Cool!

2021-02-23 12:47:02 UTC  

@ASongofJoy Hello, welcome to the server. I usually hang out in here or in <#801170149855723540> . If you write anything, post it here, I'll be happy to give it a read.

2021-02-23 14:03:15 UTC  

Alright, so Six Five.

2021-02-23 14:03:45 UTC  

I had an idea based on something that actually happened to someone close to me.

2021-02-23 14:04:59 UTC  

Y'know how I'm always talking about Post Trauma? Reason I know so much is because something happened to someone close to me. I read up on it because I wanted to understand what had happened to her.

2021-02-23 14:07:40 UTC  

Alright, so the real life version of this is: A woman close to me was having problems with her relationship with her boyfriend. I figured this out through my sister, because my sister and I knew her growing up. One day she like totally cuts me out of her life, I wanna know why. Just out of the blue, this woman won't respond to texts, calls, anything.

2021-02-23 14:09:32 UTC  

And so I eventually after a year of this I say like "Y'know, I've offered that whatever's happening in your life, you can trust me. But you still haven't gotten back to me, so I'm ready to just delete your number and forget you ever existed."

2021-02-23 14:13:13 UTC  

hey trow, im done. Whats up?

2021-02-23 14:14:31 UTC  

So my sister calls me up, and she has my friend's boyfriend with her, and they offer to meet me at the coffee shop to discuss exactly what's happening.

Boyfriend got suspicious when he heard my friend was making up lies about where she had been. He starts asking her questions, but she adamantly maintains that she was where she told him she was. He asks the phone company for records on her cell phone, and there are naked pictures of her with two other men. But there's something wrong in the pictures. She won't face the camera. Every time there's one of these pictures, it looks like she's hiding her face on purpose. So this doesn't seem to be...something where there's total consent.

2021-02-23 14:15:19 UTC  

damn

2021-02-23 14:16:00 UTC  

So the police get involved. Turns out, these two guys were sexual predators, and they had actually dug into psychology to intentionally provoke PTSD in the people they went after.

2021-02-23 14:16:13 UTC  

holy fuck

2021-02-23 14:17:25 UTC  

They used psychological techniques to lure women to places where they would be vulnerable, then used PTSD to make sure that they would black out once these things started happening.

Remember how this woman adamantly insisted that she hadn't been lying?

2021-02-23 14:17:43 UTC  

yes

2021-02-23 14:17:54 UTC  

She wasn't lying. Her brain would not let her remember the trauma.

2021-02-23 14:18:17 UTC  

So it made up memories as to where she had been.

2021-02-23 14:18:21 UTC  

damn... I believe it, but holy shit.

2021-02-23 14:18:37 UTC  

tell me they copped thos fuckers that hurt her

2021-02-23 14:19:09 UTC  

They did. They found DM's and messages between these two guys and some websites online.

2021-02-23 14:19:42 UTC  

Explaining how to do this to people, how to identify the people who would be the most vulnerable to these kinds of techniques.

2021-02-23 14:20:25 UTC  

damn. psychological "warfare", for lack of a better term, is so fucked.

2021-02-23 14:20:32 UTC  

Right.

2021-02-23 14:21:14 UTC  

So I had an idea for something in the story. But I'm not sure it's believable.

2021-02-23 14:21:40 UTC  

care to run it by?

2021-02-23 14:21:45 UTC  

I'd love to hear it

2021-02-23 14:22:44 UTC  

So, you know much about WH40k?

2021-02-23 14:25:52 UTC  

Well, basically the universe is a blend of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Anyways.

2021-02-23 14:26:12 UTC  

brb

2021-02-23 14:28:22 UTC  

aight, sorry, my teacher was asking me some things

2021-02-23 14:28:29 UTC  

didn't mean to ghost you

2021-02-23 14:28:36 UTC  

no idk about wh40k

2021-02-23 14:29:13 UTC  

Don't worry, if this is a bad time, you don't have to pay attention to this right now. You can get back to me whenever you have time, and we can kind of pin this so you can find it again.

2021-02-23 14:30:08 UTC  

yup. class is winding down, that's the only reason he's talking to us

2021-02-23 14:30:23 UTC  

I have guitar next, which is a total jerk-off class xD

2021-02-23 14:30:29 UTC  

But anyways. Dwarves, elves. All of these things plus spaceships. And, yet, despite everything, Warhammer makes it cool. Which is amazing.

So my fiction is trying to go after the same thing.

2021-02-23 14:30:40 UTC  

ahh

2021-02-23 14:30:46 UTC  

so all that stuff alex jones rants about?

2021-02-23 14:31:12 UTC  

? 4th dimensional fairies? Haven't gotten quite that far yet.

2021-02-23 14:31:36 UTC  

And I don't listen to Alex Jones, so I don't really have a strong grasp on the things he talks about.

2021-02-23 14:31:36 UTC  

4d fairies.. interesting xD

2021-02-23 14:32:01 UTC  

I don't judge him, I just don't know enough about him.
