like the older you get, the more mistakes you make, the more you have to regret, and being an adult is about learning to live with that. but even so, there’s some shit you cannot come back from. there’s some stuff that will mark you for your entire life and harassing a 12 year old kid to suicide is one of those things. it’s the same reason i always go 25 in school zones no matter what, because that’s one of those things i know - if i hurt a kid with my car and there’s even one iota of a chance i could have prevented it by being more careful, i would not recover from that. it’s a mistake i physically and mentally couldn’t live with.
so i’m looking at these antis and i can’t understand how they’re going to deal with this later in their lives. i don’t know how you build a good life knowing you harassed someone to the point of death over a fanart of two adult cartoon characters. you’ve marked yourself with that cruelty and like… i don’t know that there’s any redemption for something like that. you can try, but you better start now and you better go fast and you better never look back. and maybe that’ll be enough. maybe.
