if it wasn't already pretty obvious by the platform I'm posting on and the way I decorate my profile, I'm a minor (under the age of 18). that's not a lot of life experience. while I've been on scratch for quite awhile on some other accounts, I haven't seen everything. I don't keep track of everything I see, either. I'm more active in some parts of the community than others, which makes me biased in a subtle way. I often put my friends above strangers I don't know. I don't always write everything perfectly, and not all of my beliefs and statements are 100% correct. so don't believe everything I say. all you know about me is that I exist. you don't know my gender, my age, anything I'm interested in or spend time doing. so why do you trust me so much? I want to warn you against blindly believing anything you hear online. including from me. which means you don't have to believe this project, either. I could be some kind of evil internet weirdo, slowly leading you into a trap. (I'm not, but you don't have to believe that.) I could really be anyone. so take everything I say with a grain of salt. read my projects and formulate your own opinion based off of them. think things through for yourself, and form your own opinions. I say I'm trying to spread a message, but I'm really trying to bring up topics for debate, to raise awareness. I don't mind if you disagree with me. In fact, I want you to disagree with me. I want you to think for yourself. so in conclusion: don't think that me, or another ranting account, saying something makes it right. decide for yourself what's right or wrong.
