Man, reading this while having an Aria Math cover going... Well, I don't know why, but it's really giving The Stanley Parable vibes. It's like I can hear the narrator, haha!
...
Get this man out of my head, please.

Back to the main topic (Long rant, apologies! And I know the running gag of not acknowledging whatever this is as... whatever, but I'm a prude and I will send my compliments to the chef), this is an excellent apolitical satirical commentary on the state of identity politics. If you able to read the (quite surface level) message, it is clear that struggling with self-presence and the reality of the world is a fruitless endeavor. Things will exist, as should you. Reality is a selfish being, who has its rules laid out and the dice already rolled, rolling, or getting ready to be rolled. Trying your best to "not offend" anyone will, more than likely, end up offending someone. That's just life; it's paradoxical and cunning. All actions have consequences, and it's rather childish to try to run away from all of it. Sometimes there're results that you had no part in but affect you regardless, but that's just a part of living.

Personally, I do try my best not to step on any toes. It's more of a hassle to deal with escalatory aggressive people, but at the same time I still have my own existence to worry about. I will have my own opinions and views upon the world. If someone doesn't like them, it's unfortunate, but I'd instead rather live in avoidance and mutual peace.  If someone tries to change my views, oh well I could listen at first, but in most online cases, it usually ends up being demeaning and self-serving, to which I would simply turn the other cheek... or fight them about it. Otherwise, if the person was kind about it, well it probably wouldn't change much, but it'd at least be a nice conversation. What can I say? I was raised to dissociate or retaliate if someone does me wrong, and as a person I still have my pride. I'm most always competitive with words or games, unfortunately. But that is me, and that is what I deal with.

Overall, I do hope everyone can find their place in the world and not have to shove others to do it or conform to their self-beliefs. And again, apologies for the length! I just enjoy typing.
