Note: as Gunnerkrigg (and [[spoiler:Annie]]) is English, I\\\'m going with [[https://www.childline.org.uk/Explore/AbuseSafety/Pages/Emotional.aspx Childline UK\\\'s]] definition of emotional abuse (and yes, I am reading far too much into this): \\\"puts you down or says you aren’t good enough,\\\" \\\"ignores you or leaves you out of things,\\\" \\\"says or does things that make you feel bad about yourself,\\\" \\\"pushes you away or makes you feel like you don’t belong in the family,\\\" \\\"tries to control you or push you too hard,\\\" \\\"stops you from having friends.\\\" [[spoiler: Remember: this is a man who did not even speak to his daughter for years, then re-entered her life and demanded she dance to his tune -- no forewarning, no explanation (\\\"Dad, you\\\'re missing a limb!\\\" \\\"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME!\\\"), no negotiation. A {{Jerkass}} is unpleasant, but a minor inconvenience. Anthony is a wrecking ball]].
Anyway, if it turns out he\\\'s a benign figure with only the very best of intentions -- or there\\\'s some other trick at work -- then his defenders get to gloat twice as hard when they do the justified edit.
