    Jail and asylums are very different. Jail is a tool for incarceration, it gives us systematic racism. Asylums are for crazy shit, it gives us LORE.

        I’m kinda worried you’re interpetting my comment as a completely serious one. Just to reterate, I said asylums provide us lore, as in, having asylums is a good thing because it makes for a good back story for someone who eventually becomes a supervillain or something.
