Listen. It is your right to be a little freak. The loss of eccentricity due to the values of late stage capitalism is a fucking bane to all levels of existence, and to do your duty to yourself, and all future generations of the earth, you need to be a little freak. In our current society, through many many ways across many many demographics, they try to trap you with little freak licensure. This can be in the form of accommodations, as one example, and all other manner of "oh they have X, I guess we'll allow this person their right to be a little freak." Fuck that. Fucking infiltrate the system cosplaying the most societally accepted version of yourself, then fucking let your weirdo tendencies shine as soon as you are able, especially if they can't get rid of you. We can't afford the loss of eccentrics and weirdos and strange characters and we're seeing this loss so heavily across our world, within the workforce, being one example today. Think of how many artists are so eccentric, but were replaced by people palatable to the system. Think of how many innovations have come from the little freaks of the world. Think how much better your life is when you don't have to censor your quirks and things that make you a fucking person. Don't let respectability politics lure you into the trap of getting a "cushy" freak license, the people in this world who expect the licensure to be a freak would prefer your death to your continued accommodation if they could choose. No matter how much you play up the idea that you're not as much of a freak as the rest of the people similar to you, they will still berate you and leave you for dead once they've killed us off.
