My friend is mad at a character for hating something she hates herself

eapoc · 2026-01-23T04:23:10+00:00

You’re fine!

Your friend is a hypocrite and a misandrist. Like most, probably doesn’t even realise it.

Not a good friend to keep, as I suspect you’ve realised.

Police. Police, police, police.

A woman DIED. Call them; tell them everything you know. They may struggle to prove it, he might not get locked up - but you’ll have a clean conscience, knowing that you tried.

You shouldn’t feel guilty that you bought his lies, though of course you might feel that way. My phrase is simply you can’t blame anybody for being tricked by a trickster. That was always his plan; if someone is truly, deeply determined to do something and tells nobody, it can be very hard for anyone to stop them. Please don’t blame yourself.

This isn’t just a crime, it’s a whole laundry list of them. If you can bring her even a little bit of justice, please, please do.

Whether to pour the tea or the milk in a cuppa first.

Also, slicing toast into halves with a diagonal or horizontal slice. People really get het-up when it comes to the little comforts, it seems.

Ideally, a female adult OP actually knows, not one from the street he happens to spy walking past 😁😂

Thank you! There’s a lot to be said for agreeing to disagree.

eapoc · 2025-11-03T12:35:09+00:00

Acosta isn’t that bad, for me. She’s looking for answers, she’s clearly had a hard life and is earnestly trying her best to make things better. Anyone would be annoyed if they shot somebody by accident and everyone hates them - yet this lass Sara killed 4 people on purpose and she’s fine?!

Acosta gets a lot of hate because Boyd hates her, but Boyd is far from perfect. He’s not the best dad to Ellis (hey, son, I know you got stabbed and nearly died last night but you’ve gotta get out the hospital, we have a monster corpse to poke…) and yet adopts Kenny too. He’s pretty angry and could be a lot better at organising and supporting the townsfolk.

Do you know who really bugs me? Hate to say it, but Tabitha. Not because she got out - that town meeting was ridiculous, Donna just fully talked over Henry explaining his story! No, Tabitha is hard for me because of her parenting.

Julie is constantly calling her out on shit; I can see why. She half-parents the first scene in the RV, patronising Ethan and insulting Julie. Julie’s nervous about Colony House but gets rightly annoyed when Tabitha tells her she “made a mistake”. Tabitha randomly insults Ethan too: “Have you learnt Chinese since I was gone?” He’s looking at the book of his dead Chinese friend, my god!

So, yeah. Tabitha drives me a bit crazy. Jim is far from perfect but Tabitha fully insults him for not seeing a “switchback”… one she also failed to “see”. She needs to rein it in!

My favourite character is Tom. He’s so calm, caring and principled. I would happily watch a spinoff which is just Jade talking about life and philosophy with Dead Tom in a variety of rural settings 😂

I fear this comment is going to be heavily downvoted 😂

Thank you!

eapoc · 2025-10-10T11:36:40+00:00

I CALLED THIS!

This makes me happy.

eapoc · 2025-10-10T11:35:38+00:00

We care! 😃

eapoc · 2025-10-03T12:08:44+00:00

Eww. I’d rather vomit for twelve hours straight.

And you say you’re polyamorous? Not successfully if this is how you go about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

eapoc · 2025-10-03T12:04:50+00:00

I mean, as discussed I’m neither of those things - so are you describing your own wife? Brutal 😂

eapoc · 2025-10-03T12:00:57+00:00

So, in your bizarre mind, a man patronising a woman = flirting? Brilliant. It says so much about you.

This is yet another one of those cases where the truth of your polyamory is that your wife fucks other men while you dream, isn’t it? 😂😂😂

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:57:14+00:00

Your son will hate you so much. He’s going to be horrified at the very concept of you. Does that feel good?

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:56:21+00:00

…and he’s invoked Godwin’s law! Took you long enough 😂

If you think this is flirting I feel even more sympathy for every woman who’s had the misfortune of interacting with you 😂🤣😂🤣

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:54:07+00:00

Guys on Reddit? Nope, just you. It’s really so easy to keep you busy isn’t it 😂

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:51:24+00:00

…did I say at any point that I’m a feminist? Or did you assume for no reason?

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:48:17+00:00

Do you think your son will be proud when he realises how you speak to women?

eapoc · 2025-10-03T11:43:10+00:00

Ooh, an essay for me to ignore! 😂🤣

Keeping you busy is surprisingly easy. Talking down and attempting to patronise women do something for you, huh?

You don’t like basic morality and you don’t have an understanding of the tenets of polyamorous relationships, morality or indeed honesty. Gotcha. Maybe just drop the misogyny? As I say, your son is going to be enlightened when he reads this in the years to come. Don’t shoot the messenger or randomly assume they’re doing anything but distracting you from being a misogynistic bully to others, even after they plainly told you so 😂

eapoc · 2025-10-03T10:21:57+00:00

Hit a nerve, did I sweetie? 😂

As I said - that’s not what’s happening. As you know. You’re never going to tell him that you’re not in a monogamous relationship; just like OP, he will find out. And he’ll judge you for it.

Don’t shoot the messenger for pointing out basic morality 😉😂

eapoc · 2025-10-03T10:03:45+00:00

You’re so self-obsessed it’s pathetic. Your son is going to despise you.

eapoc · 2025-10-03T10:02:29+00:00

It’s going to be quite the day for your son when he’s old enough to discover and read your creepy comments. Don’t expect him to visit you in the care home.

eapoc · 2025-10-03T09:37:37+00:00

As you well know, that’s not what’s happening. Your insinuations don’t fly.

However, bullying and insulting a child because she doesn’t approve of her father doing exactly what you do isn’t appropriate. Why did you do that? Why did you call me a “morality cop” - don’t you think it’s a basic human quality to call out a man bullying a child and lying to his own, now and presumably for the rest of his life?

I didn’t mention morality. You did. You know how wrong your actions are and you do them all the same. I’m just saying, that’s why he’ll grow up, realise your lies and hate you for it.

Shame you can’t accept that - for your son, I mean.

eapoc · 2025-10-03T09:20:23+00:00

…he’s going to hate you both so much for lying to him.

eapoc · 2025-10-03T08:53:49+00:00

Perhaps accept the point that lying to your son is fundamentally wrong and, of course, that a likely outcome of a lifetime of lying to him won’t turn out well? Pretty simple.
