   Karin: Pitying Voldemort

   In this episode, Karin talks about incredibly difficult subjects, such as generational and sexual trauma, and yet is able to talk eloquently and with surprising empathy and groundedness. Content Warning for talk about self harm and emotional, physical, religious, and sexual abuse, as well as rape. Also talk about genital disease and damage, and a mention of BDSM. I also recognize that hearing two trans folk talk about Harry Potter may be difficult for some. Spoilers for Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Harry Potter, and A Very Potter Musical.
