I saw a hatetumblr tonight. They stated their goal was to be assholes to people in certain fandoms. It’s apparently run by three young women who are on a mission to expose stupid people in fandom. I was struck by a lot of thoughts while I scrolled through it for about 38 seconds.
1) Oh fuck. I am so glad that I was never that shitty of a person. I look back on my past and ya I have done a lot of problematic shit but I never set out with a focus to just be a dick to other people. So ya know high-five to past me. At least we did that right.
2) What is it with people who want to kill light? Do some people just not get how hard life is? Do they not get that if people find happiness in something then they should hold on to that for as long as they can? Why would you ever want to squash light , happiness, and the ability to escape the horrors of life for a few seconds? Why?
3) Those kids are in for a rude awakening one day. One day they’ll understand why they’re being truly reprehensible people. I just hope it’s not before they’ve ruined their (or God forbid others) lives. And I feel bad for them. I’ve witnessed some truly epic meltdowns when people finally get that they’ve been awful fucks and it’s not pretty.
4) I am just too old for this shit.
