I refuse to believe "Fulfillment center" exists outside of a lazy, heavy-handed distopic YA novel. What in the fucking corporate-speak hell is that shit, fuck, ill kill you all, death to amerikkka (hexbear.net)

Fulfillment center is an ironic name for a place where people have all hope and desire beaten out of them by hard labor and poor conditions.

YES, LITERALLY. WE LIVE IN A MEDIOCRE YA NOVEL AND I'M NOT EVEN A SECONDARY CHARACTER

You're not even a character. You're a throwaway description of actions in the background written to develop atmosphere and worldbuilding. They call rename it the despair center, and even then it wouldn't capture the horrors of life there.

Y'all just gave me a great idea for a YA novel.

This time, the villains are people who are so thoroughly convinced they're the main characters and that's why they treat everyone like garbage because they see their life as a video game. Like Scott Pilgrim but never getting called out for the bad shit he does, and as such never really has to stop being a manchild.
