Yeah all the condescending ‘well that’s just how the game works, you noobs~~’ posts are really tone-deaf and not helpful. As if being somehow ‘objective’ makes you a better kind of fan or a better kind of human. People seem really really interested in policing others’ reactions to Molly’s death which makes me feel uncomfortable in this fandom for the first time since I entered it
yeah, this is exactly it! ah, i identify 100% with this. i feel really bummed out, as if being totally unruffled by ep26 means they’re… what, more mature? as if not being upset is the more right way to be? or that’s the vibe that comes off the “don’t be THAT upset” posts that i’m getting. i get wanting to defend the cast, but it feels like a good chunk of this is coming at our expense.
i’m feeling extra frustration bc largely, where i look for the fandom, i’ve found it great. everyone mostly wants to shield matt/ashly/etc from attack, and i’m completely behind that, but there’s so much of this conversation that – yeah, i feel like my reaction to this is being policed. i want to feel my feelings and not have my emotions brushed aside with ‘stop overreacting to a game’. it’s not unreasonable to be upset about it, at all.
