I remember discovering the show about a year ago, and for the first time in years, I felt that I finally found a crutch in my miserable life I could always rely on for comfort and joy when times became overwhelming. As a teenager I suffered from a serious eating disorder and-
severe depression and after years of living with the constant feeling of never truly belonging anywhere and punishing myself with the thought of being unnecessary and unloved, I finally found this fandom and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for every single one of you who -
helped me with just their presence and activity in this community. I rarely speak up on this platform and I still find myself feeling anxious whenever I express my opinion on social media, but this tweet just shows that I& #39;m finally comfortable enough to get this all out there,-
because I know I won& #39;t be judged. But today has been really mentally challenging and triggering. My only question is: How dare these people behave so disgusting and abusive towards a man who created something which literally changed people& #39;s lives, lifted them up from-
the dark and gave hope when it was the last thing that seemed possible? These people should think about how their words could affect an individual. They are not communicating with a fucking screen but a human being. All their homophobic bullshit makes me sick, and I am tired of-
hearing the same hurtful comments from every direction in my own country and local community as well(just to be clear, I am not the target of such comments, but I am exposed nontheless). A fandom should be about everyone feeling safe and comfortable sharing what they feel-
like sharing and not stupid kids coming for them with their idiotic policies. Who are you to tell someone what to ship, write, paint, draw etc. Clearly you have no idea that these activities and means of expression really helped people find themselves in so many beautiful ways.-
Self-acceptance is extremely important, and if you can& #39;t respect it, and moreover judge and bully someone because they actually found their own ways which they feel at ease and satisfied with to express it, you are a dickhead.
Sit down, stop harassing people over fiction and maybe try to find another way to relieve your hatred and negativity.
Anyways, sorry for making this thread so long, but it felt right to finally speak my mind freely. Stay safe x
