About this listen

Innocence doesn’t prevent harm. It prevents scrutiny.

Innocence is not a state of being.
It is a role — learned, rehearsed, and rewarded.

This episode explores how innocence becomes a social performance that redirects accountability, protects comfort, and quietly transfers emotional labor onto the people who were harmed.

Once you recognize innocence as performance, you begin to see what it protects.(Contains mature themes)
