I need perspective

(Anonymous) 2015-09-14 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
In the canon, character A slaps character B hard. A and B just met each other when B causes the death of A's son. B can see ghosts and sees A's son, and passes along what the son is saying. A cannot see the son and slaps B when she says this, saying she's evil and mind-fucking him. However, they end up killing monsters together shortly after and A lets B go.

So, A/B is a ship of mine. I feel like A's actions can be excused given that he's just met B and she just got his son killed (accidentally). He doesn't hit her again in the series. But maybe I'm being an apologist? What are your thoughts? If I was trying to sell you on this pairing, how should I present this event?

I think A's actions make total sense in the context they are given, and given that it never happens again. I don't think it's problematic the way you've described it here.

B got A's child killed? Yeaah pretty sure that slap would be quite understandable.

how?

A is going too easy on B.....

I don't see that as a problem at all, and am kinda curious what the canon is.

Men do not hit women. Ever. There is not ever an excuse for this. "It on;y happened once" is one time too many.

Okay, what if she's an ax-murdering Nazi who is coming after him with a flaming ax to kill some kittens that he's defending

Why make a rule blanket gender-specific tho. It depends on context. Practically speaking tho men tend to hold most of the power (physically, financially, situationally) when hitting - so a husband shoving and hitting his wife is usually more alarming in terms of warning bells than the reverse.

Men hit women in self defense, just like anyone else has the right to. Stop it, you're deliberately ignoring context here. A grieving parent sees the person responsible for their child's death? That's hardly domestic abuse if it's just a slap. Is hitting "okay"? No, I, a woman, can't promise I wouldn't do the same if I saw my hypothetical child's killer. Maybe worse than slap.

And unless you think it's also unacceptable for women to hit men, you can go fuck yourself.

You're getting better at this.
