Can’t help but notice when people don’t like a woman’s latest book/album/film/etc no ever just says “I didn’t like it.” They always have to say “I didn’t like it… and actually I’ve always thought she was a bitch too.”

I have been hyperfixated on Silent Hill F for the past four days and being fully immersed in its horrors has been less horrifying than everything else going on
