Anybody else thought 1984 was hot when they first read it?

The idea of being the one doing the boot stamping down on the face of humanity for all eternity is cool to the malebrained helpless child twisted by early dysphoria into constant thoughts of impotent rage and lust for violence

@risperdoll @FiringSquadsEnjoyer I first read it at eleven and my only emotions were horror and intrigue at the book within the book

@risperdoll @FiringSquadsEnjoyer any sadistic malebrained girlies willing to be brainwashed into loving and affirming life by a weird "cis" woman I swear its not a sex thing

Hot not as in like sexually, but in a broader sense, that it feels almost like a perversion for violence. It's enticing in a way that feels akin to lust but on parallel train tracks to it, never touching, i just don't know the word for a fixation that latches onto the mind like a fetish that inserts itself into your other thoughts of the world but is never sexual. Raw nationalism untethered from ideology, ancient ruins, trees and fires create the same sort of feeling.

@FiringSquadsEnjoyer idk I just enjoyed the idea of mindbreaking people until they loved Big Brother. Or Empress Nyx. I'm not picky I just want to crush peoples' souls until they crack XD

@georgia ive been salving my soul for years to get past it, but yes i think most tranners are kind of fucked up as kids and some also sort of overcompensate trying to prove their masculinity to the boys around them. I think the easiest way out of it is maybe starting to get obsessed with pain instead.
