The Usa Kou train wreck

[40cakes]

My two cents.

I'm not denying she's a crazy bitch. Holy cow, is she a nutter. But it certainly seems like she's a halfway smart nutter. After all, she knew to latch onto only those with no spines.

EDIT: For those of you who know not of the craziness yet, here are some links:

Wait... which one did I do? or do you mean them?

Good article, though. I've seen it before, but never got around to bookmarking it.

I think she means them. The idea that friends must unconditionally put up with each other, or omg they must not truly be friends!!!

Really though, I brought this up because I just read a post linked in missandrony's lj, where a girl who claimed to be raped by UK's former fiance said that UK "made her" abandon her mentally challenged friend in Otakon.

oops. Sorry for rambling. (See, I don't realize that posts are directed to a particular person, because I'm dumb, and ramble tangentially because the subject is interesting/scary... pay me no mind.)

No, you weren't rambling! Just bringing up what made me post in the first place, as I haven't really been in Sailor Moon fandom for years, and it came outta nowhere.

Although I don't share it, I can certainly see the mindset that it took place in. arafel made the point very nicely about how incredibly influential peer pressure can be. Considering the fact this girl tried to kill herself later in the evening, I'd say she was a pretty fucked up little girl.

I remember my Admin Behavior teacher talking about this study, and, assuming that UK had taken an authoritarian role, I could totally see how it happened.

I saw a video of that study in college. It only adds to it when you hear the actor "learner" screaming from the "shock treatment" in the background, and the teacher keeps right on doing as told.

Not sure how truthful that chick's story was. All in one night, she was allegedly raped and attempted suicide, but her biggest complaint seems to be "OMG Usagi Kou was a total bitch to me and made me abandon my friend at a con and we couldn't stop and get anything to eat or drink." And then when she found her "real friends" to stay with at the con, she doesn't seem to mention anyone, say, taking her to a hospital despite her having swallowed an entire bottle of aspirin after a forced sexual experience.

Like fadingembers said -- it's totally them, not you. Sorry I wasn't clear on that. :)
