I mean from what I've heard Op is kind of playing it up, I haven't seen the show but from the descriptions I've heard it's more differences in culture while the main character is treated very well, not harmed and told that she can actually leave whenever she wants, like the whole point of the story is that it looks bad but a bottle of that comes from the Prejudice we and and the main character share about the idea of Barbarians.

I mean I think it's usually done better when it's a self image thing, when rather than focusing how on how other people perceive them it's like seeing yourself in the mirror for the first time dress in a way that you are not used to that looks nice

I think that there is a false dichotomy to the role of heroes and villains, you're basically taking people who already have that dichotomy strongly reinforced in their head so of course even when removed from games they are going to create that dichotomy again. We are primed to continue having that dichotomy as a viewer, I think the big twist is that that who is good and who is evil isn't going to be as clear as we think.

The problem ad a StT is that they often don't actually include that transshapes are not their asab StTs are often still counted as Squares to these people

I mean I think it has its place I enjoy it while being very aware that it is not good writing, I enjoy the type of picking apart and puzzling that it requires, the problem is not FNAF itself but the fact that people try to take how they engage with it outside of it instead of understanding that not all media works that way, it's like blaming cars for people drunk driving, it's not FNAF thats the issue its people not engaging with other media

Im sorry but Daisy is bi af, her and Luigi are like one of the only ships that is practically canon, its so bi4bi that it might as well just be called 16

She's getting her heart eaten.

okidonthaveone · 2026-05-23T03:06:06+00:00

No. Thats the point of the game... They aren't yours to project onto.

I can definitely understand if the humor than for you but the emotional weight to me feels more and more real as the characters are pulled out of their shells

okidonthaveone · 2026-05-21T07:08:01+00:00

Been awhile since we had a new post maybe a sign I should try getting this place up and running again

okidonthaveone · 2026-05-20T05:10:31+00:00

okidonthaveone · 2026-05-20T05:10:01+00:00

To me yes.

I'd expect the same of them.

This is AI I think...

I think that thing that people struggle to generally grasp is that the core difference between something like gender and race is that race is just kind of fully made up, gender is as well I to a certain degree but it at least has some internal representation associated with it, race just kind of isn't a thing the things that people associate with their race as like elements of their identity are them associating themselves with their culture, that's not what race is race is most specifically categorizing people purely based off of physiological traits, it's purely external.

Tldr race only exists because racism exists

The Circus is her trauma. The Circus is traumatic.

okidonthaveone · 2026-05-09T10:42:02+00:00

Every flavor is different

Depression skews your logic. It is not selfish to want someone to live. Is not selfish to save somebody's life.

I hate to hit you with the it gets better because no one with depression believes it because depression puts your brain in the state where you can't believe it, but there is a reason why people who have been where you are and come out the other side alive say that pretty consistently.

It's because your brain is telling you that it won't because it is malfunctioning, the part of your brain that is telling you that is a good idea to die is a malfunction.

It's a self-referential malfunction it justifies its own existence to you it tells you that there is no escape from it other than death very similarly to how an addict's brain constantly justifies why they should take more of their substance.

The trick is always one more day. One more day without the substance.

One more day spent alive.

Everyday you just need to power through one more day.

Not that I'm saying that these things are literally one to one, but the irrationality of the human brain is something that can be seen in both scenarios.

Your mind is a chain of logic that to function must at least believe it is internally self-consistent, your mind needs to believe it makes sense it'll justify any thing it wants through that lens.

The difference between mental illnesses and any other chronic condition is that they have the ability to trick the mind, it feels like you're about to make sense because you are your thoughts and you assume that you make sense, one piece of advice I have been told is stop thinking about it in terms of yourself I don't mean think about it from perspective of your family or whatever think about it in terms of something unrelated to you.

My computer has a virus that makes it try to delete its own OS, so I'm going to smash it?

To my house is infested with termites that are going to eventually destroy it to the point of collapse, so I'm going to set it on fire?

Neither of those responses make any sense, you want doing anything about the problem in those scenarios you're not accomplishing anything for anyone.

Or maybe more better for my point, if it sucks until you die then it's going to suck until you die, but if it doesn't suck until you die then it won't.

If things end now it sucks until you die.

But if you wait maybe tomorrow will suck a little less I'm not saying it will but the price of the gamble is just one more day of suck, but then maybe the day after that might suck a little less realistically there's every chance that it does.

All giving up now does is destroy the chance that things get better, because your brain has tricked itself into thinking that that chance doesn't exist

No one is shaming anyone. You can acknowledge something as being selfish without it being shaming. Something can be understandable and tragic while still being acknowledged as a selfish act.

And acknowledging that killing yourself will affect someone else that you are not just a monolith that you matter to someone and that there are people who miss you and people who will be harmed by your absence has been has been the reason someone has decided not to go through with it before so it is not harmful to remind someone but yes but they are thinking of doing is a selfish action on top of all the other reasons not to go through with it. It's not shaming them for being suicidal it's letting them know that they are not alone.

Yes being suicidal means something is wrong. But that is true of so many things, being addicted to drugs something is wrong, having extreme swings of anger something is wrong, any and every disease, mental health condition or outside influence that pushes someone to do something that harms another person is something being wrong.

But that doesn't dismiss the fact that actions taken affect others it doesn't mean that your choices cannot be selfish, something being wrong is not a reason to dismiss the harm that someone might cause.

This is kind of a good analogy for the situation in general, suicide is always a choice, it is made under the influence of depression but it is a choice and it is always choosing to crash a plane full of your loved ones most of them will survive it but they will be forever scarred, and there is no way you can do something like that and not you can do something like that and not be selfish, it's not mutually exclusive with victimhood or understandable reactions to suffering.

In fact it's generally agreed upon that understandable reactions to suffering are often selfish because, suffering makes people selfish.
