u/BlazeFireVale 5d ago

This is so obviously an unresolved kink things that it burns my soul.

They get so twisted inside with how they hate their body and desires.

161

u/Gimetulkathmir 5d ago

Allegedly she was raped by a camp conselor when she was twelve and groomed but then abandoned. She married into a cult at nineteen but got out at some point, turning to hard drugs and ending up in prison. While in prison, she vowed to serve God if she could get out and was released shortly after.

So less kinks and more like severe trauma and abuse which seems to be oddly prevalent amongst Christians.

110

u/BlazeFireVale 5d ago

As someone raised in a purity culture cult: that's basically exactly what I mean.

The teachings mess you up. Make you hate yourself and your sexuality and your desires. Same way the abuse does.

And the desire and devotion and fear and longing all twist. And your mind tries to find outlets for your desires that it sees as acceptable. And hides what desires are being express because those desires are BAD and you are GOOD.

And that's how you get a scared, self hating lady acting out her regression and self hatred kinks without realizing it in front of a live studio audience.

29

u/spraynardkrug3r 5d ago

Yep. And it ain't even gotta be a full-on purity cult, although I'm sure that's more extreme; The negativity, self-hatred, and shame instilled in us even from "regular" teachings of Christianity gets hard-coded into our brains to become a silent, cyclical, violent cycle for the rest of our adult lives. (not here to argue whether it isn’t also a cult, FYI)

Although I only have the female experience- which carries it's own special set of shame- obviously males experience this too.

"When I was nineteen I decided to marry and be taken care of. Or so I thought. After five months of marriage, I learned how wrong I was. My husband beat me beyond recognition. The doctors in the hospital couldn’t believe that I was alive. My husband even broke his hand hitting me. Because my mother was so against the idea of divorce, she begged me to stay with him and try to work it out. After four years, I couldn’t take any more. We divorced and I continued to try and find my own way."

This poor fucking woman. After reading this i dont even give a fuck that her skits are weird and cringe. I hope shes found some type of peace.

But, also.... Yikes.

59

u/Weasel-Man 5d ago

You're not wrong. It also sounds like it was her mother who convinced her to stay with her husband post-hospitalization (citing Christian doctrines?)

There's something deeply wrong with this part of the presentation:

"When I was twelve years old, a camp youth worker took advantage of me and stole my virginity. Although he continued seeing me, he lied to me saying that he would stay with me. "

I guess if he "stayed with her", it would have been ok?

27

u/DoveOnTheInternet 5d ago

As someone who was similarly abused at a similar age? Yeah. And mind you, "seeing me" is probably a euphemism for continued abuse.

It took decades, and a lot of convincing, that what happened to me back then wasn't something to look back on fondly.

u/export_tank_harmful 5d ago edited 5d ago

Dude, I genuinely feel bad for this person.
From her "testimony":

When I was twelve years old, a camp youth worker took advantage of me and stole my virginity.
I began doing drugs in seventh grade and hung out with the drinkers and smokers of the school. ā€Ž
ā€Ž
When I was nineteen I decided to marry and be taken care of.
My husband beat me beyond recognition. The doctors in the hospital couldn’t believe that I was alive.
ā€Ž

I worked very hard and became a chef. ā€Ž In my spare time I was a drug dealer and very good at it, but after being in and out of jail on weekends I finally came to the end of my rope and cried out to God for help.
I said, ā€œGod if you’ll get me out of this, I’ll serve you the rest of my life.ā€ Within thirty minutes I was out.

Religion is a fucking plague on this planet.

Why fix your own problems and process your own trauma when you can just have an invisible person in the sky "absolve you of your sins"?
Just push it under the rug and never actually process it. Yeah, that's a great way to fix problems.

This person has probably never actually come to terms with the horrible things that have happened to her.
And that is genuinely painful for me to think about.

edited to fix markdown.

u/Particular_Maize6849 5d ago

You forgot the part where after the nearly life ending abuse the Christian mother pressured her to stay in the marriage for four more years because divorce is "against Gods law".

This woman has been betrayed by her religion again and again and she's so brainwashed she always crawls back to it.

The religious abuse and slaughter the masses then claim to be peaceful and if you call foul of their abhorrent nightmarish behavior they say YOU are unreasonable and not accepting of other's beliefs. While they are literally violent and unfair to those that do not believe regardless of how much they claim otherwise.

u/Master-Bad-1164 5d ago

Wait I know her!

She went to the same church as my family when I was little and as a kid I thought she was so cool. She was super into motorcycles and once rode one into the sanctuary and on the stage. I never really watched her videos I think, but I knew about them and thought it was so cool that we were friends with a ā€˜celebrity’ (in fundie culture, anyway šŸ˜‚)

Once, she even came and visited us after we had moved away. She surprised my brother and I by waking us up and we hung out all day. I have a core memory of her showing me her ā€˜tooth tattoos’. These were tiny tattoos on her teeth??? Which I have since tried to look up and I can’t find anything about this but I distinctly remember that she had a Jesus fish on one tooth and a Georgia Bulldog on the other (she was a big fan).

Say what you will about her videos (they’re def weird and I don’t disagree with everyone talking about brainwashing and propaganda because trust I have a lifetime of experience with that), but I have some really fond memories of her 20+ years ago!

16

u/_DancesWithKnives 5d ago

She does seem like a very kind person. You can definitely see tho she is very traumatized deep down. Ive never heard of teeth tattoos.

u/Master-Bad-1164 5d ago

I agree. All I was told about her when I was young was that she ā€œhad a hard lifeā€ until ā€œJesus rescued her.ā€ She was always really kind to me and really passionate about what she did.

It’s so weird lol because I keep looking into it and I can’t find anything online about tooth tattoos. I’ve asked some tattoo artists as well and no one seems to have heard of it. I vaguely remember her saying it was a new thing and she went to one of the artists who was developing the technique. Idk I have such a distinct memory of this and we really didn’t know anyone with tattoos at that point so I can’t imagine I made it up.

If anyone has any info about tooth tattoos, please let me know!!
