Because he lost his joy at some point in his life and Disney adults remind him of what he lost, which angers him
- Comment on what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you? 10 months ago:
Ignore that hopeless shill. People peddle that shit because they’re zealots who don’t care about anyone other than themselves.
- Comment on what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you? 10 months ago:
Allowing yourself to feel your emotions without care.
There’s nothing wrong with being angry at people who hurt you. You’re kind of supposed to be; that’s what anger is for.
It’s not unhealthy or imprudent or a negative in any wat regardless of what anyone else told you, or society. There’s literally nothing wrong with it and people who tell you there is are being deeply unethical and usually have a political agenda. Ignore them.
Be angry, be sad, be fearful, cry, and be free.
- Comment on Anon is in hell 10 months ago:
It literally doesn’t even matter; he’s looking for sympathy and support which he has the right to seek out regardless of who is responsible.
So you can choose to quibble over who should bear the blame for his problems or you can console him like you’re supposed to be doing.
- Comment on Anon is in hell 10 months ago:
Not having a license isn’t actually an issue; you can save a lot of money by not driving a car.
This guy is probably just depressed and the lack of sympathy and support from others is only exacerbating and perpetuating the problem. People like him need love and support from external sources to be able to heal their inner wounds and fix their problems.
Life stuff like what he’s listing is never the actual source of the problem.

- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 11 months ago:
You don’t have to determine it. They make it painfully, painfully obvious.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 11 months ago:
They’re stupid if they don’t know those things and refuse to learn them.
People are allowed to call others stupid and be right about it.
People aren’t committing some great sin by doing so.
The idea we are is the idea the willfully ignorant use to manipulate everyone else into accepting their selfish indolence and it needs to stop.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 11 months ago:
Everyone says that to try to make themselves appear humble, but most of the ones who genuinely say stuff like 90% of the population is stupid tend to be unequivocally not part of the problem.

- Comment on Why would someone openly say that they oppose human rights? 11 months ago:
If only you meant that in an amicable way.
- Comment on Why would someone openly say that they oppose human rights? 11 months ago:
I don’t actively oppose human rights; I just don’t think they work as an idea or a social institution. They don’t protect people from harm in any real meaningful capacity; only love and connection does, and I support stuff that actually does demonstrably protect people.
It really is better to just be one of the populars so no one wants to hurt you. And to have connections so everyone else is dependent on you in some capacity, so people actively suffer if they do try to hurt you.
Human rights cannot and never have accomplished either of those for anyone. We’re not a more peaceful world because of human rights; the same tragedies they were supposed to prevent prevailed and now fascism is taking over the world, and in the next decade we’re going to have the biggest genocides the world has ever seen.
And those same human rights are invoked to tie victims’ hands behind their backs whenever they try to fight back. They’re accused of violating their perpetrator’s human rights and of being equivalent to their oppressor by trying to avenge themselves or get rid of them or even just hold them accountable.
Human rights are a meaningless, unhelpful joke.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
When your dumbass looked at me telling you you can’t just do whatever you want, and you responded, “Actually yes, I can”. Like a fucking child.
When you devolve into insults instead of responding with anything substantive because you know I am right and you are wrong.
And when deep down inside you felt the pit in your heart grow like a fucking maw when confronted with the fact that reality exists independently of your whim and whimsy.
Now you don’t get a say in what is canon and what is not. Only original creators can do that. Other people’s works are derivatives at best. That’s the reality you have to learn to accept because reality won’t change simply because you don’t like it.
Now when you grow up and actually become an adult, we can continue this conversation. I am not gonna waste any more time arguing with a child.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
No, you don’t.
You can certainly write fanfiction and create fanart all you want to. People have done it for thousands of years. But it’ll never be the original story no matter how much you want it to be.
You are not the original creator of the franchise. Grow up and get over it.
Getting mad at me for telling you the truth won’t change that fact, and it won’t make Jaffe any less correct in his complaint that the writers deliberately destroyed his creation and his original intent. Because they did, and they admitted they did it because they didn’t want a pro revenge story in media.
Go look up the interviews with the recent GoW writers. Go actually do some research instead of throwing a temper tantrum here because I won’t let you do what you want.
Objective reality is a thing whether you want it to be or not.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
They don’t, because they’re not the original writers and stories are art, not corporate marketing products.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
I’m confused, is everyone upset the new games have more depth or are they upset the new games oppose revenge?
Anti-revenge stories are blatantly shallow, preachy propaganda pieces that seek to fulfill a political agenda.
Pro-revenge stories absolutely can and often do have depth and well-written characters.
So let’s stop conflating the two.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
Ehh, h’s not wrong. If this David Jaffe guy is a pro-revenge type, of course he has the right to be unhappy: the writers for the new games blatantly said in interviews they completely changed the story around to oppose revenge, completely against the wishes of this Jaffe fellow apparently. Which is ironically a vengeful act.
People don’t have the right to just change stories to suit their personal opinions and the new writers need to learn to respect that.
Lest the writers after that change it back to a pro-revenge story with depth and good writing just to spite them.

How? It’s a snail. It can’t actually do anything because its body is not suited for doing anything.
🤔 Perhaps it knows this, and the only way it can die and be free of its flesh prison is by touching you. In which case, that’s sad.
- Comment on keep going lads! 11 months ago:
I don’t know; in a scenario like that, it might just be better to keep it in a tank made of bulletproof glass so you can keep it as a pet. It’s still just a goddamn snail. It can’t actually do anything to break anything.
Maybe yeet that bitch out into deep space if it’s that much of an issue. You might not be able to track the snail, but you could track the ship it’s in, so you’d always know where to find it.
That way when you do want to die, you can just go retrieve it.

Ancient alien theory is extremely racist and I am shocked people don’t reject it on those grounds alone.
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
A fair point. The episode just doesn’t demonstrate it well at all.

And then we will pirate it and once again experience joy
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
I get that what he’s trying to do, it’s just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he’s imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.
Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won’t because people for the most part aren’t capable of change. Most people don’t have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they’re happy the way they are regardless of their true nature’s consequences to other people.
It’s just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That’s all.
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
That’s their problem, especially with a show like Black Mirror for which the whole point is to make people think
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
The ruling class literally has been doing that for centuries…
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
So in that killer’s mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
