This is one of the most disgusting threads I've seen in a long time. Blatant mental illness surging out into the net under the thin and easily penetrable veneer of "ironic" shitposting, and some pseud that literally cannot help himself from responding. To the anon that's been talking about cultural influence, and Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, I have a certain degree of respect for you because of the level-headed logic with which you approach your posts.

It's such a bald expression of fear and what makes it so revolting is that it is often completely unnecessary. If more people would stop tethering their identities to fictional media, the world would be a much better place. Or at the very least, this thread wouldn't exist, which is basically the same thing.
