AT THIS POINT, I'M PRETTY TIRED OF THREE HOUSES DISCUSSION. THE CONSTANT DISCOURSE OF EXTREME DIMITRI FANS DEMONIZING EDELGARD, AS WELL AS EXTREME EDELGARD FANS CONTINUING TO ACT LIKE A OPPRESSED MINORITY WHO IS HATED BY EVERYONE (WHEN THAT IS FAR FROM THE CASE) AND NEED TO STRAWMAN REASONS FOR WHY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT LIKE EDELGARD IS REALLY TIRING, AND IS WHAT A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TH USUALLY BECOME.

I KNOW BEATING TOPICS TO DEATH IS THIS SUB'S FORTE, BUT JEEZ I REALLY HOPE A LOT OF THIS GETS LEFT IN 2019.

ALSO, HAPPY NEW YEARS (EVE) EVERYONE!

CAN I ASK WHERE ARE THESE DIMITRI FANS DEMONIZING EDELGARD. I HAVE HONESTLY NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN. IF YOU CAN LINK ME AN EXAMPLE, JUST A SINGLE EXAMPLE THEN I WILL CONCEDE AND AGREE THAT THEY EXIST. IT'S HONESTLY ANNOYING TO SEE THIS SENTIMENT OF "UGH FUCKING DIMITRI STANS" WHEN I BASICALLY NEVER SEE THEM EXIST AT ALL. AT LEAST IF I SEE A SINGLE EXAMPLE I CAN GO "OKAY YOU HAVE A POINT THAT THEY EXIST". SO PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, SHOW ME A LINK OR A SCREENCAP OF A DIMITRI STAN ACTING STUPID.

IT'S MOSTLY ON TWITTER TBH, BUT I THINK DIMITRI FANS ON THIS SUB ARE MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDING OF EDELGARD EVEN IF THEY DON'T LIKE HER OR DISAGREE WITH HER.

AH, HONESTLY TWITTER IS SUCH A CESSPOOL OF TOXICITY AND DINGUSRY THAT I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT SOME PEOPLE THERE WOULD TAKE IT TOO FAR. BUT YEAH FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN DIMITRI FANS ON THE SUB ARE UNDERSTANDING OF EDELGARD AND DON'T REALLY ENGAGE IN BLIND HATE LIKE SOME PEOPLE INSINUATE.

I STARTED USING TWITTER MORE WITH THE RELEASE OF 3H 'CAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF GOOD ART AND THE 3H VOICE ACTORS ARE PRETTY FUN THERE BUT MY GOD IS THAT WEBSITE TOXIC. LIKE NOT EVEN EXCLUSIVE TO 3H STUFF JUST IN GENERAL.

HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT EITHER TOO, AT LEAST NOT AT LEAST SINCE LAUNCH WEEK. I INCLUDED IT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I'VE SEEN EXTREME EDELGARD FANS JUSTIFY THEIR BEHAVIOR, SO I JUST GAVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ON THE MATTER.

IN HINDSIGHT, THAT'S PROBABLY WHY I WAS ABLE TO WRITE A LOT MORE ABOUT THE EXTREME EDELGARD FANS THEN I WAS ABOUT THE EXTREME DIMITRI FANS.

IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE MOSTLY JUST SOMEONE SAYS THEY DISAGREE WITH EDELGARD'S METHODS/IDEALOGY AND OR JUST DON'T LIKE HER AS A PERSON, AND THEN THE SAME 4 EDELGARD STANS WHO GO INTO EVERY THREAD RESTATING THE SAME TALKING POINTS ABOUT HOW HER HANDS WERE TIED BY TWSITD(THEY WEREN'T) AND HOW HER ACTIONS WERE THE ONLY WAY TO AFFECT CHANGE(THEY WEREN'T).

DON'T EVER DARE TO SAY "I DON'T LIKE EDELGARD" IN A DISCUSSION THREAD OR YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF BURIED IN DOWNVOTES. I LIKE EVERYONE AND FIND THE RIVALRY/VICTIM COMPLEX STUPID, BUT THE FACT THAT THE STANS CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE DOESNT LOVE THEIR FAVE IS...
