"Take a look around the internet. The ditches into which all evil is eventually swept. People hide their faces and type away without a care, no self-awareness for how their words will be picked up by others, forming a chain.

Not even realizing their aggressiveness for what it is."-Fuminori Nakamura, My Annihilation
