Revisiting Alone | Final Nail in the Coffin

[@Meromorphic]

No Children Instrumental cover: drive.google.com/file/d/1310GmDyY3LZK5cjugOURFbqpVAeXLiam/view?usp=sharing Many of you have commented that there is a high-pitched noise in the video and indeed there is around 15-16 kHz -- which is outside my (and most people over 30) hearing range, hence why I didn't catch it. So, apologies to my younger audience. I will fix it in upcoming videos. Unfortunately there's no way for me to replace the audio without deleting the video first.

[@ivanbluecool]

This was such a good episode on how it shows just because the abuse ends doesn't mean the pain is gone and how each cope with or live with it since they all work and have to for survival

[@E3AloeLi]

That’s true. For me, I could have been like Nurse Bindi(? Bendy?) but I luckily didn’t get pregnant. I spent the whole of my high school years coping alone cuz I was too scared to tell my parents because they said they’d kill me before.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@E3AloeLi good thing you made it out of such a bad situation. That's true strength right there.

[@SeanStrife]

It's actually a shame that this episode is what got Moral Orel cancelled because... this was, honestly, my favorite episode. I'm a sucker for character deep dives, and Bendy's story in particular hit me harder than any other in the episode, even at the time.

[@Grim_Sister]

I think there was a comment in the OG Moral Oral video calling out Adult Swim for removing the show once Alone came out. Mostly because this episode, like many others, showed uncomfortable truths in Bible Belt towns. The difference is, this one spoke directly and succinctly about these mistreatings, rather than use some new absurdist way to cushion the blow

[@Grim_Sister]

Wow, this blew up. Thanks for the likes!

[@victorhurwitz5559]

​@@Grim_Sisteras it should my dear as it should.

[@Extremelysloppyproductions]

Even disregarding context, Nurse Bendy's scenes are probably the most uncomfortable scenes I've ever watched. Everything from the line delivery to the lack of background music helped to deliver an incredible amount of atmosphere. The director and Nurse Bendy's voice actor both did stellar jobs in making easily (at least for me) the most effective and well-done scene in the entire show, maybe in any show. Even upon rewatch, I still get chills.

[@matrixiekitty2127]

Her cry of despair over the teddy bear, “not you too!” Is GUTTING! They did such a good job portraying the pain and discomfort of it all!

[@trentinolaspari72]

I definitely felt like I grew a bit from this episode. Nurse Bendy was nothing but a punchline for most of the series and this episode just turned a mirror on all of that and... wow. This was such a powerful episode it's a shame it caused the show to end. Moral Orel was so far ahead of its time.

[@madisonrose42019]

my grandmother had a full hysterectomy at 18, leaving her to go through menopause at that same age. censordoll reminds me of her in so many ways. even though my grandmother was able to have one child before her procedure, they still have such similar qualities and beliefs. it’s like the creators actually did their research which is amazing to see when this phenomenon is rarely ever talked about.

[@lainiwakura1776]

You never go through puberty or menopause if your ovaries are removed as a baby or child.

[@madisonrose42019]

@@lainiwakura1776 babies and children have progesterone and estrogen in their bodies just like us. removing the uterus or ovaries in any human would cause the production of those hormones to stop and send them into immediate menopause, even if they’ve never experienced puberty. female infants actually experience variable estrogen production for the first 2 years after birth (called “mini puberty”) so removing the uterus or ovaries could have major hormonal effects.

[@IvyMae2009]

As someone that personally relates so Nurse Bendy’s story the type of coping that she uses is called Age Regression. I personally think that’s what it is because I personally go back mentally to a more simple time in my life before my assault. And thank you for making this video because consuming content about sexual abuse can help some people cope. I love your channel so much and Thank you so much for making this videos.

[@Angel-ky3rb]

Me too actually, I often regress and it makes some daily tasks a little harder than they ought to be, it manifests in my sexuality, my mannerisms, my day to day life even if im not regressing at that time. Makes it very hard to connect with others and find acceptance, not to mention im also autistic. Im happy im not alone seeing this comment was great, sad this episode is what did the show in but it was great to see, im glad i got to see it. Im glad someone out there sees me and portrays struggles near and dear to my heart for everyone else to see.

[@original_demonic]

Tuca and Birdie really showed a very healthy view of overcoming the type of thing that Miss Sculptham went through. Birdie was attacked as a child, and then preyed upon by her employer with rough sexual advances. She then begins to find herself guilty when she has a sexual fantasy about one of the encounters with her boss. First she thinks it’s the toy she used, then the mattress, and then she goes to her therapist when nothing worked. The therapist said that it’s okay. That she just enjoys a power imbalance sexually in a safe environment. The attacks could have been a cause, or it could have nothing to do with it, and she’s just correlating what she knows in her mind. She’s reassured that humans are into weird things, and it’s about pursuing them safely so that they don’t create harmful effects later on. She then goes to her long term boyfriend about it, and he agrees to try it out and is completely understanding with the whole thing. He’s a supportive partner throughout. Miss Sculptham is the other side of that coin. When there isn’t a support system there and all you can do is regress into how much of a horrible person you must be for thinking anything like that. That you’re so hurt and alone, with nothing that can really be done about it other than stay away from others. You create that cycle but it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of the attacker, and to break out of it is an extremely difficult thing to do, Especially when you’re on your own. She can’t separate the incident from her own healthy sexuality, which then creates scenarios where she feels guilty, and not like a victim. She’s stuck in the “I don’t have the right mindset to be a victim” mentality that so many of us end up in. She’s extremely upset over this whole thing, but the shame keeps her exactly where she is. She did a good thing. But it doesn’t feel like it, because that’s how it works with sexual abuse. Sure it’s not going to happen anymore, but what now? I’m not fixed, It hasn’t undone my entire experience. It’s stopped it from continuing, which is always a good thing, but I’m still here, broken from the experience and in a hole I still can’t get out of, regardless of if my abuser was free or not. I took their chance away to treat any other person like this, but they still treated me and potentially others this way. They still damaged us. When that combines with fantasies that are most likely safe coping strategies to take back control over the incident(s), it creates a perfect storm of feeling like you were the one who was wrong. You wanted this, or at least didn’t fight enough. You are as disgusting as they are for having any of those thoughts, and you’re also disgusting for “letting” it happen. All that’s happened is that you feel constantly on edge and unsafe, but sickened by yourself for thinking about it in any other context. When you have no support system, there’s no way to get out of this. You’ll perpetually think like this, possibly seek out partners that will hurt you in a similar way. It’s what you deserve and it means they’re not hurting another person after all. When you say it out loud, it sounds horrific and over the top, but this happens over the course of years when there’s no one there to help. You spend years repressing, or regressing, or looking at yourself like you’re the monster. It sounds made up, but it’s one of the most common things in the aftermath of an attack. Though not right away, the thoughts slowly creep and your mind runs with anything you think to make you the problem. It’s how so many victims commit suicide, or begin harming themselves. It’s completely illogical from an outside perspective…but until you’ve experienced your own head telling you that you deserved to be attacked, it’s going to sound ludicrous. For anyone out there, you’re not alone. None of us are ever alone, even if it feels that way. All it takes is for you to reach your hand out of that black void for one second and ask for help. That is the hardest step, but I know you can do it.

[@toothless2067]

This video is so well made. I’m usually skeptical about watching men talking about how women deal with trauma like this, but you did it so wonderfully spoken, thoughtful, and respectful. We need more people like you good sir. You just earned a subscriber

[@madrusinek]

YEEES! I watched a video about Lacey Games recently, by a man, and his observations were so shallow and vapid. I’m not trying to be mean, but I could just tell that he couldn’t fully grasp the games and why they’re so meaningful to women.

[@Dingobabee]

I personally think that she didn't actually intend to catch Mr. Creeply She just left her door unlocked one night, and was assulted, but was able to get to the police before he could escape. But being a hero is how she and the rest of the town can cope with the idea that she wasn't sinning by being raped

[@emo1ife]

Adult swim having the nerve to cancel the show after this episode is so infuriating especially knowing that while Moral Orel talked about how SA can affect a victim in a realistic manner instead of it being treated like a joke (unlike other adult animated shows who make SA jokes and don’t take the victim seriously) they get a free pass. Not surprising just disappointing Crazy how it only got treated this way because it wasn’t having humor moments anymore and was getting too “depressing” for their taste

[@Grim_Sister]

I feel like this episode was Emmy material? Like, it’s incredibly strong and very well put together. You actually feel for these women. I wish it got that Emmy and showed Adult Swim that talking about uncomfortable issues can actually be rewarding and help adult animation be taken more seriously before shows like Bojack came along

[@SeanStrife]

Sadly, when the show was on the air... we just weren't ready for those discussions as a society. I actually really liked it when it was on the air, even if just because at the time I was a dipshit edgelord atheist living in a town very much like Moralton himself, but even the edgelord in me felt a pang of hurt seeing Nurse Bendy's story in particular. But... at that time, again... we weren't ready for the discussions that Alone brought to the table. It feels like we're at least better prepared now

[@ilottieglo]

Thank you for making this! There’s so many women including myself who can truly identify with and relate to Miss Sculptham & Nurse Bindy. This video allowed me to learn more about the SA spectrum as a whole and to understand more of the psychological repercussions of SA from adolescence into adulthood & this can give so many women the spark to go get help and know where to start, or how to explain it to medical professionals, family members and significant others. A lot of us just don’t know how to explain the way we feel because of the “perfect victim” framework and a good chunk of us don’t fit that and instantly disqualify ourselves from receiving help. the self loathing is real, the mental anguish of not even trusting your own mind eats at you day to day, and watching those around you flourish while you stay in the same place drives you to more extreme ways of thinking. not all of us are courageous enough to get help but i know so many will feel seen and understood from this beautiful video❤️

[@MDonuT-of7px]

I just wanted to say that as a male childhood SA survivor, Alone resonated with me immensely. Its hard to face reality. Its hard to accept that a person that you have to trust, will hurt you beyond belief, and never face justice. That you have to face this person on a daily basis, and remind how weak you were. It doesn't go away. That sadness stays with you. Sometimes, being a grown man playing with action figures or reading comic books helps. Sometimes, a fantasy of the Punisher saving you from your abuser, and making the woman who hurt you (or man, for other people's cases) face an iota of the pain that you have, feels cathartic. Its nice to escape, even for only a little while. Sometimes, the pain is just too much.

[@mollysmith5517]

I cannot thank you enough for the consideration that went into this video! Not to mention your eloquence while discussing such difficult topics. I’m a survivor of SA and I can honestly say that I’ve rarely seen those with a platform handle the topic of SA with as much care as you have. I cannot voice my appreciation enough

[@matrixiekitty2127]

The deep exploration of how sexual trauma manifests was raw but so important. It’s sad that it’s what got the show canceled, honestly that says a lot about the network at the time to not want to explore such important subject matter. I’ve found comfort in the “imperfect victim.” I was confused and angry for years over how my body responded when recalling my trauma, but learning I’m not alone really helps.

[@silentsword136]

This show is so ahead of its time holy fuck it’s such a good show

[@reign.deanna]

I just finished rewatching the show, and though I know the tonal shift within the series has been covered half to death, something that really pushed it that extra mile for me was the way that the naming conventions of the episodes changed. The first two seasons have episode titles that are more lighthearted, and easily understandable without viewing the episode. It's stuff like "Turn The Other Cheek" "School Pageant" "Charity" etc. But all of season three's episodes have one-word vague titles. "Alone" "Sundays" "Help" "Honor", they're titles that make sense in context, but without context they are just confusing and enigmatic. To me it just makes that final season feel so much more bleak and dismal, it just further reminds you that these episodes aren't fun and easily summarized adventures like what they used to be. Now they're hard to understand, menacing, and oftwn without peaceful resolution. It's like the innocence of what happened before is all gone, and now only the people and their conflicting morality are left behind.

[@Ironcorgi2]

It’s interesting that adult swim saw nature and said “that was great go darker!” And the creators did just that making one of the most uncomfortable episodes about sexual assault and how treated the trauma with a respect for the harm it does unlike a lot of edgy cartoons in the 2000s did (even morel Orel unfortunately)

The character Bertie spends a lot of time delving into her trauma, including sexual trauma

[@American_cynic.420]

Censordoll is such a depressing story, even for a gal who doesn't live in the environment the town she lived in, I can still picture the type of damage it would do to a woman to not only use her fertility. But also having to look in the mirror, see the gray hairs, the wrinkles when your not even 45. And considering this kind of crap happens frequently in nations female genital mutilation is common, it just hits all that much harder.

I was hesitant to watch this episode as Nurse Bendy's vignette hits close to home for me, but was pleasantly surprised that you didn't talk down on it or view it as a joke. This is a great video for men who don't understand what the big deal was. Or honestly just people who victim blame in general. Also the speech about the perfect victim was really important, especially coming from a man. I don't mean to reduce you to "a man" but the fact that these points are coming from a man is really important post-man vs bear. Seriously, thank you for this.

[@TheBabblingBabs]

Love the video, as a victim myself, it's nice to have people speaking about these themes. I will say though with Ms. Sculptham, I'd look at an episode of Tuca and Bertie for a good example of a part of what she's going through. I wouldn't call it Stockholm Syndrome symptoms, because Stockholm Syndrome is more of a misogynistic creation. I would really recommend looking into Bertie's situation with Pastry Pete as a comparison to what Ms. Sculptham is going through in certain aspects (specifically fantasizing about her abuser).

At least is conforting that Nurse Bendy got a happy ending reconecting with her son and having a real family, in the not animated scripts(in the episode he shows she ends up dating a female guard after rejecting the prisoner if i remember correctly) Miss Sculptham found a person who loved her and Miss Censordoll... Well we can discuss if she either deserved a happy ending since it seems she was planned to be a a bad as Clay and probably the most radical christian of Moralton and probably would be the villian in future seasons

[@SteppefordWife]

My experiences are much like Ms Censordall's (at least in how I was treated). Not because of any forced infertility, but the way my autistic traits were interpreted by those around me. Disqualifying me from inclusion and being deemed romantically, sexually and socially undesirable in every respect. And for a time, I was controlling and had a bit of a superiority complex like her (oriented around my productivity, physical and mental strength in being able to do so much alone - rather than around peity and religion). Therapy, becoming liked and desired in adulthood and thereby building an actual social support network around that (of real people, not just fictional characters) has helped to undo that and I am much MUCH mentally healthy and have been for a few years now. Since becoming healthier though, that's opened up the idea that maybe I don't actually like or want sex and my intense vulnerability in wanting to be desired before fully realising a healthy middleground led me into the opposite situation. More akin to Nurse Bendy's. I intertwined sexual desire so deeply with belonging and social connection that when I started to realise it was hollow and all people came to me for was sex / would lash out if I did not reciprocate in a timely manner I felt completely out of my depth. It's from the kindness and community of people who actually liked my real company that made the sudden backwards stumble into the other deep end a. be shortlived and b. Be a much softer blow because I finally had people who supported me. Tmi but yeah, Alone hits HARD for autistic women like me.

This doesn't get brought up a lot in retrospectives, understandably so since it's just a minor detail, but before the establishing shot of the apartments for spinsters (which is comically depressing and bland) the camera pans past apartments for 'bachelors'. The bachelor apartment is all stereotypical playboy and hugh hefner. One of the things I think is most unique about Moral Orel is that no characters are ontologically evil. Every abusive parent had a parent before that, and the whole cycle stems from societal issues, not inherent tendencies. I just think it's interesting when the show does more subtle commentaries like that, especially in their episode on the horrors women face in conservative patriarchal societies.

[@ppang5839]

this show really was ahead of its time. i hate that this episode ended the show but it’s meaning was impactful. trauma of any kind isn’t funny and im glad moral orel pushed those boundaries. i heard ms.censordoll say she is 40 and I wondered what aged her. now I feel guilt for misunderstanding her. i appreciated this video and hope that your message is spread. perfect victims do not exist. I have never heard something so comforting. truly trauma is extremely complex and there is so much doubt involved. there isn’t a blueprint for victims just like perpetrators.

This episode wrecks\wrecked me

[@mudslicker3122]

The show got so much down to brass tacks that it had to be lassoed and then euthanized. Dino’s snark about the one remaining joke made me chuckle. Nice revisit.

Loved this! I honestly think you should do an analyzation of F is for family, I feel like it might suit the style of your videos

[@blossomentrails3398]

Omg yes please!!

Hey, still listening to Sweet Trip since you introduced me to their music on your first Moral Orel video, thanks!

I got to say the censorship of the screwed up words really made My skin crawl just from the sound alone

I don't know if anyone has said it but I definitely love the discombobulation of Dino Stamatopoulos's last name every time you say it

Essentially this show was "Black Friday Incident"-ed, but unlike Pixar animators and their unwillingness to push the envelope as far as Disney wanted them to until they took it too far, when Cartoon Network told them to up the ante, they said okay, and became edgier but also not completely funny. Basically, where season 1 treated rape as a joke to be laughed at, season 3 finally took it seriously. And that wasn't what CN wanted for the show.

i have dissociative identity disorder, and i'm a little in a system. i have a real connection to nurse bendy because of my own trauma causing me to age regress. her story, even tho it's not real, it's very similar to mine and i think it's done in an incredibly realistic way. and i really love this story and i wish there was more stories about age regression.

YOOO SO EXCITED FOR THIS

[@Bashuraptor]

I had a thought about Ms. Sculpthum. Could her motivation for catching Creepler be Doughy? Yes she used him, but I feel like there was some form of fondness for him, and hearing about that could be what set her off to get him?

[@smiley3176]

do you ever plan on releasing the instrumental cover of no children you played in the beginning of the video? it sounds really good :) . very good video as well !!

I feel like "trad-wife" and conservative culture is a few steps away from full on oppression and abuse. You can have mostly traditional values while still not abusing women. I've seen a harmful trend of stereotyping around conservative culture that paints it all as purely anti-freedom. That's a reductive mindset that generalizes people. I've seen progressivism take on radical and oppresive stances, just like what conversativism is capable of. I feel like it's important to remember that some people do enjoy traditional roles of femininity and masculinity and that it's not always a forced decision. Like any cultural mindset, it can fall into extremes and it is important to be mindful of that. That ending note about tiktoks just felt like the same kind of generalization that conservatives would make about liberal media trends, taking it as radical indoctrination instead of just expressing what they enjoy and value. There's a big difference between traditional media showing women that like to care in the house or men that like to work to provide, and someone spouting about how women are only valued by their bodies and that men need to maximize their sex and money. Placing it all under one umbrella paints away the nuances.
