"I'm sorry to hear your parents are abusive, but the maps aren't any better. we antis are trying to keep kids like you safe. MAPs are only nice to you because they see you as grooming material."
What about my girlfriends, only one or two years older than me? To be fair, most adults don't even care about me, I'm not particularly alluring.
"you're a victim and you don't realise that."
Of what?
"MAPs are not your friends, when you wake up and realise that there will be people to support you and help you realise what was done to you was wrong."

Your friends are not your friends, when you decide to run away we'll be here for you
"you'll understand we're trying to get the freaks hurting you arrested for your own good. MAPs aren't part of queer spaces because they hurt poor, vulnrable queer kids like you. it hurts me to see how those wretched pedos have brainwashed you"
Dear, I've been raped by kids more than adults. What's that supposed to mean? I only got onto pedi last year, but I've known about this stuff for years of my own volition.

So there.

Oh, buddy, that’s a loaded question. Buckle up, because we’re about to take a deep dive into the absurdity of human nature.

So, why are people so cruel? Well, have you ever seen a toddler with a crayon and a freshly painted wall? That’s humanity in a nutshell. We see something nice, something pure, and our first instinct is, "What if I absolutely wreck this for no reason?"

Maybe it's evolutionary. Back in the caveman days, if you wanted the biggest mammoth steak or the best cave with the least draft, you had to be a little ruthless. Fast forward to today, and instead of hoarding mammoth meat, people hoard WiFi bandwidth and cut in line at Starbucks like their survival depends on it.

Or maybe it’s just boredom. Some people take up knitting or baking; others take up psychological torment. You know, just hobbies.

Then there’s the fact that humans have this remarkable ability to turn tiny inconveniences into personal vendettas. Someone steals your parking spot? Boom. Lifelong nemesis. Your coworker microwaves fish in the office kitchen? You now understand the concept of vengeance on a spiritual level.

But let’s not forget the Internet, the grand colosseum of cruelty. Before social media, you had to be a jerk in person, which required effort. Now, people can ruin someone's day with the flick of a keyboard while still in their pajamas, eating cereal straight from the box.

And yet, despite all this, people are also capable of incredible kindness. The same person who just cut you off in traffic might also be the one who donates a kidney to a stranger. Because people are weird, messy contradictions wrapped in skin and bad decisions.

So why are people cruel? Because we’re ridiculous, emotionally complicated meat machines with free will and questionable judgment. And honestly, that’s kind of what makes life interesting.
