Taking extreme solace in fictional characters is primarily a coping mechanism used by people who experience stress related to real-life relationships; examples include going through a traumatic break-up, or feelings of hopelessness and failure when it comes to establishing real-life relationships. Some people who partake in this practice identify as "fictosexual," and claim it to be a legitimate sexual orientation. They often try to gain acceptance within the LGBT community, usually to little avail.
Although fictosexuality is not an actual sexual orientation, that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Scratch.mit.edu is a visual, block-based coding website for children created by a group of people from MIT.
The coding aspect is well made, however, projects only have a maximum file size of 5 MB and any sprite with over 1000 blocks in it breaks your computer unless you have an RTX 3090.
Everything else about Scratch is shit.
Pretty much anything that could be taken as even slightly offensive or mean gets you banned, muted, etcetera. I once called someone out for copying a comment for attention and I got muted for "spreading gossip."
And since the demographic of Scratch is 8-16, there are mostly only dumb children on the site that can hardly snap two code blocks together.
All in all, don't use Scratch for more than a few months.

Person: "I just got banned on scratch.mit.edu for saying 'WTH'"
Scratch user 1: "Serves you right, you toxic degenerate!"
Scratch user 2: "Yet another Scratcher has been banned for a nonsensical reason. This is growing to become an epidemic on Scratch. We need to tell MIT that saying these types of words is not a bad thing. Copy and paste this message to spread the word. #savescratch"
*237 people copy and paste the above message on any and every project they could find*
Person: Hey I got unbanned

What is classified as "progressive" varies between cultures, but the gist of what it encompasses is a desire to "progress" society; i.e., to create a society that is based on the detachment from traditional norms and practices. Examples of ideas that are considered "progressive" are:
- Expansive LGBTQ rights
- Protecting minorities from discrimination
- Tolerance of atypical gender expression
- Miscellaneous left-wing ideas such as progressive taxation

"Progressivism is the scourge of society; it seeks to tear out the foundations of our communities that have kept us satiated for centuries. It's like uprooting a plant from its pot and replacing the soil with rocks. It promotes degeneracy in all corners of the public: the streets, the businesses, the bathrooms, and even the schools. It can only cause collapse."
"Being progressive may be the only measure we have to combat the waves of hatred that constantly plagues our society. Some may feel a sense of bitter nostalgia recalling the "good ol' days" when everything was simpler, but they need to be reminded that very few were treated equally or with proper respect and compassion during those times. We need to ensure a society that guarantees safety for not only oppressed individuals, but for all people."
