I try not to react to hate anons or hate comments much but…I hate being called a puritan. I hate it and I hate how lackadaisical people are now a days when using it. Especially people who are heavy into fandom. I grew up in an actual puritanical household and I’m traumatized by actual puritans and I’m still trying to work through that trauma. So being called that just because I don’t like a fictional character or because a certain ship squicks me out is, dare I say it…offensive. And I can’t even say “please don’t call me a puritan, I’m not a puritan and I don’t want anything to do with Puritanism” they’ll say “well then don’t say puritanical shit” and then I look at the “puritanical shit” and it’s just me saying that I have a hard time trusting proshippers.
Uugghghhhg it just gets under my skin so bad. Even though I’m obviously not a puritan it still gets to me and it does make my intrusive thoughts worse. I wish people would just cool it.
