I am so sorry if I sound like a pussy but thank you! Never be afraid to speak your mind! I am so sad about this fandom when it comes to certain LIs because I remember someone saying I am mentally ill because I like Ian 😭! Like I get not liking a LI, that is their prerogative but someone saying that because they aren't a fan of him? That sucks when fans are attacked because they don't like the LI you are romancing.

Sorry for the whining and venting.

Omgggg thank you so much for this ask!!

First of all, feel free to vent as much as you want- no need to worry about saying sorry or anything. I won't judge you, this is a welcoming space for everyone as long as we communicate with kindness. My DMs are always open for you! So you don't have to be too hard on yourself. <3

Now secondly, wtf 😭 I'm so sorry to hear that you also experienced that. Ugh getting personal over fictional characters like literally over mere pixels bruh, they need to get some help- this is messed up. Judging and attacking real people over shipping fictional characters or merely because they don't share your viewpoint is such a childish thing to do honestly... C'mon guys most of you are grown-ups, act like it please! Unfortunately, this RC community has loads of these immature, stupid idiots who act as if they are the internet morality police, and so by shutting down opinions, they try to gain a sense of righteousness...

One can tactfully communicate with others to broaden their perspectives on others' viewpoints rather than attempting to silence them with their own. Try to be more open-minded about people having different interests and opinions! But if this is something they cannot do, then they should simply not engage with them- block them, block those posts, block those tags, etc. (yes babies you can actually choose to do that, and do yourself and others a favour!) Like stop ruining your and others' experiences, we are all here to have fun so why does one have to take things so personally? This community is supposed to be a fun one where yes, you can criticize a character flaw, and have debates but don't be one of those morons who's here to ruin someone's whole day over a stupid obsession with a fictional character.

Anyways, thanks again anon for this ask and for that much-needed encouragement!!!!!
