I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is a remarkably accurate depiction of the lifestyle. I bristle at the flashbacks with the abusive EC, because that sort of overt mental abuse is pretty limited, and is all but extinct in the post-Weinstein world; it’s one of the few elements that feels a bit overly dramatic.
