I came to this video to look at a different perspective towards the OfflineTV drama, but i did not expect to come out learning how to be a better man and build healthier relationships. Thank you for this video. The part about how women and men are raised to react to things in our society, was definitely an eye opener.

I’m glad I have learned from this too I feel like I have a new perspective on life. I really hope Fed can heal and become a better person also!

Masters in psychology here, and he is hitting the nail perfectly. Especially on the gender role aspect. Yvonne(depending on she was raised) is even more susceptible to "not making scene" because in traditional Asian culture the female has been taught for generations to be the submissive one. Like I said it depends on her upbringing but it is quite obvious she was raised with some of these aspects with how submissive she is to the males of the house. On the flip side FED is extremely insecure. That has been known by any who watches them, this just shows how his insecurities pushed him to try and act. This whole joke of "Fed can't get a gf" really fuels that insecurity and pushed him to do something that shouldn't be done. People are so fast to judge yvonnne but fail to realize the centuries social norm/standards have made it almost impossible to "just say no"

On a related note (same scene in the video), when he said that girls are taught not be emotional: I'm raised in a (slightly ) different culture, German, but here everything is basically catered towards girls being emotional. "Don't upset a girl" "Girls are always right" Especially the part of "Girls are emotional and see things in a different light" confused me so much, because I'm also a very emotional person. So when I have a problem with something a girl does it goes (usually, not generalizing) "you don't get, you're a guy" and they get mad and angry about miniscule things. Why do they think that just because I'm a guy that I DON'T get mad about little things? I do. But I second guess WHY I feel that way and try to express it without getting angry in a way that I think is constructive and not destructive. Why is it okay when girls sabotage perfectly healthy relationships because of a misunderstanding and not second guessing theirselves? So what I'm saying here is that in Germany it is basically the opposite problem of girls not second guessing themselves enough

i never thought about this! But you're so right. I grew up in a latin American culture and the women are typically meant to be quiet and if something happens to them (like rape or harassment) it's their fault for "letting it happen." its more old school and times are changing, but its still definitely around. another thing is that the fight or flight reaction kicks in sometimes. in my personal experience, I've always frozen when all of the sudden a situation takes a turn for the worse or just starts to make me uncomfortable. I've always gotten angry at myself afterward bc of it, and in some of those situations that anger for not reacting or removing myself before it turned bad was what stopped me from going to other people for help after the fact.

@@HeresorLegacy This just sounds like a toxic relatinship dynamic. Whether people complain about minuscule things is entirely unrelated to sex, it just arises from some mental deficiancy or an unhealthy dynamic. I don't think it makes sense to view this from a point of gender-analysis, everyone gets emotional and can complain about little things. This guy was talking about bigger issues like harrassment and sexual misconduct, which ARE hugely influenced by gender. Of course, when a girl says "you don't get it, ur a guy", this is at best misguided and at worst toxic. But i'm austrian, and i have never heard a girl say that, so probably this is a problem that pertains to your close socual circle rather than our culture at large.

Yes that is such a great explanation another example is I was raised around (not in) Mormon culture and women are seen as homemakers and mothers not workers or anything like that so they see themselves in that old stereotypes and see everything as find a husband then please him and they are raised not to displease someone. One of my friends was very cautious in our own neighborhood going for a run and I asked why she said we could be in danger and I said something like I have things to defend ourselves so as long as we are careful we'll be fine but she saw it as we would injure that person and that was a almost more important that our safety. As someone who saw this from a outside perspective I was worried and perplexed but I talked to another girl raised Mormon about something similar and they reacted the same (disclaimer I only asked 2-4 people this and one had answered differently so it does depend on parents and maybe it isnt necessary Mormon and more w diffent environmental factor) also another thing that affects me this way is how some men use pmsing as an excuse to belittle a woman's feeling no matter what they are I'm on mobile so I didn't punctuate, spell, or use Grammer to the extent of my abilities, apologies.

Yeah they were really mean to him. I'm not trying to defend him though. What he did was bad, but the things they said to him before all of this must have fed (not a pun) his insecurities in some way. I had a friend at a previous job, where people always called him fat. They did it right to his face. I know he pretended to not get hurt but I also know it did hurt him. People can be really mean sometimes.

People who think it is so easy to say no, I wonder if you ever have been put into that sort of situation, where you just don't know what's going on and you freeze up. It's a really scary thing.

Don't you think theres some value in learning how to say no though? I know it's not a clear cut idea of when or how to say no, but it seems like if someone is able to properly teach themselves and give themselves guidelines as to how to say no, they won't find themselves in as many painful moments. It's easier said than done, but it genuinely seems like proper implementation of saying no can save people a lot of pain and dilemma

@@robertwelch2843 Of course there's SOME value in learning how to better say no, but you also have to realize even the most rational persons can freeze up in moments like that. It's like wilderness training and then coming up against a bear in the woods, alone. It's not as easy as just learning techniques and situations and empowerment, you feel SO SMALL in the moment, and so many things can go wrong. And in a lot of situations saying no doesn't do a whole lot. You can see in some of Yvonnes previous videos featuring Fed that he plays most of his interactions off as a joke or being playful. So even when he's told no, or to stop, he says "What's the big deal I'm just playing" and continues. This is how a lot of awkward situations occur, because they are friends, and he's already established these 'quirky' boundary pushes and blurred lines, so occasionally pushing a toe past the line can more easily be played off as innocent, until it's not.

There's also the fear that when you say no to a guy that he will not listen and instead escalate his behaviour.

Of course sexual assault also happens to men and women can be perpetrators but I see a lot of 'If you said no this bad thing wouldn't have happened to you're going around.

In what world would things not get worse if she kept quiet? This whole thing *reeks* of running away from your problems. Putting them off because you don't want to deal with them, even though you're just letting them fester and get worse. That said, there's more you can do than just say no, if they won't take no for an answer. Like physically fight back. Like scream for help. Do you really think Fed would have *any* way of manipulating the situation when everyone comes running to find them in her bed, late at night, with her screaming and fighting him? There is absolutely *no way* he could turn that around. I sympathise with not knowing what to do or freezing up or feeling like things will just get worse if you do anything. That's exactly the kind of person I am and exactly the kind of response I've had in bad situations (physical abuse from a family member). The problem is, wallowing in self-pity, or thinking those responses are "correct" or something is just wrong. It's not helpful.

i wanna say the worst experience i had with a guy was when i was actually trying to be nice to him because i could tell he was trying hard to get a girlfriend. I didn't want to immediately reject him or anything so I just kept talking to him and tried to be as polite as possible. I think i accidentally came off as being flirty though because when he asked me out I said that I'm sorry and I wasn't interested and he flipped out and got aggressive towards me. I understand being hurt that the person you like doesn't like you back but you have to just do the adult thing and walk away. the person doesn't deserve to be attacked. I encourage guys like this to really build their self esteem, make really good friends, and just spend time mediating and maybe working on your hobbies and your career. you can't just make women the end all be all of your worth as a human.

I hope fed gets as much help as he needs

I’m glad you posted this, I had to learn about this the hard way with someone I really liked. Afterwards I apologized and stated that I wouldn’t be in a relationship till I was more mature as I felt that my immature actions fractured our relationship.

I believe that high school and early college is when men or teenage boys need to learn about the points you made, thank for sharing all the amazing advice you do!

I feel like anyone who says "you could have just said no" has never been in a situation like that. When it happens its so sudden that your brain and your body just freeze in shock. Your brain is trying to figure out what the hell is happening and your body wont respond to your brain screaming "GET IT OFF. GET IT AWAY. STOP." I cant explain it but when it happens you can physically feel your body and muscles repulse away from the touch. It feels disgusting. Your brain is screaming bloody murder and to get away from that disgusting feeling but your body is so in shock you can't respond. "caught like a deer in headlights" and "scared stiff" is a REAL thing. Trust me, in the moment you are powerless to do anything. POWERLESS!

One of the lines that make me wanna break down or attack someone is 'why didn't they say no?','you can just say no,'

It’s got some comedy to it but the guy tries to teach these - in my opinion at least - fairly toxic and manipulative ways of meeting and “seducing” women.

Great video! Can't wait for the other half of the series There is so many pov's of this drama and fed experiences. One that completely changed my mind was the one from his ex bestfriend.

Honestly, it is so helpful to see the dynamic between couples. Social needs are incredibly important, and, from an early age (maybe adolescence) we should be learning about healthy relationship dynamics. There should be a class for healthy relationships taught at school ✨✨😅

Trying to see humor in this, we made the same face reacting to the same part. Honestly, I feel sad for Fed in a way because he's gone this far without getting help. This kind of behavior manifests over many years of unhealthy thinking. The "Just say no" thing, yes you should be firm if you feel something is off, but that's hindsight. In the moment it sounds like Fed always positioned himself in scenarios where he minimizes the "simple yes/no" function of social dynamics. Which is incriminating in itself, because he KNOWS what he's doing to a certain level. Kind of like a "If I do this directly, it'll be a problem, but if I just ease this it'll probably be tolerated". He's aware of boundaries and is trying to bypass them. That's abusive manipulation and that does raise the warning flag for potentially further abuse.

I mean, I was taught that, as a woman, you must please others. For instance, if I were to be with someone on a plane and the oxygen masks came down, I would be a horrible person if I didn't help the ones beside me with their masks before I put mine on. I was taught that by society. Kind of like how it's my fault if teachers or male students are distracted if I wear a tank top during a hot day in class, therefore I am not allowed to. My female friend in 11th grade was invited to a party, and she invited me. A guy I had a crush on was hosting the event. When we got to the apartment, all the beds were out. There was no food in the fridge or cupboards. The toilet didn't work. There was only alcohol and drugs. A 40 year old man greeted us at the door, with the 16 year old guy I had a crush on. My friend and I said we had to pee, went to the bathroom, and we decided that if we left too early they might force us to stay. A 30 year old man was the only other person there. 2 adults, 3 guys, two underaged high school girls. I refused to parttake in alcohol or drug use to the best of my ability, until the 40 year old man opened a bottle of beer and stuck it in my hands. It was already hard for me to say no, because when I say no, as a woman, no one takes me seriously. "Are you sure?" "Come on, lighten up!" "Just go with the flow." I was able to get myself out an hour later, saying my mom worked with the government and she'd be looking for me with her squad if I didn't get home in 30 mins. I grabbed my friend and the 40 year old stopped me. He told me I could go but she had to stay. She had been drinking, because as a woman, you can't simply say no. If you say no, you open the door for being forced to do something. The fear in both of our eyes showed. The man saw it, he didn't care and he grabbed her wrist. I said she was spending the night at my house, and because she was my mother's responsibility the same thing would happen. He relunctantly let her go. I told my mom what happened nonchalantly, we share almost everything with each other so I didn't see much difference between sharing that and sharing other school drama I went thru. The following monday, I went to school and got called into the counselor's office. I found out it was supposed to be a prostitution set up. Cops were handling it, and they needed me to make a statement. All of my school friends hated me at that point. I was a rat for breaking down a party. No one wanted to be associated with me anymore. Saying no to drinking and doing drugs and getting raped and becoming a prostitute and saving my friend from the same thing cost me my social life. The worst part? This happens more often than any man thinks. Saying no costs you your social life, your credibility, the trust others have in you, if you are a woman. I tried to say no when I was raped when I was 19. You know what he said? It'll be fine, stop worrying. Once he was done, he looked at me and said I guess this means we're dating. I didn't say anything. I didn't smile. He left. He came back every night. I became his girlfriend for 2 months. He broke up with me. Simply saying no and being assertive has never worked. Not in any situation I've been in. I've had to overthink things, find loop holes, and make the others more uncomfortable than they make me to be able to get out of nasty situations. No one takes no seriously unless a man is saying it.

@@Beanasaurus thanks for sharing your stories, it must be hard, I believe we have a lot to work on as a society, we aren't taught how to respect others or have boundaries which should be very important for all humans and these people who do that stuff are really sick and they need help.

Maybe you can make a video telling women HOW to speak up to men, say no, deal with men who ignore micro expressions, and so on...or even how to in a good way decline a man, and of he persist; how to deal. Generally maybe even in friendsships, how to take up space, dissagree. We need it. I need it.

Love how in depth you go into all of the people you cover, shows how passionate you are. Quality content 😊

I think it would be helpful to give tips on how to have practical improvements to your own or a man's character in general, not just explaining the behavior, I think explaining the behavior is great, but a better way to build relationships would progress the value of the videos even more to me. As a man who struggles with building deeper/more mutually valuable fulfilling relationships with women, I would like to learn how to do this without tricking, or hurting another person.

Def

When I hear Yvonne, lily and poki's stories I remember the first time someone was ever interested in me. It wasn't on the same level. I was 17 and started hanging out with a guy. At one point we were sitting on the couch and he decided to lay his head on my chest. This made me super uncomfortable and I didn't say anything but tried to naturally push the situation towards something else with little give. My heart was pounding out of anxiety and he even commented on it. In this situation I don't blame either of us. It was just an uncomfortable situation and I'm sure he just misunderstood and thought I was nervous because I liked him. It still wasn't an okay situation for me to go through though and now I'm more comfortable assuring when I'm uncomfortable and pushing people to ask before they touch me and asked before I touch others aswell. I hope others learn to be more careful with making sure people are comfortable with what they're doing before they do it aswell because it shouldn't always be put on the recipient to say they don't want something.

Honestly this really hits me I appreciate this video because it really helps you get a different view of these situations

This series has left me with a lot to think about with my life and soul

The way you described Fed, it reminds me of my fellow friend. Not in relationship terms, more on friendship terms. One of our friends kinda triggered him, and even after apologizing to him, he would go out of his way, to tell everyone how bad the person was. Even though the other guy apologized and he even said "its ok, bros for life", he still has the urge for revenge. He would constantly try to put himself as a "victim", ultimately making people side by him. The other guy would constantly be attacked, by that group of people, when they didn't even know the whole context of it. Its just so fucked up to think that a close friend would do such an act to another person.

Putting on the side how evil and terrible this was, holy hell how much tought and planning went into this, like, oh my, slowly and carefuly taking chances, having a response, creating a power dynamic... Those things are not casually created in this situations

I just learned about all this Fed stuff today, and I can’t believe that the signs were there yet never connected sooner

Stayed tune for this video and my good sir u earned a sub. I believe it is important for everyone to understand these situations and u are here to help clarify and unify our thoughts. Much respect

10:10 ok so this whole "just say no" thing has been going around my head for quite some time, im a man and i've been assaulted by another man (not gonna tell the whole story unless its requested) and while i've seen so many people, even professionals make the argument of being in a "catatonic" state, like, i get it, i was there too, but atleast after a few seconds i was able to push back, i can't say i dont understand just being in a permanent catatonic state but i also can't say that not an irresponsible thing to do, even if when involuntary, BUT, here is the but, I personally do find the explanations you've (Anthony Recenello) given make alot of sense and are probably atleast one of the causes, maybe a combination of everything i've said before, but i do commend you having this reasonable explanation, i'm not sure if that finishes scratching my itch about this, if you'd like to know what my issue in understanding this is (whoever reading) im more than glad to have a conversation about it, but it has to do with a "duty to retreat" this is obviously aside from everything else fed has done including the full ivvone confession where she explains he did this multiple times even after she had expressed her uncomfortableness

That’d actually be pretty interesting.

it's sad how common this power dynamic is and how many men feel the way fed probably did. i'm glad you made this video to explain it so that people can see it more, both in themselves and others.

I'm glad you're reacting to these vids because since you're coming from an outsider perspective, maybe the dudes defending Fed dismissing his behavior will understand why he had to get kicked out of the house

18:26 'precedent' is the word you're looking for. Thanks for turning an unfortunate situation into a teachable moment for many of us.

I was in a relationship with this type of person before and I never knew how to explain why it was toxic, why it felt wrong sometimes, and a big part of that past I felt I was the one in the wrong, maybe I was the bad person but there was nothing I could do about it, its just who I was and it really made it impossible to explain to him why I wanted to break up, its a pile up of stuff I couldn't really explain, and now as I watch you explain whats wrong with this one person, don't get me wrong, most of this behavior is inconscient sometimes but it's toxic and controlling as well. In any case it helped me know what to call it and give names to the things that actually happened. Thank you Anthony

Really glad you’re out here trying to educate on how to have healthier relationships, & I feel like talking about what makes relationships unhealthy is just as important as talking about the opposite. It takes both people to choose to treat each other with respect, but what about when that doesn’t happen? Boundaries are so important, but I feel like often we as women (& as a society) have never been taught that it’s ok the put parameters in place. My mama always tells me that if I’m genuinely upset by someone, that means my boundaries have been crossed. It’s so helpful even realizing that I have the authority to say “no, sorry, you’ve crossed a boundary & that’s not ok with me.” All that’s to say thanks for doin what you’re doin. I think it’s important.

I don't know anything about this particular situation, but I wanted to sincerely thank you for raising awareness on this kind of issue!! It is so important :)

i actually started crying when he was talking about saying no and the role women were taught, because of how true it was.

Thankyoy, I have been going about dating in the wrong way. I never did anything bad but its better to understand how to get a proper relationship

I wanna see how Anthony would react to Moe's statement

I felt Fuslie did a good job at expressing her feelings about her experiences with Fed. Would watch a reaction to her clip.

Damn, you have a way with words. Teach me your ways.

He will never be the same, and I´m sorry for him

These videos are so amazing. You teach us about so much but it's also very entertaining at the same time! Keep up the good work.

How to deal with men who take advantage of womens insecurities and the way many women are raised...

Thank you for clearing up a lot of things on both sides, for males & females. I really didn't like how people were reacting to Yvonne's statement so thank you again for giving better insights about how she felt.

So, when this all first happened, I did genuinely think that, while Fed was obviously in the wrong, Yvonne really should have said, "no." I'm gay; I've had men sometimes make unwanted advancements, and when that happens I usually say something along the lines of "dude what the fuck are you doing?" Now, though, after having time to reflect on the situation and having started this series, I realize, thanks to you, it really is way more nuanced than that. Fed was a friend they all trusted whole-heartedly, and he took advantage of it by slowly pushing how far he could go. I know everyone involved is an adult, but I can't help thinking it sounds a lot like someone being groomed. Fed very slowly made what should have been inappropriate and uncomfortable something that seemed normal. I very much remember Poki mentioning in a stream a while back that Fed just unzipped his pants near her and started peeing in front of her, using alcohol as an excuse. Fed wasn't just some dude, he was everybody's friend who betrayed their trust until he put them in incredibly difficult and uncomfortable situations, and I feel bad for ever thinking she bore any responsibility as well in any way.

Thanks for your insight in this matter. This gives me a lot of knowledge about the matter. Cause this kind of problem happened to my group of friends too. I was the first person whom my friend(girl) opened up to. The guy friend I have before acted like fed too. I was the first person who the girl (like Yvonne) have seek help to the matter. I was just a teenager that time and the moment I got hold of the abuse that was happening. I acted on emotions and confronted my guy friend. Things badly escalated and people on my friends circle started picking sides. But eventually the matter was settled. I was hoping if you could give insight on this while reacting on DisguisedToast's statement video about the matter with Fed. Because while watching disguised toast video I felt the same way he did as the person that discovered the matter first. As to what Disguisedtoast said "I should have done more". If possible I would love to hear your insights on how should these kinds of issues to be handled by the first person who discovered the issue. Thanks.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/lmioj7SOZtW2lJM.html this was Disguised Toast statement of the matter, who was a good friend of Fed. And was living with them on the otv house.

I can’t believe people say to victims “just say no!” But as a woman I can’t even say no to someone offering me food! And I get genuinely uncomfortable when someone does but people don’t see those cues. Same goes for sexual assault, people can get so uncomfortable and not say no but the person giving the action should know boundaries. Like people are so heartless when it’s not them in the situation

It is so so SO important that the explanation and message about the saying no complex. That what is going here, with the expressing what women have to grow up. It is so so so important that the message of power dynamic is with the female and make gender. Thank you so much!! God bless you for your videos.

Really good to hear your analysis and look at my own behavior and see how I can improve, thank you

I would really like to hear your take on the zyori (dota 2)incident as well

This reminds me of Jimmy Neutron creating the problem and then “saves the day” at the end of the episode 23:40

fed needs to get the bandaid ripped off and told “Women will not like you if you treat them horribly after you learn that they don’t like you romantically.” i would say it in a harsh manner, i’m in no way qualified to be a therapist or something. it’s just how i would do it.

I think it's worryingly telling how the first time I've heard something in one of these videos about Fed where I haven't done something like it was the blatant emotional manipulation of "Oh I'm a horrible person" guilt tripping thing. The worst part is that I _could_ see myself doing something similar to that, though not that obvious. I'm just glad I got here before I reached that point.

There's one thing I think about when I watch these videos, and that's Fed saying, "I'm a confident guy," when he was responding to being called ugly on the Austin Show. I'm no expert, but I don't think confidence is a quality that you have to convince people of.

Thank you Anthony for the insight of how women thinks about saying no

So uh I'm coming to the point where I'll be an adult soon not specifying my age but I've never had long relationships and I want advice on how to treat the person I love with respect and keep her and myself happy when I do meet that special person I have very little relationship experience so I don't catch on to much things

Anthony Recenello There was a lot of mobile ads for games and cars. When I first opened the video there was 6 ads throughout the video.

Women tend to overthink. They're uncomfortable. They don't like it. But the mind contemplating of a hundred scenarios from it's probably not a knowing fault to maybe it's me, just sidelines the No. It just gets buried and it's too late until we really wanna say no.

The first part of the URLs are twitch.tv/videos/. Yassuo - former Fed best friend, feels betrayed, Fadressing fed begins at 00:minute and goes for under an hour. url = 666159333 Lilypichu - Yvonne and Lilypichu put out written statements on twitter regarding Fed and Lilypichu specifically about her former manager. There's a lot of drama as Lily felt she had to retract her statements regarding Chris Chan. Chris apologized for violating Lilypichu's trust and felt blindsided when these accusations came out years later. It would be an interesting angle to see how to move on and repair relationships after violation of space and trust. Entire vid: 666420681 Angelskimi - A member of Just Friends, the sister streamer house to OfflineTV, disbanded multiple times while OfflineTV stayed together, recounts history and sexual assaults by Fed: 666620861 Fuslie - Head of Just Friends house, has stories of amnipulation by Fed, /665439116 Written statements by Yvonne, Lily, Fed, Chris Chan: url starts with reddit(dot)com/r/Destiny/comments/hh7nxy/fedmeyster_removed_from_offlinetv/ Timeline: Yvonne goes on Dr. K, tells story of assault without names, Yvonne later releases twitlonger with story along with Lilypichu, then Fed and Chis Chan reply, then Yvonne and Lily come out with twitch videos followed by Pokiemane, then Yassuo and Angelskimi plus numerous other members of the stream community, followed by CNN coverage of situation.

I had a similar issue with a guy. He’s by NO MEANS as bad as Fed, blatantly talking crap about me to other people. I know he wouldn’t do that. But he guilted me a lot into staying in a relationship/try to make the relationship work. He also made me look bad in front of my friends, but probably not intentionally. It’s just the way he was pushing me to the limit made me lash out in a really ugly way, and my best friends had to see a really ugly side of me that I’m not usually (or ever) like. I felt really isolated during the situation, and it was tough for me because I thought he was the only person who would ever like me or the only person I would have that connection with, and I wanted to be comforted by him because he was initially one of my best friends and during the situation he didn’t judge me for lashing out like my other best friends did, but paradoxically he was the person I was breaking up with he so I couldn’t do that. Overall, I just felt like he was the only person I could be with, who wouldn’t judge me, and who understood me, but in reality it’s just because of how he reacted to my reaction to him pushing me to the limit. First his actions and words caused me to lash out (he probably didn’t mean to push me to my limits) but then he reacted kindly to me even though I was rude. It ended up making him the victim and me the bad person, and I had to deal with excruciating guilt about hurting him and breaking up with him, and I almost did give in and say “maybe I should just go along with it.” Because it was so hard to say “no” to him. Every time I tried it just became a really messy situation because he would look pitiable and I would look like a witch. He’s such a great person, and I really did feel horrible for breaking up with him, but at the moment I didn’t realize I wasn’t obligated to be in a relationship I didn’t want to be in. I didn’t have to force myself. I think I understand better about WHY I went through my situation the way I did now.

So at first, I was sus about you because I thought you were like the 'alpha male' youtubers but then here you are proving me wrong. I'm going to watch a few more videos of you but I'm subscribing

It would be really cool if you could get do some coaching with Fed at some point. I'm guessing he probably has a way to go before being comfortable talking truthfully about it publically

Ive had two situations that deeply hurt me and made me feel just dirty. One was in VR, One was a Nightmare. Ive never spoken about either, other than mentioning it once to my friends once because I keep thinking, "Who cares? It was just a Nightmare, get over it. You'll never meet that person again, stop worrying." But the emotional trauma still exists. I need to get this out of my head, but I don't know who to talk to, so I might just write it down and burn the paper or something idk. Thank you for reading my random vent-y thing, I'd say sorry but there's no reason to.
