An Autodale Theory

'''Pretty, in DeadSound’s series of Autodale, is displayed as more than just appearance. It is a way of thought, a way of living. The Uglies and the Pretties both wear masks. The Uglies do this to be labelled as how they are ugly and so their "ugliness" doesn't "spread", and the Pretties wear them so that their prettiness is preserved. The children do not yet wear masks, because they are still innocent and "free". They have not yet been deemed ugly or pretty, until they grow to a certain age (15 I think). Pretty is usually "thin", "obliging to gender roles", "cis and straight", "normal" and "stable", "sane". The labels on the Uglies' masks portray this, because "retards", "fats", the blind, the deaf, the gay, they are not "pretty". The robots (called Joes) get rid of the Uglies to keep their little perfect world in order (and possibly to create the Freaks in some sort of experiment for perfection, as seen with the giant woman-like creature they’re making in the ‘factory’). But the worst thing is, everyone in the community accepts this. Because this mass genocide is normalized.'''

'''Well, almost everyone is okay with this, except for the "exceptional" girl in "No Monsters". She was intelligent, wise and "pretty", but she knew what was going on, so she tried to run away, only for the Joes to inevitably catch her. she was separated from the rest of the uglies and labelled "exceptional" because she truly was.'''

'''You're raised in ignorance, until the time inevitably comes for you to either be murdered at the end of the Pretties' cycle, killed as an Ugly or killed as an "exceptional". Everyone is perfectly fine with this. They turn a blind eye. There is no help outside of the city walls, and if there was, you couldn't get to it. Mass genocide here is normalized.'''

'''It isn't living. It's just slowly dying.'''

'''These are my thoughts and a summary on Autodale, how it works and a bit of its history, but the true theory here is how I think it all began. DeadSound, before they released the Autodale Series, released a short film called “Merry Madness” (for this theory to make sense, I recommend you watch it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPYNWTN2ogk). Here’s the theory: The humans of the unnamed town grew sick of their “monsters”, the "bad" parts of them, the Hound that worsened the old, sick and sad. So they got rid of the terrible hound, but in doing so they also got rid of the great parts of themselves. The town went square, grey, devoid of feeling, because they wanted to be perfect. Pretty.'''

'''The way the Rat describes this town is interesting to me, because it sounds exactly like Autodale. The residents of the town also sound like the residents of Autodale.'''
