kossaijust have some glamourbomb thoughts swirl around in mind again , with relation to thought pieces about death or failure of glamourbombs ...
even people who did do illegal things in glamourbombs would mostly not want to just up and say that , because that was - and even more now is - invitation for legal trouble .
even people who use most ritualistic and deep magic in glamourbombs probably did not have means or comfort to talk about this , because magic and methodology can be very personal and secretive - for honestly good reasons .
this can also paint target on back if unlucky , or at times give someone insight to intercept .
and yes , community spaces often run over by people with misconceptions about idea - often young teenagers who just want to make difference in world that feel so sad and broken .
at some point even strict moderators give up on control , because ... who would not , in that situation ? to fight dozens of posts each day , and only get angry answers in return … at some point , just have to cede because there is not enough energy or time in day .
all of these things can make discussions of real glamourbombs hard . but lack of discussion is not inherently lack of happen .
what actually make glamourbomb hard , in opinion of kossai ?
this happen sometimes even back then , but especially especially now with rise of tiktok and further erosion of respect for fellow public …
people do not read these things as fun or mystical . sometimes do not even read as intentional presentation , but instead read as someone unstable , someone to just laugh at and provoke . not even real person - instead put in this nigh subhuman category .
solo efforts can thus feel much more dangerous and put in more vulnerable place - and at this point , people who want to glamourbomb do not necessarily have friends who will join and give safety in numbers , friends who want to feel subject to this treatment .
this is part of why even with work on archives , admit that certain things just probably not feasible now . as well , absolutely understand appeal of quick in and out , drop randomness for someone else to find without trace of who or why .
and just think that means much , much more than what exactly glamourbombers talk about .
