it describes a general hatred, disgust or distrust of humanity as a whole. misanthropes don't hate you personally, that's common sense.

most misanthropes are calm and nice beings.

a lot of misanthropes have mental health issues, and the more you shit on them saying they're dumb, arrogant, that just looking at hopecore posts will make them stop being misanthrope (it won't), or just generally aggressive towards them, you just reinforce their beliefs, you make them feel unsafe, misunderstood.

who are you, to say that you are superior to someone else because you are not a misanthrope? who are you to claim to be inclusive or nice or a safe place when you actively make people unsafe around you?

you play it while walking around with friends and if you see something and don't know what it is or wonder why its there, you stop and point and say Hey What Is That Thing. and everyone speculates about it. googling it is allowed but preferably after spending several minutes guessing or asking a passerby about it

weird structures, ambiguous signs, unfamiliar car modifications, anything that you can't immediately understand its function. eight times out of ten, someone in the group actually knows, and now you know!

a few examples from me and my friends the past few weeks: "why is there a piece of plywood sticking out of that pond in a way that looks intentional?" (its a ramp so squirrels that fall in to the pond can climb out) • "my boss keeps insisting i take a vacation of nine days or more, thats so specific" (you work at a bank, banks make employees take vacation in long chunks so if youre stealing or committing fraud, itll be more obvious) • "why does this brick wall have random wooden blocks in it" (theres actually several reasons why this could be but we asked and it was so you could nail stuff to the wall) • "most of these old factories we drive past have tinted windows, was that just for style?" (fun fact the factory owners realized that blue light keeps people awake, much like screen light does now, so they tinted the windows blue to keep workers alert and make them work longer hours)
