So I was reminded of that girl who did the whole "why is Bob following me?" thing. I decided to see if there was any follow-up.
Some fun quote tweets.

And now Bob defends himself.

And now Bob defends himself.

As I've said before, Bob has probably done more to convince me of my faith than most preachers I've heard. For example, when I was listening to this podcast by these orthodox priests and they were talking about "monsters" in the Bible, I couldn't help but think of Bob during their conclusions:I've sperged in the past about Philip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and how for Dick the "androids" were a metaphor for people who lacked empathy and had extremely self-centered and pathological personalities - @glib and I had a small exchange on this thread comparing said androids to Bob and other "Consoomer" types that populate social media.
I don't know how much of all this is said writers correctly predicting and warning about the rise of Bob-like personalities in the future, and how much of it is that the modern convergence of social media and mass entertainment has allowed for such personalities to both emerge and have a very loud voice.
And you see this even in what we talked about tonight. Werewolfism doesn’t start with that; werewolfism ends with that. Werewolfism starts with being greedy and gluttonous, with always wanting more, with being ravenous, with wanting to devour, and devouring other people metaphorically, a long time before you get to literally. But those aren’t two different things; those are on a continuum. Those are on a continuum.
Now I'm on this board just to watch Bob sell more and more of his humanity each day. He is scarcely more than beast now indeed.And so we need to take every choice we make and how we live and what we do and what we pursue very seriously. There isn’t neutral. There isn’t: well, I didn’t do anything all that significant either way. All of these things are on one continuum or the other. All of these things are leading us closer to Christ and becoming more human and more like God, or they’re leading us in the opposite direction, to become less human and more bestial and more of a monster.
