Didn't see it posted here. Probably an idiot and missed it. What it says on the tin

"From the idea that the self is not given to us, I think there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art."

But like seriously, what the fuck is this?

I feel like I've stumbled my way through the "cool robot" gundam meme, but it's "haha edgy streamer and cool animation" and behind it I'm now fiending for my next episode of exploring the internal worlds of women living Foucault's ideas on aesthetics.

I've been over here starving, trying to find something of substance among impact frame slop, and the occasional oasis of good shit like ikkoku nikki, and y'all are over here talking about panopticons and transforming ones life into an original work of art using the metaphor of fucking tokusatsu????

These girls are over here carving new personalities out of imported marble and emotional damage?

They're out here making transcendental religious art pieces through their effervescent existence by illuminating the manuscripts of their scars?

They're changing the social narrative by posing with a smile, and holding mirror and a loaded gun to their head?

They're building a church for the socially noncompliant to undergo ego reconstruction through the act of putting their pain into a reliquary of ornamental suffering?

We're defying the crushing nature of society by allowing ourselves to feel and be felt by the mere existence of other beings and treating it as holy?

What the fuck.

Sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
