and yet again, somehow, when this is said out loud I realize this too is wrong. Plenty of the gays I know should technically be super far along that hedonic treadmill, and yet they somehow are able to both be attracted to real people and aren't like... this... at all...

It's also not tainted by the like, utter distaste for humanity from a philsophical perspective that seems to be the Anime Mindset
