shades of gold
- no but like. that is literally almost the entire fandom.
i don't know if you were aware of it (because it was mostly within the rp community, i think?) but people were getting death threats and being told to die and just being generally harrassed because rumor had it that they did or didn't ship a certain thing. even that issue aside, a majority of the fandom also glorifies ***** and abusive relationships.
(and thank you! the main character i roleplay as is auruo, though.)
- I’ve found the Hetalia fandom to be much of the same. Though I haven’t experienced it personally with the AoT fandom (yet) but I have time-and-again with the Hetalia fandom. I suppose that is because I have yet to actually RP AoT or try to do so. I’m rather leery when it comes to RPing series because I am afraid of the less understanding fans of the fandom—the kind that you mentioned with the threats and things.
I don’t know why people get so huffy over pairings. I mean, if you want to defend your pairing, fine. But that doesn’t mean you have to be an a** about it, y’know? I don’t have a single ship, I have an armada and if I don’t ship something someone else does, that’s fine. I respect their right to ship what they want and don’t get huffy over it. I guess it is too much to expect the same in return though as I still get growls.
Ah, haha. Auruo. I love that man too.
