sorry to hear about that; what are some avenues forward to meet people for support?

probably just means he's hateful and difficult to change, not an assessment of his social anxiety.

you can game and talk at the same time?!

i would roleplay my character and recite their backstory, maybe, but that's about it.

nah, it's accessibility to expression for the masses, and does no more harm to the environment than a streaming service or internet provider or popular mmo server. what you hate is capitalism, not the new tool showing digital artists what's it like to be jobless in capitalism, w/ the rest of us.

pfft, don't blame adults for what they did in their teens, that's not helpful. him being a racist is damnation enough without perpetuating the angst of children who make mistakes and struggle with rage.

that's a shame, too, because actual independent researchers in things like wetlands conservation or geology are super valuable and not to be relabeled as a slur. the term independent there just means unfunded or unpublished, they still contribute actual data with actual scientific rigor.

qwell supreese.

yeah, that matters on an individual scale, not so much when it's nazis as a group. like i would rather a relative not be divided from me about how bad are nazis, so that's where i'll work to keep nazi numbers down.

what's forcing emotional intimacy look like? how does it differ from seeking the counsel of a friend?

yeah, like NORMAL people who do this are just deflecting an uncomfortable topic, made uncomfortable by the abnormal rapists in their lives. the norms can't stand the idea of having a rapist in their lives, so they deny and displace blame. sheer emotional immaturity, and it's socialised from birth.
