Genuinely curious. Why on earth did you do it? Did you want it that badly? I mean, people don't usually go "well, okaaaaay, I really want this movie so I will consent to you sexually abusing me"

Or do you mean the experience of your stepfather asking you to do those things?

[(Anonymous)]

wanted to ask the same thing.

[(Anonymous)]

[thewondersmith.livejournal.com]

Wow, what the fuck is wrong with you.

[(Anonymous)]

Excuse me? I had a valid question. Why on earth would anyone actually accept doing that? I can't even fathom a situation where one would ever be compelled to do so, so I'm wondering why she did it, if she did (did she feel compelled or did she really, really want it for some reason), or is she just talking about the experience of being asked to do it? No need to curse at me.

The demographic for Utena isn't little children, so I'm not thinking that the OP was very young. I could be wrong, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Uhhh when the movie first came out overseas, Central Park Media TOTALLY marketed it as "the next Sailor Moon", eg for little girls. And since when do kids look at a cartoon and go "OH NOT FOR MY TARGET DEMO BETTER NOT WATCH" anyway?

[aquaricom.livejournal.com]

you are asking why an abuse victim was abused?

yeah no thats not a valid question

[(Anonymous)]

You don't have to be very young (or stupid or gullible or anything else) to be coerced by an abuser.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, what the hell, she (or he) didn't do it. Hence why she (or he) still wants to series. If they had seen it already, why the hell would they be wondering about it?

OP, you have my sympathy. People are bastards.

[(Anonymous)]

(DA)

I think we've all got different perspectives on this; from one angle, it's "I did it and got the movie but every time I see it on the shelf I think about it and I can't watch". From another, it's "I didn't do it but now I can't separate the thought of the mention of it from the movie and I can't watch".

And from another it's "trollolol."

Without knowing anything at all about the OP's background it's impossible to determine which is most likely; hence the questions to try and get some more information.

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing. I feel bad that so many people jumped on your tits about you asking this question.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bad that you're actually questioning someone who was abused.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

Ehm, I didn't think they did? Or that's not what I got from the secret, so I apologise if I'm wrong. But I mean, they didn't see the series, so they didn't "consent" to the deal, it seems. Seems to me that OP was just very, very disgusted at him even asking this and possibly felt traumatized by it. Which, you know, is unsurprising. (Unless abuse went on regardless of their reply, which is also a plausible option)

[crown-of-guilt.livejournal.com]

OP wanted the movie. Not the series.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not claiming to know what it's like to be in that situation, but abuse can put the mind in a very screwed-up place. People rationalize things. Humans have a weird way of coping with things, which is why you see people blocking out traumatic memories sometimes, large parts of their life, just to deal with it, as an example.

She could've been put into a pretty fucked up mindset where her stepfather asked awful things of her for plenty of other stuff, and this was just the way things were for her. Not saying that's what it is - I'm just trying to explain a possible situation. She sounds like she was pretty young, too - and kids don't know any better, you know?

Either way it sounds like an awful experience. I'm sorry, OP, that you had to go through that, and have to endure reminders like this in your everyday life.

[(Anonymous)]

The OP obviously was the victim in an abusive relationship. I very much doubt this was an isolated incident in an otherwise normal existence. Other things probably happened, but that time the manipulative pig must have pretended OP had a choice -- this is how abusive people get their victims to take responsibility (read internalized guilt) for the things done to them, therefore ensuring their silence.

[(Anonymous)]

I hadn't thought about that; that actually makes a lot of sense. From the way it was worded, it sounded like a one off thing, but I can see where you're coming from, what with it making it seem like they had a choice in the matter. Thanks for explaining instead of flying off the handle.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

i really wanted it because i wanted to see the movie. my friends at the time raved about the movie and i had asked if this was a good movie to see, especially since i haven't seen the series. they said it was basically a condensed version of the series anyway.

he had also convinced me that i secretly enjoyed it and that he had needs that needed to be taken care of and since my mother at the time was out of the country, because she's in the military, i was the only around who could.

Re: OP

[thewondersmith.livejournal.com]

Jesus Christ. I'm really, really sorry, OP. I'm glad you're no longer in that situation, and I hope you've got good people around you.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for answering. I'm sorry that happened to you, and it sounds like an awful situation. I'd like to say again that I wasn't trying to blame you, and I realize that I should have worded the second half of my question better. I didn't understand the severity of the situation from your secret, which prompted the questions, but I can understand now why you feel the way you do.

Re: OP

[kayfig.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry you had to go through this. I responded further up the post, but I had a very similar thing happen to me, also with my stepdad. It's really a very fucked up situation to be in and you have my support and empathy. I just recently came to terms with it and it's been 9 years.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sorry OP, that this happened to you. And thanks for elaborating when you didn't have to.

[threeonetwo.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter whether they did it or not, because it's still sexual abuse. To have the nerve to ask that of anyone is disgusting and wrong, and in no way the fault of the victim. And it's especially sickening in this case because it was OP's stepfather, who automatically has a certain amount of authority over them to start with no matter what age he came into OP's life. I don't care if OP was 9 or 19, or even older. It's never acceptable to corner someone like that. If you've ever had someone "perv on" you, then you should understand that it can be uncomfortable and confusing and overall terrifying because no matter how much you want to go "uhhh no, I'm going to leave now", there's a fear that they're going to find a way to get what they want one way or another. It's even more unsettling when it's a family member who the victim will probably bump into often no matter what they do.

Victim blaming is never, EVER ok. Comments like yours are the reason sexual abuse often goes unreported. It's bad enough that the abusers make sure to twist what's happened so the victim feels they're to blame. I really, really hope you never meet someone who has been abused in any way. Even if you don't know about their past and aren't blaming them specifically, a comment about a news report or an event from a book/movie/etc. that blames the victim could make them feel pretty shitty.

[thewondersmith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this. Thank you.
