hi, i love your tumblr <3 but if you dont mind me asking, why do you think TRF is a toxic place? like, most people there are fans of core Lara. do you also think they're toxic people?
It’s because of the people who replies to threads attacking other people’s choices, opinions and tastes - or makes everything personal. In this, it doesn’t really matter if Core fans or reboot fans. I’ve met Core fans with a shameful attitude and reboot fans with an excellent attitude, so no, it’s not about the era you like, it’s having some manners and knowing how to behave.
I tried hard with TRforums but I reached a point I can’t with that place anymore. Everytime I touched a delicate matter or discuss something it becames a freaking battlefield. And I come from a fandom - the Spanish fandom - which was also extremely toxic - and their main forum was a living hell to me.
So I’m kinda done with forums. 10 years ago I left TR fandom because I couldn’t stand the situation of hate and intolerance I had to endure - the abuse other people and me experienced there reached personal levels - and I’m only back since a year ago because I felt in Tumblr I could be happier and express myself freely. That’s all.
Right now I only visit TRforums to seek some information and leave sporadic opinions, but just once in a while. I’m not comfortable in a forum anymore. Please don’t take it personal or think I’m talking about everyone in that place. It’s just a personal, general feeling.
Thanks for the love, tho. Really appreciated.
