good call, anon, good call ❤️ i consider myself pretty lucky bc i had a circle of good sane and supportive friends in the fandom and tended to stay away from hate and discourse but MAN the things i witnessed secondhand... the antis and adam haters drove even the strongest person crazy, and it felt like a very competitive atmosphere to create in, even when you were a fan of the most popular pairings. i suppose most fans are laying low bc of the content hiatus but they're probably gonna get right back to stirring up shit once the OVA drops. i guess at some point i just got tired of everything related to sk8, to the point that i had to mute the ship i was once obsessed with :') unfortunately i don't choose what my brain finds interesting, but maybe that changes with the arrival of the OVA, who knows! i still get kudos from time to time on the fics i wrote for the fandom, and it makes my heart warm even with the disconnected i feel towards the source material 🥹 anyway, nice to hear you liked the anime as well (I'm assuming lol)!!
