Fucking gay

Why is everything for fucking faggots now? God damnit man, I'm sick of every single thing that's popular or considered good by the mainstream being some gay retard bullshit like this, why does everything have to be "transgressive" or "edgy." Why not just make a good, normal thing that's high quality.

an example of why it took a billion years to translate it. so steeped in nuance of its original language that the possibility of loss of meaning in translation approaches 1... but it likely doesn't matter anyway because it's fucking nonsense.
