    The difference, I suppose, is that Frankenstein’s monster didn’t have access to some MChan where he could get all of his worst thoughts and feelings normalized, amplified, and signal boosted, before rampaging out again to “get the high score.”

      That being said, I’m surprised that CHUDs haven’t adopted Frankenstein’s monster or Grendel from the novel in 1971.

        One of my hotter takes is that the “vampires that sparkle” shit and related “blood sucking monster is actually really nice if he wants to have sex with you” slop of the early 2000s was basically that. It had some overlap with “The Galactic Empire of Star Wars Did Nothing Wrong, Actually” and “Grey Jedi that have all the cool dark side powers but don’t label them, maaaaaaan” shit in that fandom too.
