It's gotten kind of sad recently with people I was very friendly with buying into the twisted "DA is ruined & if you disagree you're BWs bitch" and everything that stemmed from that, so I've been talking a lot more in private chats.

yeah and that happens always, the first thing those type of people say is always something like "you just can't accept criticism of something you like" and its that! I totally understand people getting mad, but there is a point where is too much

I don’t have much investment in DA, personally, but this feels like all fandoms at all times these days. It’s exhausting and slightly terrifying 💔

It’s pretty much made me consider never interacting with any fandom, because it’s the same with pretty much everything I like. If you enjoy anything the internet hivemind has decided is bad, you get made a pariah
