    I think most MonHun fans will agree that Wilds has the best gameplay experience to date. It’s such a damn shame that’s overshadowed by just how genuinely awful the performance is. I want to keep playing it so badly but I just can’t be bothered to do a full computer restart and force close as many programs as possible just to run the game at a mediocre 45-60 fps where everything looks like a slurry of artifacting on a 2070 super and an i7. Ugh…








  • If that was true, that trend wouldn’t exist in the first place. At least one person had to legitimately hate or at least exaggerate disliking the word for that idea to spread, so it stands to reason that more than one person organically disliked the word independently. That’s not even considering outliers like folks with synesthesia who may perceive the way the word sounds much differently than most do.








  • So, I don’t think it’s entirely voluntary either way, it’s just a matter of where your perspective defaults to. I consider myself a fairly empathetic person and I happen to sit on the opposite side of this. As much as I try, I cannot feel empathy for him.

    When I try, the empathy I feel is for everyone he advocated to subjugate and kill. I cannot fathom being in the shoes of someone so pointlessly, shamelessly hateful. When I put myself in his shoes, there is no connection that makes it in any way feel like a real person’s understandable perspective. If he had changed at some point? That would be understandable. Imagining that makes me feel empathy for the person he could have been, but that person doesn’t exist, never existed and may never have. I feel more empathy for that hypothetical person than I do the actual Charlie Kirk, someone who himself felt that feeling empathy was a sickness and wanted to eradicate me from society.

    I struggle to find anything to empathize with there.

    With that said, I watched the video. It made me feel sick to my stomach. But that didn’t change the immense relief I felt knowing there was one less person in the world that thought I should be stoned in the street. I don’t think you’re wrong for feeling unsettled by someone taking glee in it though. It’s hard to imagine the kind of pain someone has to go through to get to the point where someone’s death is something to celebrate as a relief.




  • What someone says does not exist in a vacuum. His rhetoric encouraged gun violence and vilified empathy. He played a not insignificant part in violently radicalizing fascists, ones that have already been killing or showing actionable intent to kill. He wanted me and others like me to be eradicated from society EXPLICITLY and by running his mouth convinced his base that this was for the best by painting us as child groomers and pedophiles, thereby stirring even more violence in the shocking number of people that listened to him.

    He wanted me and those like me to not exist. I’m glad he stopped existing before he could make that a reality. If it’s monstrous to be relieved about one less person advocating for my eradication, then I suppose I’m as monstrous as they come.
