Do Not Ignore What Is Going On In The Philippines.

Do not ignore what is going on in the Philippines.

An human rights worker named Reina Mae Nasino was jailed and wrongfully accused for owning firearms. She was pregnant by the time she was jailed and gave birth in prison.

At this point, Reina Mae Nasino wasn’t given proper care in prison and was only given one medical visit. Reina gave birth to a girl named River but the lack of prenatal care caused the child to have a low weight and skin discoloration. Nasino also had difficulty breastfeeding her and wasn’t getting any assistance for her child. The counsels asked for the baby to be transferred to a hospital for her care but it was denied by the court.

On October 9, River died due to acute respiratory distress syndrome. She was only 3 months old.

Reina Mae Nasino was supposed to have 3 days to say goodbye but the Court Judge revised it and made it 6 hours, 3 hours for the wake and 3 hours for the funeral. She wasn’t allowed a peaceful grieving as dozens of police and jail guards swarmed the area. On October 14, Reina Mae attended River’s wake in full PPE and handcuffs, surrounded by guards because she was labelled a high profile criminal. The guards tried to cut her time with her child short as they tried to drag her away 2 hours before the visiting time was up. She was also not allowed to take off her handcuffs.

October 16, the day River was to be buried. The funeral wasn’t peaceful or respectful as the police swarmed and guarded the area. The car carrying River sped to the cemetery, not giving time for her family and supporters to catch up. The relatives begged on their knees for the guards to remove Reina’s handcuffs so she can hold her child one last time but they refused.

She wasn’t allowed a peaceful goodbye to her child.

She never even heard her child laugh once.

Reina Mae Nasino is not a criminal. She is a political prisoner and an activist who was treated terribly by the police and the justice system.

They killed her child.

There are over 600+ political prisoners like her in the Philippines that are subject to inhumane treatment due to the Duterte Administration and its disregard for the poor and disenfranchised. Baby River is not the only child who died due to the lack of care by the government.

Activists in the Philippines are getting killed, red tagged and treated as terrorists.

Do not ignore this. We need to be heard.

Like this talk of new characters is revealing some gross shit in the fandom tbh.

1) Not everyone who is playing Obey Me is a woman. Like yes a female character would be great for women who love women but you know men and nb people who love women also play this game right?

2) Why do all of you seem to think MC is a woman? They’re not. They can be literally anything because they are a sheep. And we as the players get to decide what they are for ourselves- but not for anyone else.

3) Even if MC was a woman, that wouldn’t mean a female character would automatically be her rival? Don’t be sexist, and also, the female character could be a lesbian or something.

4) Also, why are we assuming a female character would want to date the boys anyway? Literally nothing has been confirmed about this yet so why are we jumping to that assumption?

5) On that note, we don’t even know if it IS a female character. Stop assuming people with that body type have to be women.

And as I already said on another post, the boys like all genders. So a male or nb character could also hypothetically be a rival to the MC.

I’m excited about the new characters personally. And I get y'all are excited too. But I’m already seeing bad and concerning takes about them and I’m already getting irritated to be honest.

(OBEY ME! LESSON 31-9 SPOILERS)

Asmo: Mammon, your advice didn't help at all!

Mammon: That's cause ya didn't FOLLOW my advice!!

Asmo: THAT'S BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE!!! BUT YOU'RE THE DIRECTOR SO IT'S STILL YOUR FAULT!!!!

The fact that this seems to be an Asmo focused lesson is awesome. Also, we're learning that Asmo doesn't know how to be himself or express who he really is on the inside and thus only can express himself through aesthetic and physical, outside means, is pretty. Idk I feel like that explains some things.

Asmo represses everything about who he might be inside because he can't control that stuff as much. The idea that someone doesn't want to see him being beautiful, cares about what's inside, that that's something he should show to be loved, he's completely skeptical about it. He doesn't believe Mammon when he says it--and even if he did he doesn't know how to express the Asmo inside or, hell, even the Asmo outside that isn't just the most attractive being there is. He can't follow the advice because he doesn't think that that's what anyone wants to see and thus he never learned to show or express that.

Even earlier when Belphie asks if he's okay he brushes it off with a smile--bring unhappy isn't attractive, being worried isn't attractive, people won't love him if he has concerns and feelings. He has to be confident and people can't know he has problems.

He understands how relateable that can be when it's others but he sees the expectations for himself as different. So he doesn't show anything less than perfect--except his perfect is so apperance based he hides any feelings or individuality that isn't expressed by his looks deep in his walk-in closet in a locked chest behind the strongest magic barrier he could get Solomon to make for him.

Hell, in the Proud Brothers Devilgram he wants to hide his brothers' quirkiness and oddities from Solomon lest they reflect poorly on him and tries to only present them as cool, powerful demons. He wants him to meet his family but his family is full of weirdos--if they're seen Solomon will think he's weird too. And he can't have that.

Basically he probably doesn't realize it right now but he's the worst kind of perfectionist and his own harshest critic. And he presents himself in such a way that there isn't a personality to judge--because if there's nothing to fault he cannot have faults.

It's pretty sad when you get down to it. I'm looking forward to seeing him sort it out.
