>>11209278The message in all this shit is, you, the reader, are small and weak, and even if you realise we, the publisher, are fucking with you, you can't do anything about it. Everything is fucked. Save yourself. And most do. It's appealing to call someone toxic, to build a minefield that you just wait for someone to blunder into and then point and say "Problematic. Do not want". And maybe they'll even get somewhere. If all we want is to be comfy, why do you need someone else's problems? You have your own, and there's a pill for that, or some organised and monetised feel-good outlet. It goes from "sorry dude, I can't help you" to "fuck them and their toxic behaviour" very quickly. The state gives you what you need. As long as we treat people as variables and opponents and potential sources of threat, it will only get worse. So when you ghost, and they ghost, you're doing everything "right". You've been taught this. You've been sold this. You want this. But do you?
