no really strong mentions of trauma or anything, mostly just the effects of it
idk, reinforcements arrived right about the time he got done with this comic.
it is kinda scary. i dont think its uncommon at all, but discovering this kind of thing is a real mindfuck. we've been able to deny it for years and use plausible deniability to say it's probably not happening. all the way until some of us were just left as empty shells.
there's definitely more than one of us who have been doing this stuff. this isn't even the first one we have discovered. and it's so easy with the "faker" culture that just so happens to be extremely prevalent with systems. it's so easy for anyone in denial to just go on the internet and find people like them being bashed for trying to discover themselves that even when you come to the realization, you're still trying to minimize it. to make it palatable to others, to somehow fit in as one of the good ones so that you can be spared from that kind of treatment.
but those people dont care. the words "system" and "faker" might as well be synonymous. and don't even get me started on all the syscourse bullshit. you'd be sitting here reading this all day.
