Trixie has been working too hard as evidenced by her illnesses and the fact that Katya said, “Please don’t be mad at me.” Always be sweet and kind to Katya. She is too empathetic and kind for our hardness. Love you Katya.

@@aquastelliumit’s the second time she’s mentioned Seattle like that too :( I’m not sure if it was lame logistics or behind the scenes stuff? Because the crowd worshipped her, at least from where I was. But maybe I’m wrong and she felt differently, which is her right! I just find it shocking because a sea of people seemed to be living lol I will say she performed for exactly ten minutes. So maybe it’s because the organizers had her slot super brief for some reason? I thought she’d perform for at least 30 mins but I didn’t know how the schedule worked.

[@ericcartman9251]

Not to bring the vibe RIGHT tf down but recent research tells us that assuming most pedophiles were abused as kids themselves is actually a misleading falsehood which only tends to benefit child sex offenders because statistically itś just not the norm. Statistically, most abused kids do not grow up to abuse kids themselves. Perpetuating the abuse is always a choice and manipulating others to feel sorry for you because they will assume that you too were abused, is a highly common strategy adopted in interviews by an offender group so incredibly adept at deception (speaking as an ex crim lawyer working SA cases and having to be up on all this shit for the past 30 years). I really appreciate the girls speaking on this today. My natural instinct was always one of sympathy initially too but now, sadly, I know more. Love to any abuse survivors reading this, stay fierce work it divas and slay hunties xxx

[@emmagsfa]

ok but the instinct to understand WHY the deviant behavior is happening in order to help both the person and deter from any future harms is worthwhile and i don’t think that part of their conversation should be diminished

[@ericcartman9251]

@Emma-tf9jg no sh1t. At no stage did I 'diminish' the need to understand the cause. If you want to seriously examine this topic I suggest reading Dr Anna Salter whose work excavates initiating causes, particularly concerning the mysoped paedophile who gets off on sadism and power.

[@emmagsfa]

@@ericcartman9251 i’ll look into her work because i’m also interested in the criminal legal field. however from the (admittedly) little research i’ve done, there are higher rates of childhood sexual abuse among offenders rather than the general population, though this could be due to a number of factors. it doesn’t seem that explicit? but anyway, my original comment wasn’t meant to negate what you were saying (though like i said, the research seems murky) but instead highlight why they brought up child sex offenders in the first place: not to diminish the impact of survivors, but to prevent more people from having to go through this

[@ericcartman9251]

@@emmagsfa thats great you want to learn more about it, I also want to know more. Plus I love how you referred to the Criminal Legal system rather than the Criminal Justice system - (a semi-movement has started here in Australian legal/ psych circles to only ever call it that now because 9/10 times the last thing the system delivers is justice. ) Best of luck with it honey x

[@JoeMama-tw6gu]

pedophiles (this is a different group of people than csa offenders) do have higher rates of experiencing childhood sexual trauma than people who aren’t pedophiles. they also are more likely to have had a traumatic brain injury as kids. so those are both possible causes of someone growing up to be a pedophile.

[@halleyl1245]

Hello! Linguist here! The phrases Katya is describing is commonly called hedges or hedging in applied linguistics. A quick definition!: In the linguistic sub-fields of applied linguistics and pragmatics, a hedge is a word or phrase used in a sentence to express ambiguity, probability, caution, or indecisiveness about the remainder of the sentence, rather than full accuracy, certainty, confidence, or decisiveness. Hedges might be used in writing, to downplay a harsh critique or a generalization, or in speaking, to lessen the impact of an utterance due to politeness constraints between a speaker and addressee. So using 'I mean', 'actually' kind of hedges the sentence or acts like a buffer between what you want to say! Very common! And the other phrases are platitudes! -"at the end of the day', etc!

50:25 a small list of the 'meatless phrases' Katya is asking for AKA platitudes, general sayings meant to sound meaningful, that are technically true, but cut short a conversation or an opponents point and can say a lot about the intention or (lack of) intelligence of the person using them. -everything happens for a reason -nobody's perfect -it be like that sometimes -it is what it is -that's just my personal opinion -what doesn't kill you makes you stronger -live and let live -we all die someday -c'est la vie

apart from the aforementioned hedge phrases and vocal disfluencies, in classical japanese poetry they are also called "pillow words"; they're almost like dead metaphors which have lost their og meaning, lost their rizz, so to speak, but had become an inescapable part of the convention that, as the linguist above said, to use them established sigmaness over the betas. *biting into my pillow words
