repeat after me:
authors are human, their characters are fictional
people on social media are human, your ships are fictional
i love my books/book characters as much as the next person, but sending death threats over ships or harassing authors about updates doesn't make you a better fan. it's not cool.
especially in the age of AI, when human labor/our humanity is so devalued, it is more important than ever to treat human creators with basic decency and respect!!! thank u for coming to my ted talk ๐ซถ๐ป๐ซถ๐ป๐ซถ๐ป
