if im a bad influence on somebody else, i think that's a good thing
whoever im influencing already wants to be how i am, but doesnt know it yet, and when they become conscious it they will unlock a truer part of themself. if i hold myself back for someone else, then what is that teaching anyone who might look up to me? (poor choice as it is to do so)
a while ago someone told me that i needed to stop swearing around people much younger than me, and i refused to do so. young people need to figure out the social structure of when they can swear, because we do in fact live in a society. some 8yo says fuck, and it just sounds stupid. it sounds like brainrot, because they don't understand what they're saying, or care. its just a shock word, like making a 9/11 joke. i dont have anything against shock, in the way of comedy, but it needs to be intentional, not just thrown about. irony is kind of bullshit but it can be funny sometimes too so who cares. what is and isn't funny is entirely subjective at the end of the day, so be as funny as you can or else ill put candle wax on ur eyes.
hot pockets are yummers. im going to go get some in just a minute, after im done with this.
oftentimes, "bad influences" are just social norms that're being broken. language, how one dresses, how one acts, sexuality. be evil please!!!! can we please destroy that straight shit. be a fuckin queer supervillain and upset mad people.
tl;dr: be a bad person around impressionable people.
email me if my take is trash, i'm willing to converse
