This is a song dedicated to the scum that writhes in the corners of every room. To demons that settle into dust on top of your flat screen television. To the new, modern form of vampirism that courts unfettered suffering into the world. And to the cowards that shift blame and cry fowl when held accountable for actions performed by their loyal, sycophantic subjects. Pure Black Tendency is a concept from the popular game Demon’s Souls. This mechanic makes the game increasingly difficult the more that you die. The harder you get beaten, the harder it is to beat. However, the rewards increase for taking back what’s taken from you. What you endure shapes the world around you. Only by having everything stripped of you, being kicked repeatedly, can you access pure black world tendency which, in turn, unlocks prizes that are otherwise unachievable. The slandering of queer and trans identities happens via the rhetoric of small men and bitter women that stay shielded behind thin wooden desks. Distortions and fabrications told over cloth green screens and funneled through 6 ounces of plastic into the brains of useful idiots. This un-silent, un-majority has lived a comfortable life while the likes of you, and I, and our loved ones slip off a bleeding edge. They make money off our deaths and place blame on us for the actions their fans perform. The queer extermination machine that runs fully operational in this world is not only deemed permissible, it has proven financially lucrative. Pure Black Tendency is an awareness of the circumstances we live in, the consequences of letting this rot fester and the collapse of the firmament the rot has dissolved. Thank you for listening.
