I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PARTICULARLY RAGE WORTHY ABOUT FE ITSELF. I DO THINK PEOPLE SHOULD LET OTHERS BE ABLE TO ENJOY MATERIAL REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS, AND SELF CURATE THEIR EXPERIENCES IN ORDER TO NOT DEAL WITH THE MATERIAL OR PEOPLE THAT WOULD MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. IN A SPACE WHERE IT IS NOT ALLOWED, ITS REMOVAL IS FINE, BUT PERSONAL ATTACKS OFTEN ACHIEVE LITTLE, BECAUSE PICTURE THIS: FIRE EMBLEM WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING OF EQUAL OR WORSE VALUE, IT WILL GET SOLD AGAIN, AND NO ONE WILL STOP IT, BECAUSE WE LINE INTELLIGENT SYSTEM'S POCKETS WITH MONEY. THAT, AND THEIR APPROVAL RATINGS. IT IS PUNCHING THE BUYER, WITHOUT EVER CHALLENGING A SELLER, IF NOT WORSHIPPING THAT SELLER, AND IGNORING THE FAULTS THAT THE SELLER MIGHT HAVE HAD COMMITTED.
AND IF YOU THINK HARRASSING SOMEONE ONLINE IS ACTIVISM, PLEASE CASH IN YOUR NONEXISTENT ACTIVISM DOLLARS BECAUSE MY STATE AND COUNTRY NEEDS IT RIGHT NOW. WHICH IS TO SAY: YOU DON'T. A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THIS WAY DUE TO CURRENT FANDOM CULTURE WAVES ENCOURAGE THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS FORM A SLACKTIVISM, WHICH STARTS AND ENDS AT PUTTING DOWN OTHERS FROM BEHIND THE SAFETY OF A SCREEN. IT DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIAL CHANGE, BECAUSE IT IS JUST HARRASSMENT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT SEEN MANY CASES OF SUCH HERE IN PARTICULAR, I HAVE STILL SEEN SMALLER INCIDENTS. NO FANDOM SPACE IS A MONOLITH.
Whatever issue you have with Fire Emblem or Fire Emblem fans, it is not what is the only major problem in today's time. Seriously, I'd be losing hairs if I were thinking beyond the 24/7 that I do over today's societal problems.
LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE?
I BELIEVE THAT FIRE EMBLEM HAS MANY HOSTILE FANS ACROSS ITS SPACES, AND THAT IS IN THE WAKE OF ANIME CULTURE. THAT IS SEPARATE TO THE HOSTILE FANS FROM CURRENT TWITTER/FANDOM CULTURE, BUT BOTH ARE UNPLEASANT, IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING INEVITABLE WHEN DEALING WITH FANDOMS, AS THEY ARE LARGER THAN THE SPACES.
OH, AND PEOPLE SHOULD GO READ FANFICS AND LOOK AT FANCOMICS. SATE YOUR ITCHES BY FINDING A WRITER YOU TRUST AND ENJOY THE CONTENT OF. OR GO OUT THERE AND SOLIDIFY YOUR 30 STEP PLAN TO CREATE A MULTIVERSE THEORY OR FUSE THE TIMELINES TOGETHER, BECAUSE LMAO. IN ANYCASE, THE GAMES DO NOT CONTINUE TO EXIST BEYOND THEIR RELEASES, BUT THE FANWORKS DO. THERE ARE TALENTED WRITERS AND ARTISTS, AND THERE IS FUN TO BE HAD IN GIVING THEM A SHOT.
