He didn't seem to think it was a good idea but she pointed out that her axe weighs a lot more than his hammer.

I know Ren is doing his best to take care of me and it’s not fair to his efforts to keep feeling so down.

I guess it’s good that I can’t talk. It would be too tempting to unload my worry and sadness on the others. I worry they, and you here who read this, will get tired of me being such a downer.

Ren hypothesizes that these bullies don't appear in Mementos because while they cause momentary harm, ultimately they have very little impact. Their aimless attacks lack substance and staying power.

I hope that's true.

I hope the people they targeted feel proud of what they create.

Futaba says the people using bots are just losers who are desperate for attention but not willing to put the time into creating anything that would attract people on their own, and that's why they're bullying small-time creators.

It sure sounds like distorted desires...

At the same time I feel bad for the requesters who are being bullied and I don't understand why people would use bots just to hurt people they don't even know.

Could the bullies' behavior be part of a larger trend? Some other, bigger influence that might even have a Palace?

The people running the bots aren't in Mementos. I suppose if every bully was in Mementos, the Phantom Thieves would essentially become the Thought Police.

There's something scary about this. Why do some show up in Mementos and not others? Are we really doing the right thing?
