Control

A Stable Diffusion user clearly has more control over the machine than someone using a Nescafe, so why is the standard different?
-- realechelonThe Meaning of 'Made'Control in the context of abuse
*People have this Machiavellian 'villain' perspective of abusers as mustache-twirling, calculating, and scheming. That they are evil and bad. Is there a small subset of abusers like that? Yes. Are the majority of abusers and people perpetuating abusive behaviors like that? Absolutely not. From what I have seen, most abusive/toxic/non-healthy people are just trying to meet their emotional needs with the (poor) emotional toolset they have. It's more like someone who is drowning who is desperately try to grab at anything they can. Their core emotional wound(s) are driving the car and they JADE (justify/argue/defend/explain) their choices and behaviors. There is a huge chunk of abusers (and this definitely applies to many childhood victims of abuse) who are trying to control others because they can't 'control' themselves and their own emotional state. Emotional dysregulation is a huge component of this kind of abuse.
