    A number of people have brought this up, so I think I should mention this: when making this video, I was aware that Jen is still an active soulbonder who has moved on to the Hannibal fandom, but I decided to cut off the video before that point for two reasons. First, my intention was not to talk about Jen, but rather the Final Fantasy House. Second, the video was already pushing 40 minutes, and to cover Jen's further activities would have easily sent it past the 1 hour mark. This would have made the production cycle prohibitively long and the video much less accessible, neither of which I was willing to allow. This does not, however rule out a video about Jen or Tattle-Crime in the future.

So her wearing a lab coat and being a FF7 fan was 'meh'.
      EDIT: found it. @altec surtan said
      "I use to work at the north Atherton-walmart back then. Renee use to come in at night to go shopping and yes she would dress as Hojo. I can not recall anybody with her. She did not stink and was very talkative and normal beside her dress code. Granted we had short chats about video games especially about Final Fantasy seven and the theory it was based on Earth. State College back then was still grungy and had character, play-land was still active filled with stoned kids and cigarette smoke, nirvana's closet was on it last leg. Coffee shops and Asian restaurants. There was all kinds of weirdos back then, so she never stood out compared to the other the goths, punks, proto weebs and skaters. This really fucks with my head, never would of guessed what a hot mess she and her friends were behind closed doors.

    @MrLordFireDragon Рік тому +358

    People talk pretty unhealthily about neurodivergence a lot, and others rightfully pick them up on victimising people because they happen to think or behave differently. I think there's a lot of discussion to be had about where 'mental illness' and pity end and 'abuse' starts.
    I think the line is just that: at the point where you 'being yourself' is abuse to others - destroying their property, controlling their lives, refusing to contribute or aid those around you - is the point where you can no longer claim you're just neurodivergent and should be treated with respect. There are people who are heavily autistic or have other 'disorders' who are perfectly capable of understanding and interacting with society, but society doesn't accept them because they act weird, or don't express themselves the way others do. Especially when things like therapy and medication clearly help you coexist with others without abuse, you can't claim to just 'think differently' and get a pass for abusive behaviour.
    I suppose it's important for people to know this so they don't get sucked into codependent (or worse) relationships with people who try to co-opt messages of tolerance to get away with abuse. If someone in your life is hurting you like this, get out and get help.

Though I feel like there isn’t anything /Inherently/ wrong with the concept of otherkin and connecting with fictional characters in that way there’s So much toxicity and manipulation from the online culture the community creates. The worst part is the fact that abusers can Much easier groom victims by telling a victim that they were important to eachother in their past life to convince them that there’s no need to establish boundaries or build trust before jumping into a serious relationship/friendship. Plus from my experience most people who id with otherkin are lgbt minors (like I was) so altogether a Very impressionable group of people who often seek out support from these online communities they might not be getting irl without realizing they could end up being taken advantage of

    "Cetra Queen" Jenova? Wow, she didn't even understand the character she was imitating. Jenovah wasn't a Cetra, this was a mistaken assumption initially made by the Shinra scientists that discovered her remains. The Cetra where a human offshoot that engaged in magic and mysticism that mostly died out after Jenovah preyed on them.
    In reality, Jenovah was a deceptive alien parasite that would manipulate others into serving her own ends... hmm, maybe Jen DID understand the character.

    I wonder if the person going by Jen realizes the irony of their choice of name. Jenova in the ff7 games is a villainous parasite from space who manipulates people and tries to destroy the world.

      My thoughts exactly. I couldn't help but wonder, how much of her behavior comes from subconsciously playing the part of Jenova? Did she choose Jenova to "bond" with in the first place because she was already an abusive, manipulative person and could relate, or did she become an abusive, manipulative person over time because that's just what she thinks Jenova would do in her situation?

We spent a night hunting them down, pretending we were too stupid to know they weren’t real. This effectively diminished the population by getting many of them remembering it was a game, not a way of life. There is something here that’s allows people to be supported waaaaay to far into a delusion.

    Very cool video. Very uncomfortable to sit through. I suppose this was common place back in the early 2000's era of the internet.

I've never said this once on any sort of social media, but I figured hey... it's vague enough, and on a UA-cam comment, so it'll drown out.
