You beautiful bastard that post is art, i'm mad i can't rate it twice.
Another thing that i got from reading those 3 massive turds of pdf was that, most likely due to Gliph only knowing their family and Marl she seems to fall instantly in love with whoever (or whatever) didn't show absolute contempt for her existence and was useful for her. Marl, Eevee, Pengo, all of them people who had some skills Gliph didnt had and thus shown financial gain to offer also they didn't retch upon witnessing her, Marl? gotten rid off started to write herself, Pengo? dropped under the bus to make amends to Marl, made her own "music" Eevee? i wonder how much he has left.
And then she has the gall to present herself as an authority on gender and children when she acknowledges how full of abuse and degeneracy her love life is? goddamn
Had a small sleep and a big think and wanted to put my thoughts in order now that I've had time to mull on the docs and why I'm willing to believe Glip and Pengo's narratives that they are at least true to their personal perspectives of what happened, but that belief in the events themselves is not the same thing as agreeing that Glip has gotten better as a person.
In my teens I had lived in a similar situation to Pengo, although I never went so far as to actually meet my abuser or their groomed partner offline, and their partner wound up reaching out and siding with me after comparing notes and finding a trend. I can empathize with Pengo wanting to believe Glip's narrative, and there are a lot of aspects of Glip's story relating to parental abuse and how that affected their decision making that I absolutely can understand, as someone who went through a similar situation (barring the physical rape and dogfucking).
With that said, Glip is an apparently very traumatized person who has shown a long history of being
unable or unwilling to read an entire quilt made of red flags, and that makes Glip leading a community of similarly traumatized children extremely questionable. While they might be willing to glance back at their prior actions and admit that they could've done more to try and understand what Marl's victims were going through, there's still the fact of the matter that Glip had been abused by Marl in the exact same way he was attempting to do to BigFluff and Pengo. You do not get to claim ignorance that your husband was trying to groom minors into having sex with dogs for pornography after he actively pressured you into doing that exact fucking thing when you were barely legal. I get codependancy issues are a bitch to live with, and I get being afraid of questioning an abuser; but for fuck's sake Glip, there were more people at risk than just you. And, since you failed to bring this entire 400-page package to the authorities in a timely manner, people are still at fucking risk, like "Val".
I understand not wanting to victim blame, but Glip really needs to understand that this entire issue has two primary problems, those being Marl's abuse
and Glip's inaction. Divorcing Marl and just letting him walk is every bit as negligent as firing cops who deliberately murder people instead of charging them; at the end of the day, Marl can just move to a new state and set up shop there instead. He is already dating a new victim because you were too scared to do anything. Nothing happens to abusers for as long as people are willing to shut up about them once they're out of sight, and they fucking rely on that to survive in normal society as predators.
All this is to say; Glip is absolutely not fit to run a queer teen help line on the fucking Floraverse Discord. Glip (and Eevee, really) is not an expert in avoiding abusive situations or even holding people properly accountable for their actions. Glip needs to go to psychiatric therapy. I can understand it's expensive and there's fears of not being believed or what the fuck ever, but Glip being abused and manipulated by Marl does not disqualify them from being or becoming an abuser or manipulator in turn; if anything, it increased Glip's chances tenfold under the premise of projecting their trauma onto other people and hurt them under the guise of helping them, which is something we are starting to see on Glip's Discord under the pretention of "attack therapy".
Tl;dr; Cool story. Get help, Glip.
