No, that is not what I’m saying. To either thing. The point is the abuse is a product of misdirection, making it a fundamentally broken coping behavior. Neurodivergent people are more likely to exhibit traits that an abuser can exploit, but that doesn’t mean they are any less capable than most neurotypical people in the same situation. It just means there’s no specific mechanism for stopping an irrational behavior being directed at one group of susceptible people. If abuse is irrational, than the only solution is to stop the behavior itself, and that’s an application that’s universal to all humans.

I ain’t telling Ghosty he’s funny when he’s got a bazooka in his duffel. You know what Ghosty? You and me can go on a rampage any time. Let’s blow shit up, man.

I’m sure. I only know of one hibachi place and it’s closed on Monday, but it’s not the same for an other Japanese restaurants. All the Pho places near me are open on Mondays.

Wut?

This is kind of a trick question, only because the term “decent” has no universal definition. Arguably, neurodivergent people who are not treated with a basic standard of behavior are disabused for reasons unrelated to their divergence, meaning it’s less about the abused changing their behavior and more about the abusers reflecting larger social failures that need to be addressed. Provisionally the answer to your poll is no.

My man, Ghosty "

Why would you do that to ghosty?

Is there a reason they are?

Happy Birthday, UEMber who hasn't been on in like 6 years.

It’s good to that inner villain out. Don’t go overboard. Don’t want a Falling Down kind of thing going on.

It’s kind of funny actually… in a purely villainous way.

You have to. I got rid of the jewel boxes so there’s nowhere else for me to store my Chris Isaak collection.

What a surprise. Netanyahu is finally approaching the point where he can't bullshit his way out of consequences, and it's just a matter of how ugly his downfall becomes at this point. It's just a shame that so many people had to be ruthlessly slaughtered for it to happen.

Also sending the good vibes.

No one has made Milton's Satan more seductive than Donald Sutherland. RIP

Were you here for Florida Man?

Sore loser.

Hey, I'm due a rampage here.

What "whites?"

Hold on I'm doing a thing... I knew it! You've corrupted Ghosty with your AI fantasies.

Wait, are you using AI, Ghosty?

It's kind of different when you're the one with the blister and popping it is preferable to having the blister there. But, popping a blister is always a bad idea no matter how tempting it is.

That seems like a good starting point. This is going to big, which means you're going to have to be the Ghosty that you never thought existed. Not cannibalism, of course, but becoming comfortable with the idea of flesh on flesh contact. Part of your block here is your inability to understand people through touch.

Ghosty you have a lot there. Too many elements like that can muddle your story down, but the idea of monsters having a connection to their former anatagonists has a lot of potential for exploration. Instead of using obvious ripoff archetype super heroes, try to create a really likable "good guy" that becomes the villain as part of a misunderstanding. And... stay away from eating disorders.

It's also basically the premise of The Boys, and... just about every Isekai ln/manga/anime out there. But.... I see an epic where Godzilla goes out every day in a cape saving the world from Donald Trump and his evil henchman and comes home every night to Kagome's mom.
