Am I going mad or is this person’s reply to me (left screenshot) extremely condescending???

User @ chrysaliscreation on Threads replied to my post about Lucy/Ruth with this comment:

“Ok so just a clarification. This is a remake of the 1922 silent film Nosferatu. This is not Dracula, Bram Stoker’s version or otherwise. So you're not going to see the same characters because this is an utterly different story. ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

Respectfully, your fanged friend. 😉 “

My reply was: "Yes? I know? That’s why I included the names that were the equivalent of Stoker’s characters. I clearly wrote that Ruth Harding was the Nosferatu version of Lucy, Ellen Hutter was Mina, etc. Goodness. I’m unsure why you left this comment, and it seems a little condescending... even with the emojis and the 'respectfully.'"

The second comment continues:
"It’s honestly not an open secret that this movie was an adaptation of Dracula trying to get around the refusal that Stoker’s widow gave at the same re: making a film adaptation. I’m very aware of this. I really don’t understand why you are 'correcting' me here?"

Yuck. Yeah that's not a person I'd enjoy talking to about things. It's the "🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤♥️" for me.

Don’t think we can 100% determine without a first post. But, yeah. Seems likely it’s explaining something it’s clear you already knew and/or wasn’t necessary to explain.
