to take him up a fucking cliff in the first place?

Like you said, it's either classic Andy-flavoured melodrama about mundane stuff, or a complete fabrication. If it was real and occurred as described, it would be child endangerment.

I have never needed to emphasize that I would never hurt a child. When Andrew vehemently denies something/goes all "I would NEVER" I think something fishy is going up. He didn't care about the small animals he hurt, children are perfect targets for his fucked up make believe.

Andrew Blake is a godawful human.

DA
This!! These kinds of statements always put me in mind of the Captain Awkward posts about how being told explicitly "I would never hurt you" is actually a red flag for abusive men - if they have to say that, it means they consider harming you on the spectrum of possible actions available to them. Not hurting another person is the default state, not some superhuman act of goodness.

Yep. It's right there in the speech - "the idea that I would hurt him is unthinkable". Dude - you just THOUGHT it. I've never in my life held a sleeping baby and had to consciously tell myself I wasn't going to hurt it.

Also, you take a baby on a climb up a cliff, you are endangering him so much you might as well be hurting him. I'm really glad this was all likely false, because they honestly could have killed a kid.
