#both because we know we'd be bombarded with 'but but but etc'

i think i follow one of the mods for dailyniallnews and she's definitely not a larry? i'm not sure about any other mods, but she in particular is not.
I know that one of the DNN admins is not a Larry, but she panders to them and ok with them and their content as long as they love Niall and positive about him .
Fandom is gonna have to make their peace about whether this is the culture they want to support.
When conspiracy theorists openly flock to and recommend one UA because they know it won’t offend them (because its mods haven’t or won’t take a stance against conspiracy theorism - and recall Niall is subject to their conspiracy theorism too; it’s in all our houses), and specifically “refuse” to use another UA because its mods are NOT conspiracy theorists - therefore engaging in the exact same behavior the BLB was enacted to provide as an option to anti-conspiracy theorists - is the outcome for fandom significantly different than if the mods were outspoken conspiracy theorists, versus being quiet about it in their position as mods of the account?
It is my position, after years of observation, that it is not.
But, hey, everyone should make their own choices, and the next time conspiracy theorists do something gross enough and big enough that it impacts one’s fave and people ask, “what can we do?” we can continue to not know.
