Looking into Bucky breaching Ayo's trust in him
Ayo and Bucky share(shared?) a bond, maybe a friendship even. They trusted each other.
The wakandans helped Bucky get through decades of trauma when they absolutely did not have to. They put in their time and resources. Bucky trusted Ayo with his mind. Which is A BIG DEAL considering he did not trust his own mind. He trusted her enough to go through his trigger words with her because he knew she'd handle it if things went south. And she was gentle with him, and genuinely happy when he was finally free. It didn't seem like she considered it as just a job. She seemed just as relieved as he did. She's seen him go through the whole process of desensitization to those trigger words and she stayed by him to the very end.
Ayo trusted Bucky too. Ayo is Dora Milaje. Remember what Okoye said? Wakanda always comes first. Their duty to the country and their king always comes first. It is the purpose of their life. And Ayo had to deal with the guilt and disappointment of failing at that duty when her king was murdered. Now imagine how she would've felt when the man who killed her king was freed from imprisonment by this person that she trusted. How are some of you going to ignore that kind of disappointment? Because your favorite was momentarily hurt or because you genuinely cannot accept the fact that Ayo is capable of emotions? Have you never been let down or betrayed by a friend? Ever? That shit feels terrible. What bucky did, without prior notice, was essentially a fuck you to everything she and her job stands for. So her disappointment and anger toward bucky is 100% justified.
But she still gave him time. Why? Because she still trusted him. If he says it's a means to an end, then it probably is. She was patient with him when she absolutely didn't have to be considering the weight of the situation because she trusted him. So she gave him time.
Now the fight with walker? That's just that. A fight with Walker because the man just had to be the alpha dog in the room. Bucky and Sam engaged in the fight so that the Dora Milaje wouldn't kill him, because they very well could. The grace time they gave was up and they mean business, their focus was zemo. Walker was just an inconvenience.
My theory is that if it hadn't been for walker, bucky and ayo would've, without a doubt, had a civil conversation again. But everybody got involved in the fight. Yes, ayo yanking the arm out made me uncomfortable and yes, maybe bucky felt hurt/confused. Because I'm pretty sure there were other ways of disarming him instead of actually removing his arm off? It was invasive and unnecessary. But he didn't look betrayed, more so shocked. Shocked that that was possible at all and that was also when he realized he fucked up. And he steps back instantly. They're all warriors, all soldiers. Bucky is highly trained soldier and a skilled assassin who has decades worth of experience in combat. They're grown ass people who know how a fight works. There isn't much room for civility. And what ayo did was not to show him who's boss or anything like that (as much as all the jokes on here make it seem so). She did it out of anger and hurt. They were comrades who trusted each other and that trust was breached by bucky first. It was not her fault because she just used a failsafe that was there for extreme measure.
You shouldn't be dismissing Ayo's feelings and disappointment just because she's not bawling her eyes out about it. You can feel bad for bucky without babying him or ignoring his mistakes. For fucks sake, look at them as whole people/characters and not just good vs bad because everything in this show is gray.

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
âThrough a rapistâs eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewâŠed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whoâs clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they donât have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isnât worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys youâre not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: canât believe it is so cold out here, weâre in for a bad winter. Now that youâve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said theyâd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you canât beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh â HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guyâs parts it is extremely painful. You might think that youâll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and heâs out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, donât dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but youâd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL âŠ.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from youâŠ. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver wonât see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DONâT DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driverâs side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked âfor helpâ into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and itâs better safe than sorry.

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.â
no, canada and the usa are not the same
but the differences aren't what white canadians make them out to be
ask a white canadian what the difference and they'll tell you canada is more 'polite', that we have a better human rights record
which is, of course, absolute bullshit
you really want to know the differences? here are the ones i can think of:
we've never elected a person of colour as leader of the country (fuck obama but cmon guys, jagmeet singh is right fucking there)
we maintain a better reputation, despite doing essentially everything that the usa is criticized for
meanwhile, our record of genocide and slavery is parallel to theirs
indigenous communities still don't have access to safe drinking water
black and brown people are still disproportionately incarcerated and forced to work for cents per hour (legalized slavery)
a man who did blackface and brownface at least three times has led this country for two terms
the liberal party's federal government continues to sell arms to places like saudi arabia, weapons which are then used to kill brown people overseas
justin trudeau is very fond of drone strikes (in asian and middle eastern countries, because if he did that to white countries it would be recognized internationally that he is committing war crimes)
our healthcare system still doesn't include dentalcare, pharmacare, or opticalcare
I could go on, but hopefully you're getting the point. in case you aren't, this is the point
