Hi, I'm the anon you so respectfully responded to (about the discourse stuff), and I just wanted to say, thank you? Like, I am so the same way, and I definitely did not see what you had seen. I actually only saw people saying things like 'I hate t0p/bttm discourse', and really not seeing, well, I guess the discourse YOU saw. And whenever I did see it, it was people tweeting in response to it, and suspiciously sounding like they were talking about the initial post. And while the initial poster could've picked their words, perhaps, a bit better, it didn't feel like it was targeted with any condemning or malicious intent (not in a serious way, at least). However, I didn't realize there were others who, in response to that tweet, felt vindicated to act as if there were any 'wrong' or 'right' way, and to abhorrently shit on the opposite dynamics simply for existing, especially when said opposite dynamics is the less popular one. It's frustrating. I've actually been there (as someone who typically does lean one way or the other with dynamic preferences for ships), so I get it, lol.

You're 100% correct, though, you have all the right to make a post on your own opinion, and that the response wasn't any type of 'overreaction', I was wrong to call it that. I apologize for behaving in, well, a rather hypocritical way. I suppose I was taking my frustration out on you that the initial post sparked anything in the first place. I'm in the same boat as you in regards to just being sick of it in general. I'm sorry you had to deal with others coming on here to hate instead of ignoring the post you had every right to make, and moving on :(

I know you wanted nice questions sent, and while I'm (pretty) sure I'm not being mean, I doubt you appreciate the reminder, so I'm sorry about sending you this, but I couldn't resist with how nice you were! Please, have a lovely day~ :3 <333

Hi! I appreciate this so much! It feels really good to have an actual conversation and not just get yelled at lol.

I appreciate the apology, and I hope you can see where i’m coming from that it felt a little unfair to me for people to tell me I can’t complain because … people have the right to complain? idk lol, and again thank you!

I understand that we’re all seeing different things, and so we’re often missing context, so no worries about anything :) I’m sure that there were a lot of really nice and normal posts and interactions that I was not seeing, but alas … the algorithm was not on my side this time.

Thank you again for being so nice 🩷 and I hope you have a good day too!
