With all the shitty messages youâve been getting, Iâd say turning off anon would help quite a lot.
I would, Waen, but I also really donât care about these little hate messages! Itâs actually kind of amusing. It says WAY more about the person who sends the hate than it does about the person that receives it.Â
Like this GinHiji hater. What did they get out of saying that? They reduced an amazing character to âjust a foilâ and it kind of just goes to show how little the anon knows about those characters. If the anon loved Hijikata and cared about his character, he would never have been reduced to âjust Gintokiâs foil.â Shipping aside, Hijikata is a strong, independent character that deserves every bit of recognition and respect. I really understand not liking a ship, but just having someone go out of their way to be hateful itâs like sitting down to eat popcorn to a terrible movie.
I relate hateful anons to bugs smashing into your windshield. They go splat and make a tiny smudge, but then can be washed right off and forgotten about.Â
Plus, there are people who are just shy and need the anon option to say something and I donât want to take that option away from them. Itâs amusing for me when people get all nasty about shipping, anyway. Like... itâs not canon? Itâs just for fun?? And then there are some people who see that and go, âYouâre having fun, you like a ship I donât like, you need some hate!â Makes me wonder what happened to them to make them so negative and nasty. Like, what crawled up your ass and died to make you feel the need to go out of your way just to be hateful? Itâs nothing more than a passing curiosity though.
Rest assured, no hate actually gets to me. It all just kinda rolls right off with a shrug. People are entitled to their opinions and theyâre allowed to pop into my inbox with it if they so choose!Â
