I think my biggest problem with Billy-antis at this point isn't that they hate the character. They can. I may not agree with them, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
So, no, it's not that.
It's how they're full of bias and prejudice towards Billy fans.
They come at us convinced they know exactly who they're dealing with. We're straight, white women. Shallow, unintelligent, extremely conservative, homophobic and, of course, racist.
There's not even a sliver of doubt that they have us all figured out.
Little do they know how I've met some of the sweetest, kindest people of all skin colors, genders and sexual orientation in the Billy fandom.
People who organize fundraisers, who take care of each other, who could not be further from the political right if they tried.
I've met compassionate people who feel empathy with a flawed character. Who acknowledge his flaws and don't pretend they don't exist at all.
Billy Hargrove deserved better.
But, quite frankly, you guys out there deserve better too.
