What did you do with my RWHN?

[Doktor Howl]

Does the article glamorize him? or is it the image itself which is dangerous?

Everything, EVERYTHING, is too dangerous for people to be trusted with.

Just watch, you'll see what I mean.

[AFK]

Maybe it's just to move units, RWHN.

Maybe it's also a chance to stop and think about this shit and why it happens.

Sure, think all you want in the article.  But why put the fuzzy selfie on the cover?  To stir it up and move units.

[Doktor Howl]

What's dangerous, though, seriously?

When I was a teenager, I lived in some rich-ass town by the name of Naperville, Illinois.  It was just becoming rich, and it still had this tiny little paper called the Naperville Sun, which only showed happy shiny things.

Then we had a murder/suicide.  Very nasty, very tragic.

The front page of the paper?  A little girl feeding a duck, down at the riverwalk.  Because only NICE and SAFE things happened in Naperville, you see.  So we obviously can't show a NORMAL LOOKING KID who turned into a monster, because that's not NICE or SAFE.

ETA:  Naw, ducks move units.

there are only like 3-million people in the 18-24 range that will even see the magazine, except this will probably get a lot more attention because we're making it taboo


I think it's good to get these things to the foreground. Magazine covers never killed anybody.

I just think it is in very poor taste given the horror that people have gone through and continue to go through.  I'm glad to see some places like CVS, Walgreens, and Shaw's are refusing to carry this edition.

[Doktor Howl]

So tell me, RWHN...What's your solution to this outrage?

maybe to get people to think about "monsters" and why othering them does no good?

Certainly.  The people themselves can't be allowed to decide.

NO NO NO!

Monsters are MONSTERS!  They aren't and weren't PEOPLE!  They were BORN MONSTERS, and they should ONLY be shown that way!  Fangs and drool and hunched backs, muhaha-ing their way to the next atrocity.

[Doktor Howl]

Because examining how they got that way might make people uneasy.

In RWHN's world, kids can't think for themselves.

So journalism must be outlawed, to protect them.

I haven't said anything about outlawing it.  They have every right to publish piles of horseshit.  I just think it's really poor taste and pretty fucking insensitive, and is clearly milking the cash cow of controversy.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Today's rolling stone is next weeks kitty litter liner.

[AFK]

So tell me, RWHN...What's your solution to this outrage?

There is nothing to solve really.  It's coming out.  I'm here just calling the pile of shit for what it is.  More places refusing to carry it will be cool too.

Of course.  As I said, we can't let the people themselves decide, if there's potential irresponsibility being published, eh?

Because people, as you've already said, can't do their thinking for themselves.

They can choose to go find a store that does carry it.
