    It’s a false dichotomy to say the existence of negative emotions will make people completely shut down.

    My experiences in 2017 say otherwise. Do not assume this ever again, I nearly committed suicide because negative emotions were all I received from my community in my old hometown, from the internet, and in every work of fiction I consumed to escape from reality for a whole damn year. I can name 33+ different stories that killed off a child character, most of which were made in the 2010s and all of which did so purely for shock value. I can go on and on about Grand Forks, British Columbia and how it is the worst place in the province to grow up in. I can rant for hours about TT-Forums.net, Voxel Tycoon, every Discord writing server and Reddit perma-banned me for BEING DRUGGED OUT OF SANITY BY MY PSYCHIATRIST.

    Dr. Richard McGee of Castlegar, BC ruined my life, and Kelly Shoemann of Grand Forks, British Columbia tried to fucking sue me because she wanted to live off of employment insurance for the rest of her life off of my misery. The aftermath left me so distraught and then vengeful that over the course of the 7 years since then I have lost EVERYTHING I had before 2017.

    I’m watching every word you say. If you mention one more time that having nothing but negative experiences can’t make people completely shut down, I will kill myself. I hate you and your death will be on my hands.

      Fucking chill out, wow. You definitely got overreacting down pat.

      The only one responsible for your actions is yourself.

      🙄

      If you mention one more time that having nothing but negative experiences can’t make people completely shut down

      That’s not remotely what I said.

      […] I will kill myself.

      That’s manipulation of the most ridiculous degree.

      I hate you

      Kinda contradicts your whole thing

      […] and your death will be on my hands.

      I think you meant to say that the other way around. Asserting this won’t make it true, either way. Learn to take responsibility for yourself.
