As with every issue we discuss, we don't have answers for the issues and frustrations we bring forward. What we hope for is that by having open discussions we can have better representation and greater communal compassion for those around us. "It" in all its forms is not perfect, but it does touch on trauma, both personal and communal, in a way that forces the viewer or reader to look at the world around them. Indifference is the true evil, and only by acting can we defeat it. That could be stepping in when someone is being bullied or assaulted; volunteering at a shelter; reaching out to someone who is suffering; and in very rare instances, going into the sewers to beat the shit out of an evil space entity disguised as a clown.
