[P] There's something dark that lies in the neurotypical psyche that I really don't like. I'm disturbed by how... frankly omnipresent it is. It has much to do with essentialist xenophobia and goes something like this: If an exotically non-human—unrecognisable in any way as human—mother and child are depicted, both must suffer, they must be seoarated and tortured. This is enjoyed Universally by all neurotypicals.

[P] See, this is what bothers me. "It's just fiction. Lawl." No, it isn't, you blithering idiot. It sits in the human psyche, stories become a part of language and expression. So if stories are always depicting the separation and torture of mothers and daughters, that makes it fine to do that to anyone we declare non-human in reality, right? And scientific atudies have shown it DOES have this effect on the psyche.
