No, the insane bloodthirst and cheerleading from couchbound Americans is reminding me of post 9/11, and it is frankly stomach churning.

I wasn’t talking about S1mple and neither was OP try reading.

It will be a meaningless tragedy one way or another. All that will be left in the rubble is the dead civilians pressed into service on both sides. And if you don’t see the epic memes and cheerleading on Twitter as sickening rubbernecking then, man, I don’t know what to tell you.

nothing wrong.

Bowser innocent. Fuck the fed pigs, fuck nintendo.
