Like OP said. A dystopian/horror movie... and I thought the Family Day was the worst thing alive, lol. The only thing left to me is staying positive and focusing on other things.
I've purposely avoided horror fiction in these days of pandemic because, you know, anxiety. However I feel the need to read horror is building up; for some reason, horror and sci-fi proved the best forms of escapism. I think it's because horror is very engrossing while sci-fi is about faraway galaxies so it does a great job taking you away from your sad current situation.
I'm still worried about the effects of reading horror on my psyche, especially because I'm pretty sure I'm repressing my feelings. I'm apparently ok but tonight I had my second quarantine dream and I woke up crying, which is something I don't remember ever happening before.

Well... I think I see myself in Gou a lot? I watched every episode at once (lol) and he grew a lot, from "we shouldn't help a bulbasaur" to helping Cubone to apologizing to an egg. I still couldn't understand the concept of "low empathy" but being able to understand he was wrong and changing, try to understand others couldn't bee seen as learning empathy?
Was looking around the tv tropes page for Journeys and it's kinda sad how biased against Gou it reads. The kid makes a mistake one that the anime clearly sees it as a mistake and something he has to work on but for some he is a monster that abuses his pokemon
I just skimmed it, and…wow.
It’s not as bad as I was expecting, but it definitely has shades of demonizing him for struggling with empathy.
Let me make this clear: HAVING LOW EMPATHY DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A BAD PERSON.
Empathy is not the same thing as compassion.
Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy.
Empathy is the ability to put yourselves in others’ shoes and understand the viewpoints/emotions.
God, can’t they just admit they hate neurodivergent people and go?
With this new name, our Mars 2020 rover has now come to life! Chosen by middle school student Alex Mather, Perseverance helps to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles we face, whether it’s on the way to reaching our goals or on the way to Mars, we will push through. In Alex’s own words,
“We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere. We, not as a nation but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future.”
Welcome to the family. ❤️
