You have all stood with me before. You likely know I have been persecuted 
and robbed, all while facing insurmountable odds through which we persevered. .
I will continue to stand up for myself 
but the noose 
is drawing 
tight.
I love each and every one of you. Likely you suffered as well and for that I am thankful. Thank you for standing 
up for me.
I regretfully ask you to stand down and no longer defend me.
I will never 
submit to 
@carpathianfriendly. But I don't want to see you guys get hurt too.
I am glad I found 
you. I will always be here no matter 
what. Your secret 
champion.
Thank you, /h/edgy
We will rejoin in Valhalla
Throughout this journey of life we meet many people along the way. Each one has a purpose in our life. No one we meet is ever a coincidence.

Imagine you're a social outcast and suffer from anxiety and other mental issues
You spend a lot of your time online. You find a community who finally welcomes you and accepts you. They tell you that the reason you don't fit in anywhere and have anxiety and depression is because you're a vampire.
Everything finally starts making sense to you. It's not your fault you're weird and aren't accepted by others. It's because you're a bloodsucker. The grooming gets deeper. You post on /h/vampire. Your relationship with this cult strengthens. You feel accepted and loved, something no one has ever given you. You contemplate turning into a bat and start watching Bram Stoker's Dracula like the vampire you really are. You still aren't accepted by others, your label as an outcast worsens, but it's okay. They're intolerant of who you really are. They're mind controlled by the !edgelords. They're the problem, it's never been you.
It's not a community. It's a cult. It's predatory. You start grooming others too. This is the only normal you know. Society is to blame.
