THE MOST INSIDIOUS PART of living in a society with thoughtcrime, is that if someone who shares your "criminal" thoughts ever confesses their thoughts to you, you have no way of telling if they're genuine, or if they're only fishing for information, testing you, and then you've got a choice, do you accept them and assure them and keep it quiet (maybe even confide in them reciprocally), or do you blow up their spot, do you act like an anti in order to pass as normative, since there is no way you can ever really know if your conversation partner is duplicitous or not. Horrible life. Horrible world. It's like the star trek mirror universe. I often wondered as a child and still wonder, is this hell? Are we here to suffer, and part of our punishment is not knowing why?
@cum God, imagine being a fed so you could get payed to just do that all day long and become really popular/j
@LukeAlmighty @Loki They probably thought the characters had enough development culturally, cultural saturation might be a good term for it. Blue Beetle is new (new version at least), he's like spiderman, and he's Hispanic, and if you learned about him from Young Justice then he'll be familiar, he has potential to be a good character.
@violet_rose@freak.university Is it that they don't know how to, or are they afraid to? I know how to interact with kids, before I got my anxiety complex I was still a map so that's not why I have trouble interacting now, it's that any interaction is perceived by others as predatory, or at least that's the worry. I would love to go hang out with kids, help them, teach them, keep them safe, but I have this anxiety that has turned into full blown paranoia and panic attacks. I literally ignore kids now because I'm terrified, and I hate it. I don't want to live like this.
