Sometimes you run into takes that are so bad that you can’t help but roll your eyes, then you run into one so idiotic and clearly in bad faith that you can’t help but wonder if someone like Lily Orchard decided to make an alt so she can hijack a specific fandom in secret.
I run into these situations way too often for comfort and still people often wonder why I get so misanthropic. (At least sometimes)
YOU got into fandom because you were bored in quarantine
I got into fandom because i was bullied for being weird (autistic) and needed to think of something other than killing myself
YOU are now trying to bully weird people out of fandom (we built it)
WE ARE NOT THE SAME
