Doing a lot of soul searching as a result of this. I figure there's 3 ways to go from here on out :
1. Ignore everything, play videogames and hope it doesn't effect you aka. head in the sand. This is lame and cowardish.
2. Don't change anything, be aware of everything going on, be kind to those around you, be vocal online and to people you know about what's going on, and be regularly shocked and depressed at the state of events in the nation. This will be status quo & probably regularly depressing.
3. Be pro-active and look into ways to raise awareness and doing everything you can to try to change things in 4 years. This takes a lot of effort, may eventually prove a failed effort and horribly depressing, but is optimistic, hopeful and feels good doing the right thing.
Gonna look around and see what I can do to be pro-active in my local community. Also going to dissociate myself from the gaming community (aka neogaf) as a lot of things have been confirmed to me in the last few days about a good portion of the people who watch anime or play jrpgs on gaf. They live in a creepy weird bubble and I just find it's not a group I want to be interacting with. Tried to delete my profile but didn't see an option so when duckroll wakes up going to have him ban me for life. The bore is fine though, everyone's cool here for the most part.
