It's the audacity that irritates me. These people are probably shut-in neets like everyone else here, but you don't see us going around yammering about the victimization of the Tokusatsu fandom, or how the death of traditional animation is a crime against humanity. Yes, people suffer; yes, these people probably have suffered, but instead of talking to their families or a therapist, they've chosen to isolate themselves on the internet with a bunch of strangers. The fantasies of victimization are so extensive, they negatively affect their behavior. And that's what has brought us to where we are.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, likes to solve their own problems. It's messy, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred never completely resolves the issue. It's much easier to "help" other people, so as to feel some form of relief. In some black part of their soul, these people do sympathize with, and want to help, others. But virtue signaling has become a sport of peacocks, posturing and vain.
I've been desperate and dejected enough to know the reality they live in. It's a mix of poor coping methods and self-gratification. You wish you were in the shoes of the people you're "supporting", making you feel worse about your own problems. So you flaunt your sympathy even more, relishing in the afterglow of your own dignity, like a junkie who just found a clean vein to shoot up. The feeling fades, the reality of your own shit existence settles in, and you're left with emptiness, the only satisfaction being found in the fact that you aren't the only person in the world who could feel so hollow inside.
