Art under capitalism is so fucking sad.
I'm so glad that younger people aren't falling for the hype. To my knowledge, at least.
Eventually you won't be able to sell your house.
This reminds me of that story here a while back about the autistic man who didn't react appropriately to someone's death and being convicted of murder.
It's fucking bleak out here that we have to make Oscar- winning emotional performances to convince people we have feelings.
I think masking as a concept gets mistaken as just concealing ND traits, when there is this element of forced emoting involved as well. You're actively masking when you force a smile to convince a person that you're actually happy. God forbid you can't cry on command to align with the pain you're feeling.
If someone tells you they're feeling a certain way, just believe them. You have nothing to lose.
I'll donate as soon as I get the checks I was promised.
Jk not even then
I'm gonna disagree on Sephiroth being a product of the planet. He's a product of the arrogance of man.
He was conceived when Shinra and Hojo discovered Jenova and put her cells in a human fetus to make a god.
By all measures, he has the powers of a god, but he's ultimately an ego project put forward by an electric company who wanted to drain the essence of heaven for personal profit.
Defeating Sephiroth is telling him he's not prefect or a god and that he too will return to the planet when he dies.
He's a supersoldier made by a capitalist empire and he believes he's better than humanity because he was born powerful. He's like the worst kind of nepo baby who thinks the world should not go on without him.
When he finds out about his heritage, and that he wasn't naturally just born better, he snaps and doubles down on his insistence that he's a god. He goes on a killing spree.
His whole plan is to become undeniably powerful so he doesn't have to think of the material conditions that created him.
Edit - with Jenova being from space, I don't see Sephiroth as being as much a product of earth's wrath. His attempt to destroy Gaia to gain power feels like the ultimate goal of Shinra. He's a a product of Shinra.
Also, I think it would be interesting to see an evil Cetra, but I don't want that to happen in the already complicated VII universe.
How do you become so detached from humanity that you go into reddit tier clapbacks when met with a genocide survivor?
Hating women with agency if they don't choose men. It's consistent between 1996 chuds and 2024 chuds.
Were you there for the guy who expressed his hatred for pumpkin spice drinks through Hanna Barbera usernames?
They were asked not to.
You know if he couldn't fuck off into hell with the rest of the ghouls, I'm glad he's having his many failures, big and small, recorded in humiliating detail. He's going down in history as one of the most reviled people to lead the US and that's saying something.
