Hym "It isn't a victim vs victimizer narrative. That is clearly not what's happening here. It's NARRATIVE vs WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It's not even epistemology vs ontology anymore. It's Jordan Peterson's imaginary interpretation of events vs the things that actually happened in reality."

Hym "The Victim/Victimizer Narrative is the fuel that drives the conservative media infrastructure. 'We are the perpetual victims of censorship and are fighting that explicitly' but IN REALITY the EXACT OPPOSITE is the case. There is no coalition trying to silence them. They are the coalition. I'm the one being silenced. It isn't misinformation. It's a complete inversion of what is actually happening + current events. And the democrats AND THE PROGRESSIVE MEDIA... Are absolute garbage for allowing them to do it. All your bloviating about hate is meaningless when you're citizens are BURNING ALIVE AND DYING PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS. I don't have to like any of you cocksuckers for any reason. And my situation is extreme and requires an extreme voice. This is and always has been absolutely necessary. The reason you will not face me is and always has been that when I articulate what has been happening to me it sounds like a psyop and if it has been signed off on by government officials their careers are over forever. I'm working at a gas station so Tulsi Gabbard doesn't have to. And I'm not going to let you get away with it. Trump was tight about the media being the enemy of the people it just also applies to the online media as well."

A psychological condition where someone compulsively interprets their life through the lens of literary tropes and storytelling conventions, combined with an obsessive need to fill any gaps in their understanding with elaborate theories that fit these narrative patterns. Common symptoms include categorizing people as character archetypes, expecting plot twists, and creating complex explanations for simple events to avoid "plot holes" in their personal story.
1. "Dude, my roommate has such bad Narrative Framework Syndrome. When our neighbor got a new cat, he spent three hours explaining how it must be a magical familiar sent to watch us because 'that's how these story arcs usually start.'"
2. "My sister's NFS is acting up again. She's convinced her new coworker must be a secret heir to a fortune because 'why else would such an important character be introduced this late in the season?'"

Ron: "The part about the protagonist's goldfish was total narrative deadweight, but it did give us a great fish funeral scene."
