Yes. There's that too. Yum-Yums with an additional zing of anonymity
to write whatever you want in chat rooms. What more could any warm-
hearted, compassionate, fair, vulnerable outcast -- like me and many
other geeks -- ask for?

I'm a social outcast because of the clothes I wear. My skin is very
sensitive so I can't wear the stuff that society considers "cool". I
cannot adapt to the discomfort, so I have to wear what I currently
wear. I have a best friend who has tried his best to support me but
society started insulting him for hanging out with me. As a result, he
is forced to abandon me.

Because of what society does to my friend and me, I want to punish
society by writing extremely taboo things in chat rooms -- without
putting anyone [including myself] in harms way.

My enemy [i.e. society] pisses me off. To be fair, I want to piss my
enemy off.

With this internet cafe, any social outcast could get on a chair, put
on those goggles, get connected and pester society to their heart's
content. It would be extremely difficult for society to figure out the
who, what, when, where, why, and how of any social outcast venting
their spleen via this cafe.

I have an Autism Spectrum Disorder called Aspergers. This contributes
to my sensitivity to certain fabric. Until society accepts my
"oddities" and treats me as an equal, I will continue to want to
punish it.
