I honestly enjoy seeing you always try to spin what I’m saying back around on me. It’s quite enjoyable really and happens without fail, even if you have to twist yourself into nonsensical contortions to do so.

Respect and empathy is something I value more than most honestly, but sometimes you just have to call it like you see it. A lot of the fans are entitled and honestly acting like children. I fully understand why they are, and I respect that they have a right to do so, but that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize them. Pathetic is the exact right word for it. Especially when most of these same people harass creators and others. At that point no respect is deserved and none will be given.

Also, if you’re implying I blew my fuse during the PT, you couldn’t be further off base.

I’m not spinning anything. You are not just criticizing toxic elements in the fandom, you are conflating criticisms and negative reactions to a property with harrassment. You are generalizing when you state, that most of these same people harass creators and others. That is what is nonsensical, and disrespectful.

Well perhaps I could have said many not most, but to be clear I’m not talking about all people who criticize and I never was. I’m talking about people that go out of their way on comment sections to endlessly complain, who specifically dislike a video to try to prove a point - I’m talking about fans acting like children, and I think I actually made that pretty clear in my post. The thing is you’ll find many of these same people responding to Rian Johnson et al. saying that they ruined Star Wars and their childhood and all that.

So calm down and stop trying to look for a “gotcha” when there isn’t one and start actually paying attention to what I’m saying before you post. By acting like that, you are you’re participating in that same kind of combative and disrespectful fan discourse that you talk about.
