That escalated quickly.
It is about rape, so yeah. The telling of trauma is intentional.
Oh ok, I see it now. It seemed abstract at first glance.
Totally. It is a bit abstract, or perhaps Dada or Surrealism inspired. It could be said that trauma is baked into those movements.
Sometimes to properly show the horrors of the real you have to leave the real behind
Yeah, history and art don’t repeat themselves, contemporaries rhyme with the past.
It’s considered surrealist by which ever groups of Art History PhDs who decide these things
Makes sense.
I read it as about menstruation
Interesting. The sexual assault reading comes from the artist.
My first look was similar. But after reading the comments and looking again, it became more obvious to be about rape.
That’s what I said, in the comments.
I’m agreeing with you.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. Cheers.
Oh interesting. I definitely see that now. I thought it was “passion according to gh”
Seems like a good depiction of what it’s like to be forced to carry your rapist’s baby
I wish someone would fuck me like that… 😮💨

I mean, the comic is so vague you can interpret that as not being about rape.
In which case they are joking about sex. Which is cool.
Things that are common among rape survivors as coping mechanisms:
-Dark humor about rape
-Fantasizing about sex that looks like rape as a way to reestablish a feeling of controlThese are not universal experiences - everyone processes differently - but they are common. Feeling shame about them is also common, or being told that they invalidate victimhood.
I believe you’re trying to help, so I’m not mad at you. But you aren’t helping.
Hmm… How would those survivors feel reading others joking about rape though? Without knowing what place it comes from?
I don’t think we would want to normalize “joking about rape” on the Internet as “okay”.
Eh on one hand yeah it’s probably insensitive to joke about rape but at the same time calling insensitive jokes is just going to bring more attention to it and now everyone is focused on fighting over a insensitive joke instead of focusing on helping those in need I suppose it’s kinda like a scab the more you pick the more the wound bleeds
And where is the context stating this art is explicitly about rape? I just see a spooky black creature stretching out a lady’s body like some Cronenberg body horror.
I thought it was about depression or other mental struggles before seeing the comments explicitly saying otherwise. I don’t think your comment was out of line given that you didn’t know the author was depicting rape.
Doubt that’s what they’re doing. Also come be CNC kink.
Bad jokes about rape are not cool, but if it’s a funny joke…

It’s interesting how the first and final frames have similar poses.

This book is psychedelic.
