I wish every person in an abusive relationship to notice how disgusting it is, and be free.

But for that we must find the courage to face reality's true horror.

By letting go of false promises, hope & dreams. Waking up to the real nightmare. To stop falling in the trap of guilt, shame, being fooled, fear of loneliness. It's hard but better than being trapped in hell.

We must be free from a fake love to find a true one.

That starts with self respect, self care, self love. Having boundaries and the courage to defend them by walking away from the unnacceptable.

While gay consensual love can be beautiful, pedophilia is always abuse. Because the child is not mature enough to give informed conscent and won't be able to handle the consequences. Children have to obey authority to survive, they must be protected from the abuse of that power. Their needs are more vital than people's perverted desires.

I read the story of a little girl who've been raped so savagely by her father that doctors had to operate on her displaced vital organs several times. Her story was so hard core that no lawyers had the courage to hear it. So she was left to suffer for decades in spite of too much efforts.

This is why I make dark comics: to practice facing reality. To cope with humor instead of denial.

People abuse us because we want to believe the beautiful dream that everything and everyone is positive. They use it against us. It's arrogant of them to want to use us for their profits... but it's also arrogant of us to think that everyone want to care for us selflessly.

We all must do self care. That's how we get true power in our life.

I won't allow myself to close my eyes, I'm not affraid of the dark, the light blinds us anyway.

I can see manipulations and gaslight now. So I can escape danger.

Sorry for ruining Harry Potter with dark humor, I had to expel the idea haunting me.
