He doesn’t just show the decline in wars and violence within society; he spends many pages or even entire chapters showing the decline of things like torture, animal abuse, domestic abuse, hate crimes, even spanking children. The problem is, while it may actually make some kind of sense at the end, it certainly doesn’t seem in any way fulfilling.

He wrote book, lyrics, and music for the a cappella sci-fi musical SILHOUETTE, which won the 2018 Gregory Falls Award for Outstanding New Play, presented by Theatre Puget Sound. i get that the book is talking about body dysmorphia, but as an actual fat person, saying that people who eat that much and that 'fat' is size ten is ridiculous and aggravating and damaging to people who actually have dysmorphia who are reading this book.However, a reader who is a size 18 or a size 20 might (I'm saying 'might' because I don't know, but it just seems like a possibility) just see a personal attack to their size and it might make them feel uncomfortable and unhappy, and that's not the point of reading - even if you're reading something harrowing and heart-wrenching.
