Advice: Don't write a parody/spitefic because you think you should. Write it because you enjoy writing it, or don't write. /preaching
I have an urge to make little straw-doll representatives of Anita and burn them. Possibly while cackling evilly.
Seriously, this is disgusting. I swear that Anita didn't used to be thick as a Discworld troll in the Sahara, and she also used to have morality - as in, that she applied to herself. Now, it's all, 'Everything that I do is good! And necessary! And good! And not evil at all! If anyone else does it, it's evil, but I'm doing it, so it's good!'
All of the rape made me think about it generally to escape the horror, and I came to this decision: Anita might be a rapist's worst nightmare. Rape is about control, after all. So they pick this woman who thinks she's so tough, who has all this weaponry and never uses any of it so they can feel that they're even more impressive due to subduing her - and then they find that she's enjoying it, which she shouldn't be, and she isn't feeling ashamed of it or disgusted with herself or losing her self-esteem, which is what they want, and then they find that they're bound to her as her slave and losing more of their free will by the moment... ...And now we know what the deal was with Micah.
I am becoming more disturbed chapter by chapter when I consider how the series as a whole will/would end. Anita as the unwitting figurehead for a regime that has total power over everything, whille JC deals with all the 'boring' (read: important) things? Everyone agreeing that things are so much better now like the submissive little mind-wiped drones they'll become? A horrifying dystopia that LKH will genuinely believe is a utopia?
