Now, I can kind of sort of stomach the idea of "soul-bonding" because, you know, imaginary friends, whatever. That's fine with me. I can't get completely behind the idea, but I can see why some people would do that.
But why? Why, why, why is it almost always to a crazy fuck like Sephiroth? I have never understood this, ever.
Let's just pretend that Sephiroth is a real, living person, shall we? For, like, a second. Kay? Kay.
Now then, Sephiroth is, first of all, INSANE. Not like, "Oh, that guy is so CRAZY," but more like judged criminally insane by a court of law. He is evil. He has no humanity; he does, in fact, want to destroy humanity. Destroying entire villages because he can. Killing people in cold blood. Sephiroth is soulless. He's not "misunderstood."
So, why? Why do these weeaboo fuckers flock and cling to him? Why do they think he would care about them in the first place anyway? Am I fucking missing a giant point here? Aside from the fact that he's pretty?
I mean, he's not even the most complex and intertesting Final Fantasy antagonist (That honor goes to Kefka). He's not that cool! What in the fuck?
If you're going to have a grown-up version of an "imaginary friend," then why not chose somebody who actually might give a flying fuck about you if they existed in real life? Fucking. Christ. Even in their imaginations, women have bad taste in guys.
Now, about the site itself, I find it interesting that it takes a neutral, somewhat clinical and professional-sounding tone with these groups of people instead of the SomethingAwful "lulz crazy people let's make fun of them ceaselessly" tone that's so rampant on the Internet these days. It's refreshing.
...It still doesn't revive my hope in humanity, but still. |
