Validation by proxy

To feel better about oneself by viewing oneself not as an individual but as part of a larger group. In this state, one need not accomplish anything oneself but can take great pride in the accomplishments of others as though they are personal accomplishments because the group is viewed a personal extension.

Ergo Proxy

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

abuse by proxy

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!

prof. Ege

A chad often dropping statements like „hello, can you hear me?“ or „are you finished?“. With his Tesla and his common, just-mentioned phrases, he’s extremely successful when it comes to women. He also has insane drip, a fire accent and an insane style. In his free time he likes to Lay-out databases using his favourite program called access, which is another trait that makes him really special, as he’s the only person able to actually have fun using access. From time to time he also draws random gibberish using his second most-liked program called „dia“.
Have you seen that prof. Ege over there? He’s fire!
