#please don't put stuff on the dash that attacks camilla or her fans

H-Hewwo everybody I’m so sad that there’s been no Camilla news recently. My life is hollow with how irrelevant she is right now! Gosh, if only something major Camilla wise had happened last night...

Oh yeah. CYL.

Any time a new Camilla alt comes out, there’s a fair amount of backlash. And I don’t just mean “oh, I wish such and such character without an alt got it instead”. Whilst a lot of you know I hated the hot springs Camilla and banner in general the hate can go really overboard in terms of attacking her as a character, or more importantly, her fans.

I’ve not seen any problems on the dash yet, though that may be due in part to my being busy today, as well as sickness naps. I am well aware of some of the comments in the CYL tag, however, and I don’t dare go into Camilla’s today.

I’ve engaged in arguments on the dash defending Camilla before, to varying degrees depending on the alt. However, these were all in circumstances where the backlash was a bit more understandable to begin with and also, I wasn’t recovering from an illness.

I may be biased, but I believe brave!Camilla to be completely fair. IntSys has no control over the votes, so this is genuinely what fans want regardless of the number of alts she already has. It would be a slap in the face to have removed her from the polls, especially as a brave unit would be incredibly different bolverik Camilla to the alts she already has in terms of style i.e. fanservice.

So yeah. This was a fair vote, rather than IntSys deciding we need another alt. If I do see any outright hate about the outcome, that’s really going to feel like an attack on her fans. Some of you know I have a very personal reason for feeling attached to Camilla, which relates to my disability, so yeah I really would appreciate not having to deal with negativity.

If the brave alt is sexualised for no good reason, I’ll be salting then as well, since brave units have all had really cool concepts behind them so far. But for now, it would be nice to keep the dash clean.

So here’s my stance. I have not seen any hate yet, but if I do, there will be an instant unfollow.

 I don’t mean a comment like: “Oh, Anna’s votes being split was unfair! She might have overtaken Camilla if they were merged.” as that is a valid criticism. I voted for Zeke from Echoes, but wasn’t sure if I should go for Camus instead. I get it.

I mean: “Ugh people only voted for that big titted bimbo because of fanservice!!!”

Yes, I have read that actual description of Camilla from a mutual in the past. Naturally, we aren’t mutuals anymore, given it was this blog they followed. Whether I’ll enforce this on my other blogs is to be decided, but it’s a bit odd to follow a Camilla if you hate her so much.

Sorry if this seems unnecessary or pretentious, but I’m really tired of the Camilla hate, on my Camilla dash, and feel like I need to say this preemptively. I dreaded CYL because I knew there’d be hate regardless of if she won or even just came close. To everyone who didn’t want her to win, but are being respectful, I’m genuinely grateful to you. There are characters I’m not a fan of that I believe have too many alts and don’t get as much hate but try to keep that to myself, or to private servers/dms. So I do appreciate anyone who shows the same respect for Camilla’s fans.

Thank you for reading this!
