Yeah, because people who have a different opinion than yours, even if it means defending a cartoon character that isn't real, should be shut down. Way to promote the spirit of the US and other corrupt governments! I get what you were trying to say, but no one should be attacked for having a personal opinion, no matter how much you disagree. Especially when it has to do with cartoon characters. Defending a real person sure but a cartoon character you can reimagine in a fanfic and all that jazz.
If you feel that strongly about this then you should be willing to put your name on your comments to me. If you truly believe in what youâre saying, say it for real rather than behind those sunglasses, yeah? Itâs not like Iâm going to troll you for disagreeing with something I said (despite what you appear to incorrectly assume).
Iâm going to guess youâre talking about the comment I left on the @waltdisneyconfessions blog post about Mother Gothelâs actions and abuse survivors. If Iâm correct, then way to blow things out of proportion like whoa and make some nice blanket assumptions about me and what I actually said.
For some background, the confession I commented on said the following:
âI think everyone whoâs ever had any problem with their mother can relate to Rapunzelâs relationship with Mother Gothel, which is what makes it so complex. But it feels like the fans who have bad or abusive mothers have taken ownership of Rapunzel and Gothelâs relationship and projected their own issues onto it, and anyone who doesnât think Gothel was anything less than a pure evil monster gets shut down.â
And I left a comment on it listing some of the reprehensible things Gothel did and ended it with âAnybody who tries to defend Gothel SHOULD be shut downâ.
So, first off, where did I say that all people who have a differing opinion from me on any and all subjects should be attacked? Nowhere. You are putting that sentiment in my mouth, not me. I was talking about the defense of Gothelâs abusive behavior only.
Also, âshut downâ is not the same thing as âattackedâ. Did I say anyone who defends Gothelâs abusive behavior should be attacked? No. You are the one making that leap, not me.Â
In this context Iâm saying âshut downâ as in strongly disagreeing with the person and shutting down their argument with counterpoints. You know, like⌠debate? Points and counterpoints? Talking? Not everything has to be digital warfare, and saying my statement there âpromotes the spirit of the US and other corrupt governmentsâ is absolutely ridiculous. Come on, now. Be reasonable.
I never said that people should be attacked for having a personal opinion, nor did I say that anybody who has a different opinion than mine about anything and everything should be shut down. That is you putting words in my mouth, and Iâd appreciate it if youâd⌠not. Itâs not a good look.
