      The most valid "anti-grimdark" argument -- that grimdark is *reassuring*, that it tells you things are inevitably awful and there's nothing you could've done to stop it, and that's morally offensive because it lets you off the hook -- is the one that offends me the most

      That's literally my escapism, that's what I want to hear It's as valid a form of escapism and catharsis as the coffeeshop AUs where evil never existed and the whole world is effortlessly decent you all feel like you're entitled to

      Maybe it is morally offensive, and maybe as a result I'm a useless piece of shit Maybe being into melancholy depressive shit has sapped my power and if I weren't into it I would have had the strength to stop Trump and save us all Maybe you're right But you know what, fuck you

      "No matter how hard you try, everything goes to shit anyway, so you might as well give up" IS how I see the world It IS my "lived experience"

      And all the time I get smacked in the face with people saying "No, the shit you went through is your fault for not trying hard enough" and acting like they're helping me

      There's a character on Babylon 5 who says he finds the randomness of misfortune to be comforting. He'd be horrified if people actually deserved all the terrible things that happen to them.

      There were millions, billions of people in history who lived utterly awful lives and died horribly with little or no joy or grace or whatever to counterbalance it It is deeply insulting to their memory to say that there was "hope" for them, it is a way of blaming them

      To say that if only someone had reached down and found their core of inner strength they could've started a revolution and ended slavery right then and there So the fact that no one actually did in real life must just mean they sucked

      This is the kind of thought I was having when the prosperity gospel got repackaged into 'The Secret.' It was ~2005 or so, 9/11 was still fresh in folks' mind, and I just asked, "Wait, so... the folks in the towers just -manifested- planes that day?'

      Yeah think about how privileged, BY DEFINITION, you have to be to be receptive to a message that what's wrong with your life is you're too easily contented with what you have and you aren't trying hard enough to get the things you really want

          Oprah sold this to people because, hell, it probably is true for Oprah, once you have a billion dollars if there's anything you personally don't have that you want it's probably because you don't really want it that much

          But she was selling this to desperate people as though it were some kind of deep truth
