    A number of people have brought this up, so I think I should mention this: when making this video, I was aware that Jen is still an active soulbonder who has moved on to the Hannibal fandom, but I decided to cut off the video before that point for two reasons. First, my intention was not to talk about Jen, but rather the Final Fantasy House. Second, the video was already pushing 40 minutes, and to cover Jen's further activities would have easily sent it past the 1 hour mark. This would have made the production cycle prohibitively long and the video much less accessible, neither of which I was willing to allow. This does not, however rule out a video about Jen or Tattle-Crime in the future.

      @@decem_sagittae you have a good point, and I do want to earn that degree. I've been in college three times. Quit on the first attempt because I chose something I wasn't interested in after being medically discharged from the marine corps for night blindness. Dad died during the next attempt so I had a meltdown and quit. Third attempt I tried to take seriously, but I quit again after making a D in a class that I needed a C in to get the credit toward the degree. The first and third time I was balancing jobs and I was a teenager or in my early twenties during this time. These are lame excuses, I know, but school was never my favorite thing to endure anyway.

So her wearing a lab coat and being a FF7 fan was 'meh'.
      EDIT: found it. @altec surtan said
      "I use to work at the north Atherton-walmart back then. Renee use to come in at night to go shopping and yes she would dress as Hojo. I can not recall anybody with her. She did not stink and was very talkative and normal beside her dress code. Granted we had short chats about video games especially about Final Fantasy seven and the theory it was based on Earth. State College back then was still grungy and had character, play-land was still active filled with stoned kids and cigarette smoke, nirvana's closet was on it last leg. Coffee shops and Asian restaurants. There was all kinds of weirdos back then, so she never stood out compared to the other the goths, punks, proto weebs and skaters. This really fucks with my head, never would of guessed what a hot mess she and her friends were behind closed doors.

      Wouldn't laughing at them be a kind of a solution to the problem? Kids do not want to be ridiculed, and it's probably the easiest way to get them to realize the people they are interacting with them are not good influence. On top of that it's actually kind of funny how ridiculous some of those communities get, and people tend to share funny things, making the victim more likely to see the message.

      As someone who was abused at a very impressionable age under the guise of otherkin community? 100% agree. Though I feel like there isn’t anything /Inherently/ wrong with the concept of otherkin and connecting with fictional characters in that way there’s So much toxicity and manipulation from the online culture the community creates. The worst part is the fact that abusers can Much easier groom victims by telling a victim that they were important to eachother in their past life to convince them that there’s no need to establish boundaries or build trust before jumping into a serious relationship/friendship. Plus from my experience most people who id with otherkin are lgbt minors (like I was) so altogether a Very impressionable group of people who often seek out support from these online communities they might not be getting irl without realizing they could end up being taken advantage of

    The selling blood thing probably sounds like a pretty crazy detail, but in state college blood/plasma donation is advertised everywhere and offers around $400-500/month.

    @MrLordFireDragon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +388

    People talk pretty unhealthily about neurodivergence a lot, and others rightfully pick them up on victimising people because they happen to think or behave differently. I think there's a lot of discussion to be had about where 'mental illness' and pity end and 'abuse' starts.
    I think the line is just that: at the point where you 'being yourself' is abuse to others - destroying their property, controlling their lives, refusing to contribute or aid those around you - is the point where you can no longer claim you're just neurodivergent and should be treated with respect. There are people who are heavily autistic or have other 'disorders' who are perfectly capable of understanding and interacting with society, but society doesn't accept them because they act weird, or don't express themselves the way others do. Especially when things like therapy and medication clearly help you coexist with others without abuse, you can't claim to just 'think differently' and get a pass for abusive behaviour.
    I suppose it's important for people to know this so they don't get sucked into codependent (or worse) relationships with people who try to co-opt messages of tolerance to get away with abuse. If someone in your life is hurting you like this, get out and get help.

      exactly! throughout the video i was thinking that these people (especially jen) seem like theyre possibly nd and mentally ill if they have these intense delusions, but consistently refusing help or fighting people who tell you that something’s wrong just shows that it’s turned into straight up abuse. i know several really nice & genuine people who have delusional attachments to characters, so its definitely not just the neurodivergence - the ppl in the vid were malicious as well. i really do hope that they eventually got some sort of help and stopped abusing/scamming people.

    This reminds me of someone I used to be friends with a long time ago. She believed Sephiroth was a real man, and she told us that she will wait for him for her entire life, and even planned out her marriage and wedding to him for when he did come. She was also quite toxic about other fans and hated anyone who paired him with their own OC's. She saw it as cheating. I haven't spoken to her in years, but I honestly hope she got over this.

      @@jonathansotelo4877 there are some people out there that are crazy but a lot of times mental health professionals have no interest in helping them. Most of the time they just throw medication around regardless of wether it will even help. Second it is expensive, everywhere. Even in nations where it is “free” it costs like 40% of income in taxes (and many times you still need insurance). Third, wish you the best with that, hope it works out 😢.
