      Years later, in another context, when she was losing her temper at yet another news article about federal farm subsidies going to prop up failing rural communities

      Years later, yes. I think there's an important throughline though, which is that she is so angry about her personal small-town experiences that she cannot even tolerate the idea of them continuing to exist.

      It's not just about that, it's not like small town *aesthetics* are a "trauma trigger" like she's upset about tractors and the smell of compost and shit It's some pretty fundamental stuff that people in our society don't question but is deeply fucked up

      The way low density and isolation fundamentally rob human beings of *freedom of choice*, that they enable petty tyranny -- every man's home is his castle, and therefore every man a tinpot dictator over his household

      Something that, in theory, is the whole thing NitW is about -- the bittersweetness of being lost and alone and forgotten etc etc -- but that Ellie is right to be angry about because the game very much *does* softpedal the issue

      I am completely on board with her hobbyhorse about how a twisted consequence of "diversity mandates" in casting and the uwu Internet culture of saying "portraying trauma is causing trauma" is a whitewashing of what society is still actually like

      I'll say that she (and other people with this complaint) has no apparent awareness that the things that get the big bucks are the trauma porn. This remains true across most if not all creative industries.

      yeah, not real happy with my performance in the last iteration of this topic because it went in weird directions and I wound up arguing from a position I didn't interrogate well, though people grandstanding to me in my mentions about the AIDS crisis and then sulking off was wild

      fwiw I had been moderating an ask-lgbt account on Tumblr for a minute and got deluged with angry calls from the rainbow cops for my cancellation because I said that policing BYG from OwnVoices writers was a form of silencing and I've still got a chip on my shoulder about it

      honestly what I'm realizing is that while I'm personally disgusted by cishet writers making porn of my trauma for a *cishet* audience, as long as they're making porn of my trauma for *me*, I will lap that right the hell up Figuring out how to navigate that ideologically is a WIP

      Yeah this seems to be a theme in why, in the current environment of 2020, lots of people are heaping praise on Bit for successfully doing a movie about a trans person that speaks to trans trauma "in code", that *never once* says the word "trans" or "transition" onscreen

          It may well be that in 20 years the tide will turn on this and people will call this a cowardly writing decision and say that this makes the film feel awkward and alienating to them I dunno, you can't predict these things, it's how the culture goes

          I mean to be clear while there were a lot of people within the community who disliked, say, Rent when it came out (and were often accused of crab-bucket-style envy for it) it would've been hard to imagine at that time that *this many people* would backlash against it so hard
