You know what really troubles me? It's when people say that DE shippers are the worst fans: rude, disrespectful, aggressive, intolerant of others who don't ship DE etc...don't they realise that there are people like that in EVERY fanbase, including THEIRS? Months ago I contacted a Bamon fan who re-posted an article of ours on their spot (btw, it was sort of about them), along with some 'choice' comments (mine), asking her to take it down. The effect it had on most of the Bamon fans who commented was akin to dangling a piece of raw meat in front of a pack of ravenous hyenas. While there were one or two who didn't think the article should have been re-posted on their spot, the grand majority took the whole thing as licence for a 'DE bashing free-for-all'. That was months ago, and the article got removed. I never got a reply, so I assumed the Bamon fan didn't have anything to say to my (long) message to her. Earlier this week, to my amazement, I received a reply. She didn't give me any reason for why she had re-posted an article of ours without the author's knowledge, or what her motivations were. She just said, didn't I know that DE fans have said way worse things about Bamon? I asked in my reply to her, even if DE fans have said worse things, is that a good excuse or reason for basically inciting yet more hatred? There will never be a time when all fandoms are friends, but they can learn to tolerate each other. As long as people deliberately stir up trouble or incite ship wars, that will never happen. People need to get over this 'blame game' of saying 'Well, YOU'RE worse than we are, so there' - that's childish and stupid. I don't know if DE fans say worse things about Bamon. But I know in the past, Bamon fans have not been exempt from saying bad stuff about DE shippers. Pretending that they're better than we are is a big fat lie.

Sometimes you just need to let it out....
Just one rule: NO BASHING OF SHIPPERS. NONE. Do not use specific SNs or target posters.
