#everyone probably already knows this but

I do find it telling who has ended up being bullied and accused of being jealous or a hater or whatever. Because it’s not me. I’ve been tweeting about this subject for days, posting about it on here… nothing. The reply I got from TSR on Instagram was surprisingly civil, even agreeing with me (to a point, obviously). They followed me on Twitter and despite the fact that I’ve tweeted several times since then, and called out all of the issues very directly… nothing.

Nope, he picked on someone else, and it wasn’t someone whose tweets got more attention in the fandom. I went back and checked. The engagement numbers are similar; actually if anything, mine are higher. TSR follows me too. But unlike me, it’s someone who’s very vocal about being a fanon Twitter, specifically. And someone who’s been vocal about her mental health.

In other words, someone who has expressed what I can guarantee you he sees as vulnerability. Because to someone like this, who sees everything in terms of power dynamics, being a fan means being in essentially a subservient position.

He has no actual arguments or defence. All he’s got is a bit of what-aboutism and this, an attempt to shut people up by humiliating or hurting them. Because he knowsthat we know exactly what he is and what he’s doing. And when it comes down to it, he has absolutely no defence, because what he’s doing is indefensible and he knows it.

What a little coward.
