Yes and no. Those are Buugeng (buugong?) An ancient style of bo-staff that was used in combat as well as dances. Basically the idea behind them was that they’re effectively unblockable. By the time your mind has processed where the blade/shaft was, it was already cutting you in half.

it is actually very common for people to say “there are no innocents on the side of my enemy.” against such an opponent you can theoretically justify anything
a lot of people are very enthusiastic about violence towards “acceptable” targets, and will expand the list of acceptable targets in order to satisfy this desire.

God, I can't tell you how much the "there's not enough enrichment in my enclosure" joke has helped my mental health. Because, for some reason I can't comprehend, pretending that I'm a zoo keeper caring for an animal (which is also me) just makes everything easier to comprehend. Like "Your head gets screwey when you're apartment is messy" just doesn't carry as much resonance as "The tiger becomes agitated when its enclosure is cluttered" because then I'll be like, no shit? The tiger? I've gotta keep things nice and clean for the tiger.

I thought it'd be fun to host, and participate, in an event this year! I know it seems too early to announce it, but I wanted to do it early enough so everyone can have time to get the creative juices flowing if they want to participate!
It's funny. I was sort of hoping we'd have a chance to talk, and now… here we are. Locked in.
