I knew someone from an FLDS family.
(For those who don’t know, FLDS is a fundamentalist branch of the Mormons that are basically an insanely oppressive and abusive cult. They still do polygamy!)
She’s extremely mentally ill, but this is about her now deceased brother:
When he was about 2, he fell, head first, onto a rusty nail. Mom decided the medical solution to this was neosporin and a bandaid.
It went about a bit less than an inch into his brain.
He grew up extremely unable to regulate emotions, did violent dangerous things all the time, unfortunately killed himself a year back.
Point of me saying this is: Shit like this absolutely happens.
I feel like a whole lot of people who end up on 4chan are quite likely to be seriously neglected and abused.
I can very easily see a person with serious damage like this not being taken seriously and even assaulted by their parents for mentioning it.
They likely can’t get to a hospital on their own, and would be screamed at more if parents found out they went. So, post on 4chan.

I started to feel bad for the person with a concussion and gangrenous untreated wound, but then they pivoted to whether they could now acceptably creep on dead girls, and I just see a problem that’s about to solve itself.

Eh, if we had good data on what they were like before the incident, maybe.
This is all with the firm understanding that this $100% happened.

Oh yes, we’re all operating in full knowledge that greentexts are 💯 percent truth.
But yeah, if this very real person did have a concussion they might also be having personality shift because of it. A good thing to keep in mind if you are dealing with a person who’s had a big head smash.

“Yeah, I’m worried about my friend’s personality shift. He doesn’t want to breathe and have a round head like he used to love doing.”

To be fair, they may be brain damaged.
People say all kinds of crazy shit after a good head wound. My partner fell off a staircase a few months ago and asked me why I was letting the government put roaches under the bathroom sink.

So, did you have a good reason for letting them do that?

Hey, birds fly, fish swim, and I spread my cheeks for the state.

Wow, crazy to think what a concussion can do to a person. Imagine forgetting the Act to Ensure the Continued Existence of Under Counter Roaches of 2019.

Tbf, they’re saying “dead ghost girls”. Wanting to romance a corpse is considerably less creepy than wanting to bang a corpse. At least the ghost must consent.
