An amazing anime based off of Renee Descartes quote "cogito ergo sum" Translated it means "Because I think, therefore I am". It has an amazing storyline, intrigueing characters, and an awing visual experiance. It also makes refeences to philosphy and famous art pieces (Michaelangelo's moon and sun statues and the painting Ophelia). This anime banishes the common phrase "anime is only for children" and even more common "anime is only for perverts" If you like adult, inteligent anime, or just good TV. Watch Ergo Proxy.
Characters of Ergo Proxy: Real Mayar {also Re-L depending on translation (Lil is a fansub mistake)} a detective who while solving several mysterius murders comes across a horrific creature called a proxy
Vincent Law: Protagonist, is suspected by the goverment of the city
Pino: a auto lave (robot) that gets infected with the cogito virus, a virus that causes auto lave's to develop feelings and human personalities

If all else fails, the abuser recruits friends, colleagues, mates, family members, the authorities, institutions, neighbours, the media, teachers – in short, third parties – to do his bidding. He uses them to cajole, coerce, threaten, stalk, offer, retreat, tempt, convince, harass, communicate and otherwise manipulate his target. He controls these unaware instruments exactly as he plans to control his ultimate prey. He employs the same mechanisms and devices. And he dumps his props unceremoniously when the job is done.

One form of control by proxy is to engineer situations in which abuse is inflicted upon another person. Such carefully crafted scenarios of embarrassment and humiliation provoke social sanctions (condemnation, opprobrium, or even physical punishment) against the victim. Society, or a social group become the instruments of the abuser.
- He keeps sending his friends over to ask for stuff he left behind after he had moved out!

- Abuse by proxy, if you ask me!

"Trannyhausen-by-Proxy," a play on Munchausen-by-Proxy, is the term for a parent (or parents) who has gender-confusion issues of their own or an emotional agenda of their own, and works those issues/agenda out on the body of a child by involving the child in trans activities to the child's detriment; disclaiming their own emotional involvement, but maintaining falsely that "The interest in being trans is coming from the child." The commonest pattern is a mother obtaining narcissistic gratification by parading her son around in a dress, while the father stands by helplessly as his son is rail-roaded into a permanent trans identity. The term arose in late 2020 as a response to the narratives presented in HBO's Transhood and the Save James case in Texas.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said “they” don’t castrate or mutilate minors, I’d have enough money to save all the children in the world. “They” do indeed harm children — ask Anne’s own expert witnesses!
It’s an unfortunate trend, mostly foisted upon young children by mothers. It’s so common as a matter of fact, there’s a term for parents who reject their child in favor of bringing attention to themself: Transhausen, or Trannyhausen, Syndrome by Proxy. (A play on Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy). Trannyhausen-by-Proxy, for short.
