Billy Hargrove's death was selfless, which means he died for others. But it's still not enough.
Say he ended up surviving the Mind Flayer. Would anything he does ever be enough to please this fandom?
I think we all know the answer to that.
It's very telling that if Billy had survived a majority of people would rather him go through a bunch of mandatory trials to fill some quota that let's be honest would never really be filled than separate him from his abusers so he can heal in a safe environment.
You'd rather have an abuse victim dance on hot coals for forgiveness than punish his abusers.
What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity. -William S. Burroughs
I care too much, wanna share too much
In my head too much, I shut down too
I ain't there too much, I'm a complex soul
They layered me up, then broke me down
And moralities dust, I lack in trust
