asking honestly: how do we address conspiratorial thinking in this fandom without people getting their feelings hurt?
#like. i am struggling to strike a balance here as i approach year 4 in this space lmao.#i want to stop making salty posts but i also from experience know people get Mad when you try to argue with them in good faith.#and if people just said they were just here for fun that wouldn't bother me.#but A Lot of people on here fancy themselves hobby historians (not excluding myself here)#no: the topic at hand is not that serious#but: in that case you also cant be offended at people disagreeing with you. the Its Not That Serious!!! sword cuts both ways#and: in the Current Climate one just.... thinks this type of rhetoric may end up seeping into more important aspects of life#and also: people regularly complain about their analysis being better than that of published authors#and express frustration with the fact they're dismissed or taken less seriously.#and. tbh i think some people don't really Get why people disagree with them#because calling everything you dislike homophobia or naïve is not in fact very constructive#discourse#fiona.docx
