It so clearly sets up the young girls watching/reading it to accept abusive relationships as normal, and even ideal. Really now, this is twisted shit. She's lured by a man who's way older than her, who has super ( Read more... )

Today I'm going to skin a fish and dry out the skin. I bet it will be waterproof.
