I wanted to make sure everyone knows: I'm boycotting all my classes. No matter what.

I don't agree with the mission of this school, and I'm being held here against my will! So I'm officially on strike in protest of your unjust policies!

[It's true, as was pointed out to him: if he's protesting, he should let everyone know about it!

He's still not sure about the hunger strike part of his plan, as he needs to eat a lot. But he boycotted Thanksgiving, so that's a start.]

I didn't tell anyone what to do, people make their own choices! I didn't ask anyone to protest with me, but if they want to, they can.

I do think they need help! Of course I want to help my friends!

[Wait wait, he's thinking better of that last part. But he already pushed send! The disadvantages of being angry on the internet...]

[presto_turn]

And being told that they're sick and should drop out of their classes is your idea of help?

[Alright, nope. He's done. Just having this conversation is making him sick to his stomach -- mostly because it feels like he should be able to say something to help Eren see how warped the line he's taking is? But he can't, and trying to formulate anything is just making him even angrier.

So, instead:]

Forget it. There's no point in talking to you.

[garganteren]

There's no point talking to you either, since you don't listen!

I told you, I didn't tell anyone to drop out of class! And I don't tell go around telling them they're sick all the time. They know I have a different opinion!

[All right, he sort of said that to Sam, but he doesn't want to cure Sam, since he has a useful power. And he didn't have the heart to say that to Shadow, she's so shy.]

[presto_turn]

That's exactly what you're doing! Talking about this stupid protest and telling everyone not to trust teachers who are just trying to help

[Wait, didn't he just say he was done with this? Damn it, stopping an Internet argument once it's started is hard.]

Friends don't treat each other like being born different is some kind of deformity.

[Okay, and now he's done for real this time - flicking his laptop shut and ignoring any further messages so he can fume in peace!]

[garganteren]

[Eren doesn't care if this person replies, he refuses to have anything but the last word in an internet argument!]

They're not helping me! If they want to help me so much, then they can let me go home to my family.

It's not a deformity, it's an illness, and it's not their fault. You can't help being born sick. I want what's best for them! I want them to be safe and not miserable! I don't want them to feel like they're monsters, to hurt people or be hurt by them!

[Though he may be talking about himself... Just a little.]
