Fury *Triggers here, be careful*

[smokingboot]

It has been a long time since I felt this boiling fury. I didn't even think I had it in me any more. I must try to think try to recall how to put this behind a cut.

Ick. That's a pun though I didn't mean it to be.

So my friend 'invited' me - by which I mean made me a member without asking - to this artists appreciation of pornographic art group, and most of it's boring and some of it is beautiful/surprising/whatever.

So what has just appeared on my feed? What did I get a notification of in my email? Some jerk adds a photo of a naked woman bent over, backside up in the air, pretty much everything on display...with a carving knife sticking out of it.

I wrote that I didn't like it.

The original poster wrote; Are you sure?

He has since taken it down, because, to put it mildly, I reassured him that yes, oh yes, I was sure. Sure is what I was, more than sure. One of the many words that could be used to describe my state of mind was 'sure'. I was not nice; I haven't been this not nice in decades. He told me not to be rude...and my reply was, shall we say, emphatic. Just a tad. He removed the image. Quickly. If anyone in the group tries to give me shit, they will find that I am just as sure, emphatic and not nice with them. Jesus.

But no PTSD - my head whirled a bit but I was too furious for it to take hold. The image would have been disturbing for anyone who wasn't a misogynist into violent rape wank...but I'm actually OK. Hello Anger, my old friend...

Well done.

Thank you - though it turns out I over-estimated both his courtesy and my power of influence(!)...he did not remove the post. He just blocked me so that I couldn't see it. Then the administrator removed it, and contacted me to apologise.

That steps over soooo many lines. Calls to mind that book American Psycho which was everything about violence and power (or lack of it) and bugger all to do with sexuality/sex. Well done for calling them out on it. I imagine your "rudeness" stung less than the depicted act would have. xxx

He was certainly not pleased when I suggested he take a photo of himself in the same position and circumstance, and upload that to the page.

Good for you. Violent rage is there for a reason, he had it coming.

Yes, I think so.

Just don't get where all this stuff comes from...
