#So you'll have to be an invested hater to send an angry message

Guys, please

Stop tagging vents and personal fanlore opinions as "critical" and/or "discourse." It's ridiculous to be onion-skinned in the face of other people's reactions when you deliberately mark your post/s as an open invitation to commentaries, reasonable or not.

Differentiate trauma-dumping from critical analysis. Your emotions justify your beliefs in cutting off what harms you, but it does not make you immune from making logical fallacies.

Understand that at least some people just want to criticize where your logic is flawed. It does not mean they invalidate your emotions, and neither should you do the same in making your counterarguments. (People who do otherwise are nasty.)

Refrain from making expounded arguments on someone else's opinions that might not even be about you.

Start asking friends, mutuals, and even your own followers for recommended content to support instead of stressing over content that you don't like.

If making callouts is too much and you'd rather attempt to initiate a rational and public conversation, get straight to the point on why XYZ's take/s of [insert country/ies] ended up sour. If you can't bear to name these creators, then at least don't hold back on showing their work. Do that instead of inventing arbitrary examples so irrationally unlikely to occur, or constantly vagueing about how "many people" create racist or misinformed characterizations. All that does is sow distrust and not media literacy.

Find a volunteer group/club/NGO/youth organization/charity/etc. to channel your rage against statism/capitalism/imperialism into, instead of the fandom.
