[P] I love this video because it illustrates what I was talking about the other day.
How all of the following is true for most people: otherness is a kludge; all otherness is otherness; and all otherness deserves suffering. And fuck anyone who doesn't believe this, because it's real. Tbe majority can be entertained by suffering if that suffering is an other. It makes it acceptable, palatable.

[P] Any time you signify otherness in fiction, then dole out a punishment for that otherness? It blossoms into this acceptance of punishing all otherness this way. It doesn't matter whether it's a "monster" or a person, if your writing is poisonous enough to create a separation? You've now normalised whatever punishment you used in the mind of the reader, it's now a valid punishment for otherness. It's how humans work.
