huge part of online fandom etiquette is to not spread other fandom people's bullshit online. seeing a take of some rando that is upsetting you and will definitely upset your fandom friends too? bury it, don't bring it up publicly, don't make others see it. people online are being mean and stupid? say internal fuck you to them, block, post something purely nice about the same thing, nip it in the bud. there are fandom wars happening? ignore them, don't notify anyone on the dash of it no matter how much you want to complain, let them die out instead of fanning the flames to make them spread further on another person. if that's not possible, rant and whine a bit in dms of one cool friend who is easy going and will make fun of that bullshit with you for a few minutes and help you feel lighter. there will always be miserable people online. sometimes a lot of them will be miserable at once and it will be very loud and visible and hard to ignore. learn to and don't let it snowball effect itself by transmitting the bad vibes and the existence of bad opinions to a next person, who might at this moment be clueless about it and be in the middle of having the time of their life with whatever it is you both chose to love so much, and will probably get that beautiful special moment ruined if you drag the dirt around in front of them. have fun with fandom. keep it cleaner from dirt. let your friends have fun with it carefreely and joyfully. the only way to fight this kind of hate is by loving louder
