   Hungry Little Monsters
This is kinda a spin off from several of my pervious post it may come across as a little more confusing then normal, but for once not because I’m totally incoherent but just because I’m too lazy to add all the links.

In my last post I talked about the Kira Stand Alone Complex and in pervious posts I’ve talked about different ideas to do with the Death Note manga. So I couldn’t help but laugh (yes I laughed. Want to know why? Read on) when I read the news bulletin about ‘Death Note Down Under.’
Once again I went against my better judgement and went around the forums to see what people’s opinion of this was. It’s safe to say that I’m the type of person that takes self-destructive nature to a whole new level (psychological masochist). It all really played out just as I thought, as irritating as that was.
You have the people taking this serious to the extent were by they were disgusted by anyone that laughed at this, saying the consequences of what would have happened if these threats had been carried out made the idea of laughing at this appalling.
But suppose for a moment this was as I’ve suggested before a grab at attention and validation of their existence. The book is always found with the person receiving worldwide media coverage and recognition. Which is exactly what they wanted. People fear them, they are now a threat themselves, no longer bullied and pushed around they have achieved their superiority. So why would they even consider carrying it out they get the same results without having let their little monster lose to mess society up.

Then you have those people that are saying that it’s the otaku’s entire fault for letting this take over their reality and they are tarnishing the manga, it’s creator and fans. FOR ****’S SAKE! How simple minded are you? It’s not just the otaku’s fault, I’ve said it before, why is it that only the person who creates the Death Note responsible, honestly the people who react to this and create the mass hysteria are in the exact same boat they are the ones that believe this Death Note will kill them. So why is it that they are the victims? Why aren’t they just as delusional as the person writing the names down because they are equally encouraging and increasing the attention to the whole incident?

A while ago I posted the foreword for JTHM and in it Rob Schard talked about how we all have a little monster living inside us that needs to be fed and the way to feed that little monster is to act out violence in our mind because that way it will stay happily inside us rather then getting lose and feeding itself on people.
So with the exception of the murder in Belgium what if we consider this the way that these people are feeding their little monsters? What’s to say that they are actually going to act out these little scenarios? Isn’t it just a combination of the media and paranoid people blowing this all out of proportion?
Why is it one thing for someone to act out these murderous deeds in their mind but another thing when they write it down on paper?
Most would say that’s because it’s the first step to the little monster entering reality. The little monster is no longer satisfied with living out these acts of murder in the mind, it’s a part of a pattern. They may no longer be able to control their little monster. As time goes by it will need more to be satisfied until the only way for it to go back in it’s cage is to perform the act on a living being outside the mind.
But if that’s the case then why isn’t the media swarming famous horror directors?
I mentioned this in a previous post about horror films becoming more graphic and realistic and that the same fan’s that use to laugh at the absurdity of horror films 20 years ago are now walking out sickened with themselves. It’s all too real. But honestly have you ever seen an article questioning the directors or writers mental stability or suggesting sociopathic tendencies? No, so why is some one writing out a Death Note, but not actually acting it out any different? Why are they now the enemy, the mentally unstable sociopath that is just a match strike away from a full on explosion of absolute bloodshed?
We’re being told that it’s acceptable for artist’s to publicly feed their little monster’s but not for anyone else. Just imagine a famous artist created an exact replica of a Death Note and putting it in a gallery with the names of politicians listed in it, how many people would argue that was art? Or just laugh it off, maybe even cheer?

Ok now this is were we enter the part of the ultimate conspiracy, you thought that the suggestion that the moon walk was filmed in a studio in Nevada was outrageous well that is nothing compared to what I’m about to suggest to you here.

I was watching an episode of ‘NCIS’ the other night *gasp* OMG I actually watch commercial TV. I’ve become hooked on ‘NCIS’ and ‘Criminal Minds’ but ironically I learnt the hard way that I can’t watch either one of these shows alone. As it ends up with me walking around the empty house with a baseball bat and dog by my side checking every room freaked out I’m was going to be killed in my sleep.
Anyway in this episode there was a serial killer directly challenging Gibb’s and he was described as a narcissist, his obsession with creating a game to display his superiority to the law enforcers was what they considered his purpose. It reminded me a lot of Beyond Birthday, he directly challenged them for a proof of existence. But in the end they denied him of it all, they never released his identity to the media and he never received the recognition that he craved.
Just like in the Death Note novel it’s only possible for this to happen on a TV show or book. There is no way that there wouldn’t be some kind of leak or that speculations about the suspect wouldn’t be ramped on the Internet. Ultimately they will always get the recognition they crave, because the media is present.

Like I’ve been saying not just here but in other posts. Violence is the one act that will always gain recognition or in the case of the media sales and rating. So why is this? Right prepare to enter the ultimate conspiracy.

Purely for entertainments sake I suggested in my last post the idea that the baby boomers will be replaced as the major sector of the population by a mass of vidual anti’s that will play out the role of a proxy god a mass Kira. And why not? Honestly we all know the judicial system is just a facade controlled by money and politics in order to stop totally anarchy rising and give to a false sense of security.
Which bring forward my idea that society through the use of the media is really raising the ultimate serial killer? (Absurd enough statement?) Or in the words of the #1 (Afro Samurai Series) ‘it’s time for man to become god’.

Inspired by Ryuji from ‘Spiral’ I’ve talked many times about how humans have a subconscious desire for extinction because they are the top of the food chain. But there is another obvious desire present, the desire to become gods.
Lets take the media’s desire to tell people ‘THE TRUTH’ and split it into two possible reasoning’s innocence and narcism.
Humans are stupid enough to believe all the crap they are fed because realistically they are no different to pigs they just eat up what is put in front of them, they don’t think. Just like the pigs being fattened for slaughter they are being conditioned, raised to defy the gods to become a proxy god themselves.
To achieve this there are those influenced by innocence, these people desire to seek the truth like the ‘Laughing Man’ in GITS SAC they want to inform people of the fake judicial system in hope that the judicial system will work to change itself to support the people it is suppose to protect. A truly naive notion.

Where as the narcissists fraction have preconceived expectation they play the part of a puppet master like Kira and the way that his supporters are easily manipulated. Light chose Mirakami to carry out the murders in his place because he shared his ideals.
This faction of the media appeals to the basic instincts by giving recognition to people who perform horrific acts of violence. They portray the judicial system as incompetent, the villains and encourage people to create their own form of justice. They give people the impression that they are backed into a corner, knowing that like a cornered mouse they will attack, creating their own form of justice. People go out and buy a gun to protect their family’s, they have no faith in the police. It’s all one big elaborate play, the media gives people this idea that this is the only way to keep safe while at that same time removing just one more threat from the world.
This is all amplified with the addition of serial killers, you see it time and time again just like the battle between Light and L its an act of superiority. Serial killers leave notes taunting the police challenging them and making the public fear them. They want recognition of their superiority and the media plays this up, giving them what they want while at the same time further under mining the peoples view’s of judicial system.

So it appears to them that in the end there’s no one left to protect them, there is no god to answer their prayers, the people who supposedly have the power wont help so the only way to defy the laws of nature and break free from the acts of survival of the fittest is for the weak to mass as a proxy god.
