Random hater: "You're an alt account of this guy I hate." Me: "Who are you? And who's that guy you talked about? I don't know that guy." The hater: "You shared one of his posts though." Me: "Really? Which one?" The hater: "This one." [shows me the most generic Tumblr post] Me: "I guess that does look like something I might have shared if I happened to see it." The hater: "See! He admits it! He's the same guy!" Me: "No. I share all sorts of stuff. How about this stuff, I share this stuff a lot." [I show the normal stuff I share] The hater: "I don't care about that. I only care about this." Me: "Well if you only focus on that post, that's kind of a biased data set." The hater: "There you go. He said the same thing the other guy said." Me: "No. That's just the most obvious explanation. What do you mean by 'the other guy said that'? How many people have you talked to?" The hater: "All 700 of you are the same person." Me: "That doesn't even sound possible. What do all these guys have in common?" The hater: "Well they're all part of the same fandom, a fandom that I'm part of." Me: "Well it sounds to me like that's just the fandom itself. What makes you think that these guys aren't just people with the same interest as you?" The hater: "Because they don't like rape." Me: "What did you just say?" The hater: "That fandom is all about rape. If you don't like rape, you're not part of that fandom." Me: "Listen you psycho, I'm part of that fandom, and I don't like that stuff. Normal people don't like that stuff. What the fuck is wrong with you?" The hater: "See! He's that same guy! He likes that fandom, but he doesn't like rape. That means he's definitely the same guy!" Me: "Stop saying rape so much. You're creeping me out." The hater: "You're not allowed to be a furry, unless you like rape." Me: "When did this turn into a furry thing? We were discussing a different fandom." The hater: "All furries are rapists. If you disagree, then you're not a furry." Me: "That's it. Admin, ban this asshole right now." The hater: "The admin's not gonna ban me. An admin would be into rape. They're going to protect me. You'll see, they ban you instead." The admin: "Jesus Christ. Yeah he's banned. What the fuck was that about?" Me: "I dunno. What a freak. Glad he's gone." Rando: "You just banned my friend." The admin: "You have the same Mac address. Care to explain?" Rando: "No, I'm using a VPN. So you can't tell I'm the same guy." The admin: "Okay, I'm blocking that Max address." Me: "Did he just admit to being the same guy?" The admin: "He's clearly an idiot. So sorry. He's been causing trouble across the net. Other networks just IP ban and he comes back minutes later." Me: "And that's exactly why I don't talk about this stuff on public social media." The admin: "Yeah, you might want to stay off Facebook for about a week." Me: "Understood. See ya." The admin: "Bye~"
