The lack of maturity in this fandom has truly shined over the last several months. I've expected this from the younger folks. However, some of the nastiest behavior is from the adults.
Tell me why, when you have a job, personal life, and hobbies, that you spend your time online spreading malicious rumors about an actor you don't like? Instead of focusing on your life, you post about someone else's life.
Some of you don't care about details. Quite frankly, some of you don't even care about facts. You care about appearing right, even though it may be wrong (see specious). At the end of the day, it's about internet clout.
While how you interact with fictional characters isn't one-to-one with your real life ethics and morals, how you treat real people and their lives are. There are real people behind each account, and there are real people behind each character.
Ya'll are too comfortable peddling misinformation and encouraging harassment under the guise of a "good cause". So much so that it ultimately highlights how it was never about the cause, and all about tearing down a specific person. Your self-righteousness is apparent, just like your lack of integrity.
Combating rumors of two friends grabbing food by spreading rumors that imply the one friend you don't like is a predator is on the absurd-to-diabolical spectrum of parasocial behavior.
Why do you care about two people acting like friends? Why did you choose to dispel the rumor this way? And, why do you think your behavior is okay when you don't like the same behavior in others?
Some food for thought, because self-awareness is an untapped skill in this fandom.

Genuinely makes me want to vomit, these people have no humanity
