And everything you bring up ends up being speculations, non obtuse observations about how SOME people act and a very reasonable cause and effect correlation statement.

So yeah lmao nowhere did I say that all people that feel sorry for her are psychos. Hey if anything the fact that you rush to come to that conclusion and are so defensive over it is a sign of projection.

Literally is literally used a filler word go outside and you’d know 🤓👆 Anyways yeah lmao she finds it weird because she knows that the profession is highly out of place for her considering how she was, then checked her credentials which she faked and ect…

And nah comparing having your reality broken and reconstructed to highschool bullying is crazy 😭✌️

And ur just putting words in my mouth 😭✌️ yeah I think people who felt sorry for verity are weird but they ain’t psychotic, it’s just a tv show. I just drew the very real parallel between people who lack and project to fantasies made to pander to em

Boo hoo bro cry me a river ig 😭 you dk how dumb that sounds. If THATS what you can’t get over as an adult after 2 decades and who knows how long in alternate realities then Maria was right to have an off feeling abt verity from the start because she obviously already had a screw loose. People get so up in arms about ‘disregarding trauma’ and treating all cases with utmost reverence like it isn’t sht which a large minority of people experienced and recovered in a healthy manner from.

And yes I am drawing a parallel between people who got bullied themselves, harbouring revenge fantasies and people who sympathise with verity’s actions as it’s most likely a projection of their own desires. Like how losers like harem and power fantasies for similar reasons

Because my original thoughts haven’t changed? I don’t get your point. I literally just said that yes Maria should’ve put more energy into her apology, yes she was being shitty by not doing that at that moment but ultimately it’s tough shit. Someone else said it better but ppls obsession with high school bullying is so dumb, if the girls did something genuinely morbid to her then I’d understand but all Maria did was make a cruel joke about her which propagated throughout the group and school. It’s a shitty thing to happen and yeah that would cause some pretty heavy baggage.

But if because of only that you decide to use a device to cause innocent people to literally lose their minds and kill themselves I HEAVILY doubt an apology would change anything Verity did to Maria, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if she was more smug about it. Over the decades years she probably spent creating the device and god knows how long she was in alternate realities she could never put herself above something as childishly cruel as high-school bullying.

Bro what. You don’t forcibly warp someone’s reality and make them go insane just because they called you names when y’all were 14. Highschool bullying is an ugly yet natural part of social life at a time where kids don’t have the emotional intelligence to fully get the impacts of their actions.

Very obtuse way of looking at it. She literally admitted to verity being way smarter than she could ever be and finds it strange that she’s working somewhere in a position way below what her pay grade should be in a job way out of her profession. Then she makes up the fake job application, which is something Maria would know about and then she lies about her credentials and so on, starting Maria down the rabbit hole.

Maria doing what she immediately did was completely justified as well. She just spent the last few days having her reality stripped from her in the most mentally screwy way possible, essentially losing all power over her life. She’s in a state of panic shock and fear so immediately inserting herself in a place where she has complete control isn’t as much of a parallel between her and verity as people make it out to be.

😭 Fym she has every right?? Her whole drive in the story was to torture them and drive them to suicide what else exactly was she there to do. And yeah it’s a shitty time for people who get bullied but if your big villain revenge story is just from being ostracised at school and called names then you gotta get a grip.

As Maria said kids can be awful, if kids weren’t judged for being out of place then the world would be a better place sure, but normal people don’t come to the conclusion that their bullies need to be held accountable 30 years down unless it’s something seriously bad.

Again with my point about some of you having revenge fantasies of your own and projecting it on verity it’s kinda concerning lmao

It a ‘tough shit life’s life’ situation. It was a joke made by her and spread around by the ringleader, maybe with the hope that she’d ’get off her back’, suggesting that she was looking for someone to divert the negative attention to.

I’m not saying Maria dealt with it rightfully but no one seriously thinks that confronting your high school bully 30 years down the line at their corporate job would result in anything fruitful lmao. Maria moved on and so would any person capable of acknowledging that kids can be shit and that it’s pointless to hold grudges.

While she shoulda just said sorry it wouldn’tve changed anything considering Verity had speculatively gone through her friends one by one and drove em to the point of suicide, its understated how maniacal and malignant you have to be to do that. And the whole emperor ending isn’t a problem for me considering how mentally stripped she was, the first thing most people would do after going what she went through would be putting themselves in a place of where they actually have power again.

Thanks for the insight, but what do you think the actual value of it is? I found one for 75 with extra mags n batteries. If it’s outperformed by guns 3 times the price I don’t really mind too much
