YESS I AGREE WITH THIS SO MUCHH TO BE AWARE IS TO PREVENT THEM

On The Eltingville Club and Morality

I got a straw asking how I can sympathize with The Eltingville Club cast, even though they're "bad people," which I don't feel like posting, but I will explain it.

To me, the tragedy of The Eltingville Club is the fact that they were all just normal kids at one point, and I think interpreting the characters as being ontologically evil and deserving of death takes a lot away from the themeing.

The characters weren't born the way they are. Evan Dorkin has stated this, and it's been shown in the comics as well.

In order to hold someone accountable for their actions, you also have to acknowledge that it's not their default nature to do wrong, and therefore doing wrong is a choice on their part, else it would be like condemning a lion for killing a zebra.

It's important that the characters are humanized, because otherwise, they would have just remained strawmen for people Evan Dorkin doesn't really like and thus not really even characters. It would be about as meaningful as a wojak.

Dorkin has stated that the characters are based off of people he knows and partially off himself, especially Bill, who many people interpret as "the worst one." In a way, the author is almost like a reflection of the person Bill could be if he locked in.

The characters are human, and that's important because it means anyone can become a Bill, or Josh, or Pete, but they can also be a Jerry. To believe you are simply above ever being "like The Eltingville Club" will just expedite your Eltingvillification.

When people draw the characters experiencing trauma or falling in love or doing silly things, it's likely not necessarily to excuse their bad actions, but because they're humans and humans do those things. Evil doesn't look like in cartoons, evil comes from conscious choices

Evil is inspired by neglect, abuse, prejudice, social and economic pressures, etc. Those things aren't meant to excuse the evil, but to be aware of them is to prevent them.

"People like them are bad and they should die."

While I understand this sentiment, I don't always agree. As a victim of abuse, I don't want my abuser to die. I want them to become a better person and make up for what they did, contribute to the world in some way. That doesn't mean I'd forgive them and let them back into my life. But what incentive does anyone have to change and reflect if they believe badness is a state of being rather than a choice?

Welp. Google's AI horseshit has arrived. And I'm not complying. They can pry my ID out of my cold dead hands. I will simply go elsewhere. Remember folks, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR IDs. Do not comply. Resist, fight it, use other browsers or sources beyond youtube and google controlled services. Call them. Email them. Make noise. Fight back.

everytime i would roleplay anything eltingville i would have to pull up a random comic wiki because i think trying to write for them as close to the comics require some unnecessary overly circle-jerky reference to nerd shit and each time i do i would be inbetween calling myself a fake nerd and also shoving said boy i know into a locker from how mad i get. Btw i can fix bill send tweet

[scolopendrome]

I actually love how each of the cast’s passion is directly linked to their character, like how Bill is an entitled prick, so of course he must like comics! It requires an almost impossible amount of resources and time to know them on a deeper level, let alone get every little fact right like him, especially if don’t you get into them really early in life. Or how Pete is the poorest of the bunch, so he’s into horror movies and literature, since they don’t require to be collected or mass bought, or even tiny stuff like Josh’s figure, and how it goes beyond fat jokes but it also reflects his issues with overconsumption (especially junk food toys). I don’t have much more to say about Jerry, maybe that the fantasy community is actually really welcoming and less hostile than all the others, and it doesn’t revolve around discourse as much, so it’s totally reasonable that he ended up the least toxic of them all.
