That's messed up? I was one of the ones who criticized him when this was originally posted, but that's wild to hear that people were this harsh.

I just read the post, and I don't see what's worth criticizing there? Sounds like he's suffering from depression and isolation, and navel-gazing on his situation in life. Has the post been edited or something? I'll admit, I am super tired while reading this, so maybe I skimmed over some troublesome metaphor that I would have caught if I had been more alert.

I am asking seriously; what did you criticize?

I mean, I'm using the very broadest definition of criticize, I don't think I said anything out of line.

It seems like he got messages of support from those groups who thought he was one of them, rather than people attacking him because they thought he was one of them.

Yeah it seems like what upset him is those people who think he, like them, has seen some truth in the fakeness/shallowness of other humans or society or something
