>>48017693I had a full on mental breakdown trying to talk one of my friends out of her bizarre friendship with her LGBT friends, who basically bullied her and dragged her into playing FFXIV when she didn't really enjoy it. She'd always come complaining to me about the way they were treating, then eventually she'd use me as a punching bag and gaslight me and try to insinuate I was white privileged or something (kinda funny, because I'm not white at all, I'm a brown med, I'm as white as Bill Cosby). Strange, being working class, treated this way by a champagne socialist. That was years ago, she must be 30 something, now.
I guess, my point is, if you intervene, you often hurt yourself a lot more than if you do what your gut tells you to do and cut them off. People always say, look after yourself first, and although that's a little bit selfish, these are the circumstances where that advice applies the most.
My favourite pokemon is Oddish. I don't think they ever do anything nasty in Pokemon, they just run around. I like Pidgy, too.
