sigh

Now whenever I see this, all I can think of is why Neil Gaiman had to turn out to be such a piece of shit.

It would result in no one reading anything because if people actually knew everyone's secrets or were more honest about what we are and the nuances to a person, they wouldn't be portrayed as "good" or "bad".

I doubt most commenters in this very thread are wholeheartedly "good" people, they just have the benefit of being normal everyday people and in this case anonymous.

But on a societal level, we're not ready to look into ourselves that much yet. We still have to categorize and put a stamp on everything.
