It’s sad I even have to make this post
I want to say that I have never been as verbally-abused as I have been by people on this website. I have people telling me I am trash (and names I wont even repeat) for loving Billy Hargrove of Stranger Things.
I have tried my best to block them and focus on the positives but the number of people I have had to block for this shit is growing every week. 79 is the current count. I literally just added two today.
These people hate me for loving a problematic character but I gotta say, THEY are problematic as fuck. And Billy is fictional, so what is their excuse?!
So, I gotta be honest and say I am angry that I have to deal with this shit; but I am also somewhat used to this (I grew up being abused, so my heart goes out to Billy also for that reason, but I digress) but I’m just thinking of someone who is not used to this. I’m thinking there might be younger people in this fandom who really struggle with self-worth and these 79+ people could be doing some real damage. And that makes me want to hulk out in rage.
Why do we have so many garbage people in this beautiful fandom?
