Whatever happened to the good old days when we recognized that some things are ugly, some things are monsters and you can't fix them?

In this episode, I address the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of cute monsters in fiction and why it is a symptom of a more significant breakdown of a concrete worldview in society. Monsters without teeth are really just a way to say that there is no such thing as evil; there is only misunderstanding.

The minimization of all monstrosity to nothing but a lack of tolerant understanding removes the task of human self-examination, seeing the potential of evil inside of us, and having the hope for redemption.

Malevolence is a force, simmering under the surface of all humans, and it is real.
