Bit of a rant about the crk fandom!
Can we please leave Barrett Leddy alone! Why go after the voice actor just because a cookie you don't like won a contest...
Like we get it, but leave their actor's alone. There's no need for it.
Just because a popular character won is no justifiable reason to send hate to a person who is literally just doing their job, and even if they promote their character, there's nothing wrong with that. They're probably being paid to do so or just want to have fun with the community. There's always next time your fav can win. There's no need to act like your loved ones got murdered just because "oh well th-this isn't fair! I hate that character because of this and that!" Okay!? Then ignore it and move on it's not the end of the world.
It's already bad enough that this fandom becomes a war zone over ships! (don't get me started on the ship's) I'm used to it due to being in fandom spaces like that in the past, but that doesn't mean it's not tiring. It's the same bullshit every time. Character gets popular because people actually like that character for their story, design, or hell being associated with another character, and then comes the hate train to run over people's fun.
"Well, we shouldn't let a character who's a manipulative liar win! There's other characters who deserve it more than them?!"
There will always be characters who are bad or evil, adding onto that. Villainous characters will always be somewhat popular and fandoms favorite child, and that's okay. Do they need to be idolized every their waking breath? No. I get it. We shouldn't put bad people on a pedestal and normalize unhealthy behavior. It's a good thing that you want to teach people that people who are manipulative will actually hurt you and don't actually and would probably never genuinely wouldn't care about you in real-life, but you need to realize that people love these characters and they can legitimately bring happiness to people who struggle with mental health or worse.
And before you go and shout "OH SO I CAN'T HAVE AN OPINION ANYMORE!?"
Yes, yes, you can. But what crosses the line is when you actively go out of your way and purposely send hate every time someone posts about said favorite character and belittle them into thinking that they're just as bad as their favorite character. You're only making it worse. The more hate you spread, the more that person who you don't know could push them into hurting themselves or worse. That character could be the only reason someone is here still, that they got their creativity and love for their passion back, they may see a part of themselves in that character and you're basically saying that you shouldn't deserve anything in life all because you don't like a character?! Hell, you're acting somewhat like that character you claim to despise.
Why are we still acting like middle schoolers who just got into a fight and are now fighting whenever they happen to cross paths? Over something as stupid as a fictional cookie none the less?! We're almost in 2026. This shit needs to stop!
For the love of everything unholy, don't send death threats or any kind of hate just because they won a silly contest that happens every year! It ultimately means nothing at the end of the day.
Y'know what? I hope black Sapphire wins more contests just because of this!
