oh, oh god, don't do this to me.

"but the Aztecs-"

"sacrificed babies who were then dead, not still living and tortured under the guise of cosmic purity"

last week there was an AI project circulating about "PredCon" with To Catch A Predator pedos signing autographs, and we have managed to normalize the acceptance of pedophilia so much that for a moment folks thought PredCon was real. this is our new reality. everything is acceptable if it isn't directly our problem which is exactly the reason I went off on Libes, I am done being a bystander to shitty behavior just because everyone else is comfortable in their discomfort.

yup. honestly i can never be an anime hater because A) child of adult swim B) the core message of “NEVER GIVE UP, BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF HOPE AND FRIENDSHIP EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU!” is so powerfully pro-human and love that immediately suspect skinwalker status of those that have seen The Good Ones and still lambast the genre conceptually. i pride myself on having litmus tests along all axes and this is a big one (imageboard culture had no influence on me i am very normal).

point being, build things. build communities. be the hero, even if it’s stupid, even if you fail. bare your heart to the world and dare it to kill you.

what the fuck else are we gonna do, sell each other fucking credit cards and shitcoins till we’re all dead of whatever the monsanto and pfizer and dupont and glaxosmithkline and bechtel get on to next?

i keep seeing more and more stand alone complexes of just decent people being rad and it gives me hope. none of this will be easy but we should still try to have fun. ‘s what i learned from the internet when the internet was scary; if you do something because you enjoy it, you’re basically fucking unstoppable.
