Hate when people say this. The monster does horrible things to innocent people, whereas Victor doesn't really do anything out of malice. And everyone always talks about what a fine gentleman Victor is every time they mention him.

It's a book with multiple interpretations, like any halfway-good bit of art. Only absolute schlock has moral clarity.
The monster obviously isn't the good guy, as he strangles children.
The baizou thing of "the monster was good" makes no sense. Take any other murderous incel or child-killer and apply the same. Most people who do heinous murders didn't have easy lives prior to that; it's not a justification.
But the monster gets to give his side of the story a lot, in long monologues. I feel some people took them monologues too literally, said, "This is the message of the book", and I took it as the distorted ravings of monstrous psychology, with his subjective validity.
It's almost exactly what we call an 'incel'

Invidious instances work less than 10% of the time, and it's annoying to keep hopping instances to get on to work
Now ghostarchive.org seems to be blocked too?? I submit something and it stays 'archiving' for a very long time, seemingly indefinitely.

Is there a publishing house or social media site (Weibo account?) that I can follow to get the latest Chinese political thought?
Can't people just pirate the games and bypass all this bullshit?
(genuine question asked out of ignorance; I know nothing about games)
They all say this.
Who are they trying to impress? AIPAC?
It's far more preferable to the ruling class for the Republicans to win one.
