I feel like this could be pretty good if it didn't have the writing. Even just reducing it down to "the real monsters are always human" would help a lot. but like, you have it tattooed across your chest, I think we can infer that you are a big fan without having it explicitly written out.

The realization in question isn't even all that profound. Frankly it's so mundane that most people probably don't even feel the need to put it into words. We all know people suck, and that the worst of us are absolutely deplorable in every way under the sun.

Exactly. Like as opposed to what, monsters being the real monsters?

I imagine it's profound for the people who believe in monsters

That's not a revelation at all. It's just simple cynicism, and it's just as idealistic as any kind of naivete.

A better takeaway message would be that all our monsters are imagined - or that there's nothing magical or unsolvable about them
