First, there is the guy who made hating this movie his full time job.

He started off flooding the comment section calling the movie dogwater and horrible, telling anyone who liked it that they have weird and bad taste, and loudly declaring he was "tryna save people" from this supposedly terrible film. He was not leaving a review. He was running a one man smear campaign trying to sway people from seeing the movie. But the second he got called out, he immediately switched to "it's not that deep, why are you sending essays LOL." You cannot spend hours preaching that a movie is dogwater and you are saving people, then pretend you are too casual to care the moment someone pushes back. That is not being chill. That is retreating because you have no actual argument.

He also kept mocking the length of my replies like that was a win. As if being able to write more than three sentences without drowning in emojis is something to be embarrassed about. Sorry I can articulate a point. Not my fault your attention span caps out at a TikTok caption.

Then there is the self-appointed comment section police.

This person slid into my replies to tell me to stop saying the movie is great and let people have their own opinions. Meanwhile the guy actively insulting everyone for liking the film got zero lectures from them. They had no problem with harassment. They only had a problem with someone defending the movie. That is not neutrality. That is being annoyed that someone fought back and dressing it up as fairness.

When I pointed this out, their response was "having essays isn't quite demure either sorry." That is it. That was their rebuttal. A TikTok buzzword and an apology. They went from lecturing about opinions to a one-liner about essay length because they had nothing left. The mask slipped fast.

Then there is the guy who cannot stop bringing up Andrew Tate.

He started by complaining that A24 is targeting teenagers now because of internet horror, which already makes no sense if you actually watch the film and see the themes about grief and how the past haunts adulthood. When someone challenged him, he pivoted to "I am not into your minecraft fortnight culture" and then started accusing people of being afraid of Andrew Tate and Myron Gaines. Multiple times. Unprompted. Nobody mentioned those men. Nobody was being aggressive. He just has exactly one move and it is diagnosing strangers with alpha male trauma instead of defending a single thing he said about the actual movie.

It is genuinely bizarre. Like watching someone derail their own argument in real time because they cannot stop repeating the same unrelated insult.

And of course there are the media illiteracy classics.

Multiple people complained there is no monster and no plot, as if horror has to be a nonstop chase scene. They insisted it should have been based on the "video game" as if the Backrooms started as a game and not a creepypasta that Kane Pixels already adapted into a slow, atmospheric series years ago. Another claimed a therapist investigating a vanished patient is a plot hole because in real life therapists do not do that, as if horror movies are documentaries about workplace protocol.

The pattern is always the same.

They come in loud and insulting. When you push back with actual points they either mock the length of your reply, accuse you of caring too much, or pivot to random unrelated jabs. None of them can actually defend their criticism. It is not about the movie. It is about performative hate and being angry the film was not the monster mash they invented in their heads. The moment you make them explain themselves, they fold.

Below here is to prove that this guy doomscroll every comments to force hate on the movie. Yes its ironic since i am doing the same thing to find these but I need to prove that I am not making it up that this guy actively seek to hate and try the ruin the movie reputation to make people not watch it. Very shitty and loser behavior.

Spanish Version: El Postureo de la Falsa Academia y las Cuentas Fantasma

El anónimo que ha llegado a mi bandeja de entrada no es más que el reflejo perfecto de lo que son estas dos comunidades: un intento desesperado de aparentar una superioridad intelectual que, en realidad, nadie tiene. Da bastante pena ver cómo intentan insultar la inteligencia de todo el mundo en Tumblr cuando sus propios espacios se están cayendo a pedazos. No estamos hablando de que sean comunidades un poco flojas o que tengan malas raras; la realidad es que son lo peor que hay ahora mismo en la plataforma en todos los sentidos, empezando por una administración nefasta cuyos niveles académicos dan bastante vergüenza y no cumplen ni de lejos con lo que prometen en sus descripciones.

Si uno rasca un poco la superficie de esos blogs, lo único que encuentra es puro humo y una obsesión enfermiza por los números de cara a la galería. Mantienen una cantidad ridícula de blogs fantasma completamente inactivos solo para hacer bulto en la lista de miembros y fingir que son una comunidad viva. Por si eso no fuera suficiente ridículo, meten a gente de fuera que ni siquiera habla español en comunidades que supuestamente nacieron para hablar de literatura hispánica. Todo esto lo hacen con el único objetivo de inflar las estadísticas y hacer que parezca que hay movimiento en los dashboards con publicaciones vacías que no aportan absolutamente nada. Han perdido por completo el norte y la verdadera razón de ser de estos espacios: crear una comunidad real, apasionada y seria en nombre de la literatura en español.

Tanto que se llenan la boca con la palabra "internacional" para justificar este desastre de organización, cuando lo único que demuestran es que no saben gestionar un espacio cultural. Si lo que tanto les emociona es ver banderas de diferentes países juntas, ver números fluctuar en una pantalla y pretender que forman parte de un evento global sin tener que usar una sola neurona, lo tienen muy fácil. En lugar de arruinar los espacios de literatura con su incompetencia y su falso bulto, lo que deberían hacer es apagarse la pantalla, salir a la calle, tocar un poco de hierba y ponerse a ver el Mundial de fútbol. Ahí tienen toda la internacionalidad que sus cuerpos necesitan, con transmisiones tanto en español como en inglés para que nadie se pierda. En el fútbol la masa y el ruido son la norma, y no hace falta fingir un nivel académico que claramente les queda demasiado grande.

English Version: The Flop Eras of Digital Fandoms and Ghost Blogs

The anonymous ask sitting in my inbox is honestly embarrassing, mostly because whoever sent it is trying to insult everyone’s intelligence on this platform while defending absolute clownery. Let’s be real for a second: the two communities being defended here aren't just hitting a rough patch—they are in their ultimate flop era. From the ground up, they are the absolute worst spaces on Tumblr right now. The administrative team claims to hold these incredibly high academic and literary standards, but in reality, their actual output doesn’t even hit the bare minimum of what anyone would expect from a basic high school book club.

The entire setup is a massive illusion built on inflated metrics and desperate clout-chasing. The dashboard is filled with ghost blogs that the mods keep on life support just to make the member count look impressive. To make matters even funnier, they are actively pulling in random foreign accounts who don't even speak the language into spaces that are strictly branded as Spanish literature communities. They are doing all of this just to artificially trigger the algorithm and manufacture fake activity. In doing so, they have completely abandoned the actual plot: building a genuine, meaningful community centered around a shared passion for Hispanic texts.

Does he pay attention to it or does it just make him want to be louder about everything he already fights for?

Hello! I asked the cards your question and the first pull was the 7 of Coins, Ace of Coins and 5 of Cups.

7 of Coins followed by Ace of Coins might mean he sees himself as always putting so much effort in what he does, seeing the results of what he worked to achieve for a long time, still with room to grow, and seeing so many new opportunities for his career, potential and possibilities and new goals. 5 of Cups points to him feeling disappointed by this wave of hate towards him, like a loss or a setback.

The second pull was the 10 of Wands, The Devil reversed and 2 of Swords. 10 of Wands represents a time of intense workload and responsibility, too many tasks, a heavy weight or burden, with a feeling of exhaustion. It could be that he has so much going on in his life, so much work and so much to deal with, and this hate campaign is even more weight on him. However, with The Devil reversed, he does try to break free of this toxicity, from negative influences, fears and obsessive thoughts. 2 of Swords means he might still feel insecure, uncertain and conflicted, what brings him anxiety and stress.

Severe distress: caused impairment in social, occupational, and/or school functioning, and (would have) required professional help

Moderate distress: caused negative emotions and other negative effects (e.g. physical symptoms of anxiety, sleep problems) but did not cause impairment in the domains mentioned above and wasn't so bad that professional help would have been necessary
