PART V - THE OTHER ANSWER
The preventable deaths of tens of thousands of people a year to mental and physical health issues should be seen as absurd, but it's not. It's part of the background noise of how our system functions. It's mundane.

Ergo, it's not so absurd to protest a TV show's cancellation with a hunger strike. In a way, it's also mundane.
Because this is the point where our society is, a point where a TV show can be the best option readily available to someone.

PART IV - THE OUTSIDER'S ANGUISH
Sometimes, a TV show is the best thing you have.
Most television is just meaningless entertainment. Once in a while, a show comes along that speaks to people.

People who need help but can't get it. People who look at the screen, see something resembling themselves or their struggle and their pain, and find comfort in it.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived on a dying Earth. Everything was going extinct, all the plants and animals. All humanity could do was try and make the most of what was left.
The day is ending, but the protest is just beginning. Here is my second movement, examining @Netflix. #SaveTheOA #WatchTheOA #TheOAisReal

My protest to #SaveTheOA has five movements. This is the first. I'll be posting the rest as I can.

Tens of thousands of people die in the United States every year because they cannot get help. They cannot afford services to treat mental health issues and medical conditions. Untreated conditions make it harder to obtain employment, making it even more impossible to get help.
