#I know people are bound to be fired up because of the genocide in Gaza

[goat-boy]

Wow people make Käärijä a villain in the story that is actually so much bigger than our fandom or the history we’ve lived. It’s so unfair to him. I’m scared actually and hope he will be safe <3

I think he'll be mostly fine though admittedly I'm only tuned in here on tumblr. I have definitely seen some people being incredibly harsh on here as well though and I have heard that the reaction on Twitter has been way worse. (I heard people sent kä death threats, which if true is just like really??? over this?) It's just such a strange hill to die on to me.

I see it as reflective of the more recent phenomenon of people snapping at others online for what are ultimately little mistakes or just opinions that don't fit a specific mold. I've seen literally anyone being attacked just for not holding the most extreme version of a belief.

I don't think there's much cause for concern this time. Most of what I'm seeing here on tumblr is just people wanting a better apology or explanation anyway <3

#Hope you weren't referring to some of my previous tags cause in hindsight I realize I might've come off a litte aggressive at first #I suck at properly conveying tone over text lol #even worse because I was emotional #I know people are bound to be fired up because of the genocide in Gaza #but i can't honestly say I believe that video implies he sides with Israel #also just like... priorities y'know #bigger fish to fry out there than this discourse #I think the lessons here are twitter sucks especially for discourse #and we should all probably let ourselves think before we post #käärijä #only thing I love more than sharing my opinions is sharing my opinions when someone gives me a starting point so I appreciate the ask <3
