    That’s not true at all. I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and I care about others very deeply. And My actions reflect that. For example, recently I shut down a cult discord server run by a pedophile who’s dating kids from the cult. This is because I think adults dating kids is bad.



  • Actually, it was Nemesis, the god of divine punishment for hubris. Nemesis’ job is to punish any mortal who thinks they’re the equal of the gods. And in Greek society, asexuality and aromanticism were so villified that not dating anyone was equated with thinking you’re equal to the gods. It’s a nonsense stereotype kind of like the American/English stereotype that trans women are sexual predators.

    When Narcissus was born, an oracle warned his family “This boy will die if he sees his reflection”. But it’s unclear whether Narcissus falling in love with his reflection is a natural character trait, or something Nemesis cursed him with in addition to showing him the spring. It would have looked the same either way to the oracle. Either way, Nemesis knew she was killing Narcissus on purpose, just to answer the prayers of an incel who was mad he wouldn’t date them.

    Other fun facts: Narcissus was 16 when all of this happened. He was 16, and society already thought he owed other people his love or he should die.
