I figured, oh well it seems like a lot of people talk about it so I started getting a bit into it and read the main story, but DAMN that was a mistake because now I feel very empty and I want a plant alien to take care of me.

Had half a mental breakdown about it yesterday.

Welcome meow mrrp

Should I read it meow?

Can you link the source? Maybe I want to poison my brain later.

A good start is the accompanying wiki.

I read the main story for HDG and tbh, I felt icky while reading the whole thing. I think I like my autonomy lol.

idk feels like fascism lite to me, you can have your perfect post scarcity world where your final/y happy, you just need to give up all your freedom, take drugs to subdue you, accept the brainwashing, and let them do everything for you.

I love HDG, I'm like 5 chapters into writing my own story! Fair warning tho, it's a very kinky setting so read the tags/content warnings before diving in!

Hold my estrogen smoothie I'm going in!

Yes please give me that, that's all I want

Seems like it's about 50/50 for people who want it as their reality and people who don't. I don't care about my autonomy if I can achieve happiness like that

Yea that is some nice stuff right there... xD

yeah i got two chapters in before dropping it, i like being able to think

I read the chapters of the originating story, I'll say it was very good for me identifying what kinks I do and don't have, was a mix of "ooo that's fun" and "ehhh I don't care for that"

Don't let it torment you sis, maybe step away from it for a while until your mind levels out, sorry that's going on

Yeah I think freedom is necessary for any happiness that is worthwhile mrow

nah, I don't need freedom

I do

Huh, I actually remember this, which is unbelievably rare for me and this kind of thing. It was a weird story.
