Is there a way to subscribe to these things at posting time? I tend to think of these posts at random and go "Did someone reply to me?"<br /><br />Yes, I'll do whatever is in my power to keep him safe and healthy. I think we're all just kinda relying on each other for that at the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-68378157622757335442011-03-07T19:02:27.465-05:002011-03-07T19:02:27.465-05:00Now THAT is a good philosophy.

When you work with the mundane you can shoot a gun and it doesn't matter why the person is being shot at, the bullet will still penetrate skin. When working with extraordinary, one must tailor the attack a bit more personally or take the risk of some very painful backfire.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092157612698714878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-71499181896674572722011-03-07T12:15:41.268-05:002011-03-07T12:15:41.268-05:00I don't know if I'd call it evil.

That doesn't matter. What matters is that he doesn't belong here. He never should've left...wherever he came from. Even his EXISTANCE here is destructive.<br /><br />I don't know if he's evil, since in his world this may be simple survival, but it doesn't seem like a stretch. I DO know we need to get rid of him, no matter what the answer is.bravethestormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894889208956976808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-49549602507682327222011-03-06T16:24:35.325-05:002011-03-06T16:24:35.325-05:00Well, that's just it: I don't think a seri...Well, that's just it: I don't think a serial killer hunting college students is evil either. But I admit that I tend to think in more meta, abstract terms than most people, so for the purposes of your question, I suppose I would have to say yes, by those definitions, I would call Slendy "evil".Hakurei Ryuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806680039667637538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-5922238726175773552011-03-06T16:14:42.236-05:002011-03-06T16:14:42.236-05:00I think you're right by the way.

Although, I would suggest barred 1st floor windows and a stungun/taser if I were you. Should help against proxies too.<br /><br />As per the creature? It hunts children, it infects people and twists them, it's presence inspires terror, and it's a snappy dresser. Combine these things and you've got an IRS agent on crack, or this creature. Never shall those two things meet. If they were ever in the same room as each other, the world would end.AmalgamationSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872769253218948198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-71204612361364722332011-03-06T16:04:27.033-05:002011-03-06T16:04:27.033-05:00@Hakurei But wouldn't certain kinds of predato...@Hakurei But wouldn't certain kinds of predators be a force of nature as well? A lion stalking a gazelle isn't evil, but a serial killer hunting a college student would be. Do we fear it because it causes us to fear or is it just the natural reaction of prey to predator? <br /><br />@Stumblr No don't apologize, this line of thinking is exactly what I need. And trust me, by trying to figure out more about its nature I am going to be trying to work on a way to stop it. No idea how successful I'll be, but the more exact I can pinpoint things, in theory the higher my success rate will be.<br /><br />And...keep an eye him for me, will you?

If it's sapient and understands that we are too, then yes, evil is a more or less fitting word.<br /><br />However, if it is as unintelligent as any other animal, just killing and stalking it's prey out of instinct, it's closer to a hurricane: destructive, disruptive, and powerful, but not evil.<br /><br />Either way, we have to figure out how to stop it. We have a duty to protect ourselves and our species. Self-preservation and the need to continue as a whole and all that.<br /><br />Sorry for posing more questions than answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413516219409327245.post-2457752264964860962011-03-06T15:48:21.095-05:002011-03-06T15:48:21.095-05:00Hoo boy, what a question.

I'm taking a class on the definition of "evil" at the moment, and it's my current opinion that "evil" as we think of it doesn't actually exist.<br /><br />However, there is no mistaking the air of malevolence about it, or the absolute fear that falls upon you when you see it. Whatever it is, it's evil from our perspective, because what it wants will do nothing but destroy.<br /><br />I don't think of it as a force of nature. I think its <i>effects</i> on us might be a force, but not It itself. Mostly I think of it as a predator, just like we humans are predators to deer and whatnot - and with about the same level of difference in our thought processes.Hakurei Ryuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806680039667637538noreply@blogger.com
