In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, glitching out of buildings leaves Mario wandering around a dark room where no models or sprites are loaded, but objects can still be interacted with. When Mario talks to invisible characters, it can sometimes look as though the speech bubble is coming from Mario.
When I was sixteen, my family visited Hawaii, and I had a cute new swimsuit. I was a pretty busty teen, with the vocabulary of an AP English student, and while I was out swimming, a couple of college guys started flirting with me. Nothing gross, just pleasantly casual hey-you-look-great-how-are-you-enjoying-the-beach stuff.
After a minute or two of this, one of them asked if I was there with friends, and I said no, I was with my family. “Wow, you still travel with your family?” one exclaimed. “That’s cool…”
“Well, I am sixteen,” sez me.
Reader, they blanched. They flustered, they apologized, they assured me that they’d thought I was also in college, they wished me a good vacation and they bounced. All within about a minute of realizing they’d been chatting up a minor.
I was mildly mortified at the time, but now? I look back and think, Ah, what good men. What good young men.
If literally any other terrorist group had infiltrated law enforcement like this there would be a full on manhunt going on to hunt down every single one and both remove them from their job and then put them in jail.
But since white supremacists and neo-nazis only kill people who aren’t straight cis and white christians, apparently no one in power can be bothered ._.
