#fandomry rambles

1) One of the dumbest things about this situation is that I did not even know that the person who made initial Tweet telling people to kill themselves over liking a ship was a minor. I saw absolutely unacceptable Tweet, and I responded to it for how it deserved to be responded.

2) You guys pull the "just minors" card all the time, and what you guys are saying is WAY more insulting towards minors than just posting the screenshots of something ALREADY fully available on Twitter. YOU are the one insulting minors' intelligence and morals by acting like they're somehow conceptually incapable of being responsible for unacceptable and genuinely evil shit. Like, are you implying that nobody simply knows that being a bully over interests and lying is bad until they turn 18?

3) You are straight up making it sound not for what it is

You block them and move on, they do dumb things, you taking it personally and going off the rails however, is absolutely moronic and cruel asf

Of course I took it personally when one of them literally went to dig out a post from over two years ago that was not even racist + long ago deleted after friend explained me what was not right about it just to accuse me of racism (literally where?). Of course I took it personally when one of them ALSO literally screenshotted a random bio that was never mine and lied on their Twitter that it was mine.

It is not "just a dumb thing kids do let them have their childhood uwu", it is lying and slander. It is not "moronic and cruel" to call their actions for what they are.

4)

delete those posts, and leave the kids alone fuck sake.

If I deleted the posts, would they do the same with their posts? Of course not. If they somehow deleted their posts, could I be confident that they would not still keep screenshots and use them every single time I do the awful crime of sharing lore about Bloodborne or otherwise inconvenience them? Of course not. Will they leave me alone tho? Of course not. I will respond to the Twitter comments I get when I see them until they simply stop.

Also I won't fucking negotiate while being talked like that. Seriously, you could literally hold me at a gunpoint and I would still not do what you tell me. I don't understand why some of you guys thought that I would ever do what you ask from me when your "asking" is just insulting me and pulling "b-but minors can't be decent people it is a skill you only unlock as an adult" card over and over and over and OVER. You talk to me like you are well aware of my personality, so how do you not know that I never allow anyone to threaten or insult me into doing what they want?

5) These people would have acted the exact same way even with their names censored. They just need an excuse. If it wasn't "but she didn't censored out the names", it would be something else. You've seen yourself that they move goalposts towards whatever is a convenient at the moment.

6) I responded to the original person that told people to die over liking a ship (because no you don't JUST block someone who says this, and no I did not even see their age either), then their friends responded to me responding, then I was responding to their responses, and so on and so on.

7)

This isn't the first time you've done this shit either, you LIKE being seal clapped by your friends and being a piece of shit

No, this IS, in fact, the very first time I picked a fight with Soulsborne Stans Twitter. If you imply that I "was a piece of shit" before then you are one of the people who believed dumb slander posts by Percy and Marble on Tumblr, therefore you are my enemy by PROXY. I can't stand people who read obvious bullshit and just believes it, anyone with basic common sense would understand how much nonsense those posts are. And I won't do what an ENEMY tells me. Get out.

8)

'I don't have traction so it doesn't matter' it's about respect.

So me preemptively defending myself from that manipulative thing people do when they delete their posts and then lie about the posts not being that bad to make the person look worse is disrespect? So I should respect people who are being bullies on Twitter? And also liars? It is crazy with how many absolutely absurd things you are okay with, but the moment I defend myself is where you draw the line?

Again, I posted it where my friends can see it so they know what actually happened when those people will go in their inbox and DMs to try and twist the situation in their favour. Which IS something people like this do.

(In relevance to this ( x ) debate)

.......Wow, that's rich, "anon". Really. I forgot to even think about these things happening, but it is clear for me now what you are really getting at.

Admittedly, I've expected the OP to just block me and maybe delete the post (since there was nothing to argue against my evidence). I honestly think that wiping the blog and changing username is a bit too drastic, but it is his choice how to react on being proven wrong. I had no control over how he would respond, I simply retorted against misinformation like I always do. You have only half-point that Bloodborne fandoms does notoriously hate lore discussions and only wants their fanons validated.

HOWEVER. For one, he is NOT a Gehrman Hater himself! He was simply drastically wrong about Gehrman in his post, but he didn't express any negative bias against the character or his fans! Nor he is a "puritan trash" (unless some of now-deleted posts gave away such attitude, in which case remember to not throw such strong words without evidence). Nor someone who fell for mistranslation blunders and popular parroted takes (ie 'Doll is idealised housewife made to be submissinve') is automatically an idiot- and I say it as someone who used to throw this insult around generously in the past, but never again. And last but not least: I did not fucking bully anyone.

Your ask is a very obvious bait, and by merely sending it you have insulted my intelligence no less than how you've insulted that of mytypeismohg/swallowyourmemories. It has nothing to do with the exchange that actually happened. But what are you baiting me for? There are two explanations for your bait that I can concur from it:

FIRST OPTION: You wanted to trick me into accidentially "admitting" on approving of bullying and harassing people with inaccurate takes in the fandom, so you could run around and yell "LOOK LOOK guys, katyahina is just a bully!!! This is the true face of Gehrman defenders!!! Stop citing her takes unless you want to be associated with a bully!!!". In which case you have failed, because here is the exchange, linked at the start of this post, for everyone to see that I did not bully the OP but simply debunked his points in a completely neutral manner. Everyone can also figure that OP is a grown ass person who makes his own choices on how to react.

SECOND OPTION: You live in your own world of delusions where people who defend Gehrman whenever this discourse pops up ARE, genuinely, just evil bullies, and in sending this ask you have attempted to get under my skin. In other words, you have deliberately formulated this ask as an "ugly mirror" of my actions in the fandoms, so I would read it, """realise what I have done""" and reflect on myself. In which case, again, you have failed, because I've done nothing wrong. :p I disagreed in a neutral way and debunked points that were simply wrong and contradicted canon, which is everyone's right in the internet!

Regardless of whichever it is, you are strongly disconnected from what actually happened. Also regardless of whichever it is, you seem to be very strongly occupied with how people in the fandom read Gehrman, Maria and the Doll, to the point of going out of your way to pull this trick. And also regardless of whichever it is...,

..at some point, @fantomette22 was baited by Percy in the exact same way, over exact same topic, with exactly the same amount of detatchment from reality and the exact same disregard for the basic intelligence of a person they tried to manipulate. ( x ) ( x ) Back then, we also could not figure out whether they wanted to trick Fantomette into accidentially admitting on being misogynistic or they wanted to give her the "ugly reflection" manipulation (you can see I rolled with the former). All because she drew Gehrman and Maria having a child in the AU where they lived both. In any case, it seems like there is someone in Bloodborne fandom who is extremely controlling over the most popular fanon on Gehrman, Maria and the Doll remaining the ONLY acceptable way to read these characters, so they use this exact tactic to paint them in a bad light and/or believe they are genuinely bad people. You are having a relapse episode, aren't you?

....well, even if you are not who I think you are, you've stepped on quite a landmine with this one. In any case, just accept that Gehrman badly suffered from mistranslations and bad faith and people who are not okay with this are not disappearing anywhere. Disagreeing is not bullying! Manipulation can be considered as bullying, on the other hand.

P.S.: Since I know how this hellsite is, here is the reason I am using he/him for the OP:

It is the "What if Kaladin was an Edgedancer?" AU, but it is also the "What if Moash was a Skybreaker?" AU, the "What if Eshonai lived and became a Willshaper?" AU, the "What if Dalinar died on the Shattered Plains?" AU, the "What if Helaran had lived?" AU, and the "What if Adolin was a Windrunner?" AU all rolled up into one.

whatever creature that is

Like, I get that some people won't like the sassy, prickly nerd archetype without a sad backstory to justify it and character arc to "fix" it, but it should be a no brainer that not everyone feels the same way. The thing is, a character can still be funny and possess a unique charisma even if they seem to be a bit of an ass! It is a valid archetype that sometimes doesn't get development and charscter arc but is still entertaining! And if little dialogue and no lore is the reason why we should not care about the character... well, you'd be shocked to find out about microfandoms for Scarf Mouse, Skater and green flame girls and some others then hghgjghchj This is the "no minor character gets left behind" fandom. The "character who only has a design and nothing else gets fans" fandom, even.

Besides, I'd make an argument Berdly was not even that one-dimensional character even in Chapter 1!

He literally expressed concern for Kris' well-being later after they disappeared for a whole day with the person he only knew as a bully until later events! Like, he clearly teases Kris a lot, but the seeds of it just BEING their dynamic as friends was established in Chapter 1.

As players we first got the idea he was just some mean bully nerd, but in actuality this is subverted and we see it is just how Kris and Berdly do things. I mean, you can literally tell Berdly to go near the Hospital window when Rudy says to bring Berdly there so he can throw something at him and he gets all nervous like "ahah I can't" fhghdyhg

Like, look at this and tell me Berdly wasn't fucking hilarious since Chapter 1. xD Also look at this and tell me they aren't just mutually teasing on regular basis. Kris themselves is a bit of an ass with all the pranks, why not be friends with someone who likes to tease? And they were the trashtalkers
