from the careless language of sexual violence (2011) by roxane gay

"There is comfort, I suppose, to consuming violence contained in 90-minute segments and muted by commercials for household goods..."

“The distance and detachment of a reader who must leave his or her body behind in order to enter imaginatively into the scene of violence make it possible for representations of violence to obscure the material dynamics of bodily violation,

erasing not only the victim’s body but his or her pain.”

"It is the criminal language of violence."
