I remember back in 9th Grade I was placed in a "Special Education" room instead of treated like a mildly autistic student. At least I was able to attend actual classes, but I still thought it was bullshit to be placed in that sort of environment and I hated being there. Not even my mother liked that, and thanks to her not being a troglodyte like Bob and Barb were I am able to live a (mostly) normal life.
I had no idea there would exist a person before me who is a psychological black hole then. Back in 2006, I was some highly overweight cunt who judged people in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom for their shipping preferences and if I didn't find some LiveJournal community judging my offensive behavior after getting banned from a shipping community on deviantART and accepted my criticism to later redeem myself, I would have been a black hole like him. And if it weren't for that LiveJournal community, I wouldn't have been able to adapt to the Encyclopedia Dramatica (I loathe that site now, for different reasons).
And of course, don't start with the parallels...
