>think about how all #metoo mini-essays read so similar to the point where they could have been written by the same person
Ok but I'm literally telling you I ran a genre analysis on them and found that there weren't patterns in the rhetorical moves. I used syllable count as a baseline, but it ended up showing more than I thought it would.

>I’m worried that I can relate to him in terms of feeling like a perpetual misfit, and being relatively late when it comes to adapting to norms.
Look, as someone that literally studied them, a very particular way of thinking emerges. It's as I said >>15711032 the people that do these sorts of crimes, feel very inferior in the world. They then try to correct that with something, that in their mind, would logically work. When it doesn't it reinforces that inferiority, until you have someone that feels inferior inside, and superior outside, and those two mentalities end up working in opposition to one another. It breeds a very particular cycle of self loathing.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't at least in part driven by a desire to know what makes them different; could anyone do something like this? But the answer is, that it's unlikely. The people that do these things have a particular way of thinking that depends on a level of detachment from reality.
