Yeah, there's certainly a lot of pity in with the cringe and the revulsion, but to varying degrees. Many of the people who get ensnared in it are just young, dumb, angry, awkward kids. As someone who was all of those things to varying degrees during my adolescence, it's not hard for me to understand how they ended up in that place. And yes, I feel sorry for them. I also hope they figure themselves out before they leave the online forums and start hurting actual people though. Because in addition to misguided edgy youths, TRP also has a healthy chunk of full on serial rapists. Who advocate rape tactics to the aforementioned youths. And I have feelings about them too, but pity is not predominant among them.
