iron lung, eh?

During the finale when Ranboo was tied up to his crucifix, Hetch told him that when the mask had been off during the events leading up to that point, Ranboo had been fully in control of himself. Ranboo protested, saying it had been Showfall making the fatal decisions, that he was being controlled by them and had no choice. It was true that Ranboo, even while in control when the mask was off, didn’t realize exactly what was happening. It’s not like those moments of lucidity were ever long enough for them to figure out how to change anything. But they were still moments of lucidity. Tiny scraps of free will that Ranboo was given. And the choices made in those moments didn’t save anyone, but who knows? Maybe they could have, if Ranboo had played his cards differently. Ranboo argued that he didn’t have a choice, that there was nothing else that could have been done; he was horrified by the blood on his hands but denied that he could have changed the outcomes.

The day after the finale, CC!Ranboo told us on stream that there had indeed been an ending planned for if the majority had voted live, and they told us what it was, debunking the theories that the ending was always going to be death no matter what. They confirmed that the votes hadn’t been rigged, that the outcome was 100% true to viewer votes. After all, their goal, the very experiment that gave this Generation its name, was to see if we as a collective would actually vote to kill somebody. And just as they’d been hoping, we did. If you really want to see whether the majority would vote for death, you wouldn’t rig the vote because you’d never get your answer. That final vote was a test of our human psychology; we were the subjects of the social experiment. And yet there were still posts being made weeks later about how the ending was predetermined, about how our votes never really mattered, about how no matter what we did that box would have closed on his head.

Are you alright?

There have been 2 mass shootings in America over the last few days and every time I see one of these in the news I feel sick to my stomach. Such awful, unnecessary and avoidable tragedies. People’s lives ended forever because of some sick minded people who should never have that much power in the first place to do that much damage so easily.

Something has to be done. Leadership need to take charge and stop spouting the same bullshit over and over again, while not actually implementing change. Laws need to be rewritten or changed or new laws brought in to make this type of event harder to enact. Media need to stop circle jerking these events for clicks and views and exploiting tragedy for gain. I dunno man just SOMETHING. It’s horrifying to think these types of things still happen in 2019.
