ngl that dazai anon™ reminds a little of myself when i was hyperfixated on a specific character and would go on to guilt trip every single fic writer who dared to kill her

but like... i was 10

Oh I relate to this so hard in the sense that dazai anon reminds me of my pre-teen self— when I was like 12 I went through a phase of hating on an actor who played a character I didn’t like (the actor did a perfectly fine job of portraying the character, my 12 year old brain just couldn’t differentiate between an actor who’s really good at playing an asshole and an Actual Real Life asshole).

Luckily I never harassed anyone over it, and once I outgrew that phase I was like “That was so stupid.”

anyway that’s why I keep saying I really hope the Dazai anon just outgrows this phase naturally. I think the fact that this is all taking place on the internet instead of in some private group chat between Dazai anon and their friends is making this so much worse, because it’s creating this cycle where they have to keep doubling down and the internet will never let them forget about this and outgrow it in a healthy way.

point is the internet is the REAL problem here.

#Also I sympathize a little with the feeling of an entire fandom portraying your blorbo in a way that you personally don’t vibe with #HOWEVER many many people (especially in the bsd fandom in particular) have dealt with this exact same thing #in much healthier ways #I get the feeling of “what have none of you read/watched the source material??” #“Where are you getting your characters from because these are NOT my guys from [media]” #Actually the culture shock/whiplash from watching the bsd anime with no knowledge of the fanbase and then seeing the tumblr fandom… #It was like discovering a whole different media than the one I had just watched #you don’t get it I’m secretly very ship-blind. #When I saw people shipping skk I genuinely did not understand where the idea to ship them spawned from #I was completely neutral on the ship I was just baffled by it #Like. I get it now. #But at the time I was like “why’s everyone so into these two characters specifically? Doesn’t the redhead have like 3 lines total?” #Also the fandom’s unanimous decision that Mori’s just going around torturing and abusing people #At the time I didn’t know Yosano’s backstory but regardless I was like “where is this coming from did I skip an episode or something”
