extremely astute observation jagiya lmfaoooo

yes I and others have noticed this too haha. I wish I could say I'm surprised…but this feels like a pretty common thing around here at this point. and I realize it's because their motivations hinge entirely on what they believe suits them most at the time and not on any sort of well established values or beliefs. it is what it is. which is also why, as much as it's unfair and upsetting, it also means their opinions about me and my friends or anyone else do not hold much weight. when people are acting entirely in a way that is self interested above all else without any regard or empathy extended towards others, there are already such misguided motives at play that it's hard to believe it's really about me or anyone else or what we're doing at all.

I can only hope that those people learn and grow and realize that their actions do impact people other than themselves. and that they should care about that more. going online and engaging in these very public behaviors not only makes everyone around them miserable but it makes them miserable too lol. it can't be a fulfilling way to live by any means. on the other hand, there are plenty of people who are kind and supportive who welcome me and others into this space and those are the people that make the fandom worth being part of, despite the actions of those who work overtime to make it a miserable place.
