also i’m willing to bet that the “rapist tendencies” of demonkind have way more to do with the prejudices against them influencing their actions than any kind of “biological predisposition” for such things. it’s the vicious cycle that locks impoverished peoples into that very poverty. sure, particularly robust individuals (like aya here) can break the mold with tons of work & no small amount of willpower, but to actually brake the rest of these peoples out of the vicious cycle takes society coming together and making a conscious effort to help them. if you look back at relatively recent history, we’ve seen this process started a few times on a properly large scale (us civil war, initial communist uprising in russia, us civil rights movement, just to name a few), but all of these have been hampered severely by dissenting parties & general burnout of the subject in the media, so the fact remains, at the end of the day, we still have so much work to do. that’s why blaming any individual for their own poverty is so counterproductive; and even in the infinitesimally small chance that it was somehow their fault, they are so clearly stuck, why shouldn’t we help them?
( oh geeze that got a bit preachy, sorry... it’s still info that needs sharing tho so i’m still gonna post this; just know that if you can’t process all that or don’t want to take my exact word for it, i understand. oh, and i should note that by “we” i mean “society as a whole,” tho just by using “we” as a shorthand for that i’ve implicated the background of mild privilege i’m speaking from, so sometimes u just can’t escape the preach)
