#Also yes this might partly be about that recent reddit thread where they're convinced that Will won't get a good love story

Some bylers, specially here, are doing an awesome job making people who initially refuse to see byler as a possibility become byler truthers (that dude @angelwithnightmares converted on Facebook will always be iconic). However, if you ever stumble upon a very strong headed anti byler and you try to explain your points to them, but they keep being rude, dismissive and close minded, don't waste your energy trying to convince them. If you're getting tired or feeling bad about them being so aggressive while refusing to listen to any of the points you're making, don't keep torturing yourself.
When vol 2 aired and Mike's monologue happened, I didn't lose hope but I knew from that exact same moment that milktits/anti bylers were gonna hold on to that confession for dear life until season 5 came out. And it's very reasonable from their POV, since it's the only thing slightly "romantic" looking they got this season. I'm sure byler is way more obvious for every person watching this show, even if the biggest antis refuse to accept it. That's the thing, even if they know there's a chance it's endgame, while debating with you they will never accept the obvious setup in season 4 because that would hurt their pride.
This doesn't happen only with ship wars, I think it's more of a strong headed, narcissistic people trait, wanting your opinion to always be right. Some milkvans have been convinced and converted to byler because they are more open minded people generally in every aspect of their lives. However, those strong minded and usually homophobic anti byler dudes on Reddit we've been talking about here for the past couple of weeks are so condescending and annoying every time someone explains to them why byler makes sense, because a big portion reddit users consists of grown up losers who have never matured and therefore have a gigantic ego. They will try to be right in every topic, not only milkvan vs byler, and they will run with any chance they have to if it means they can delude themselves into thinking they're obviously the ones in the right.
That's why, when I see bylers especially on reddit write incredible explanations on the reasons why byler is happening (and completely humiliating the reddit bros' reasonings, I have to add), they will always be downvoted to hell and be told that nothing they're saying makes sense. They have the love confession, they are gonna use it as proof until the show itself shows how bullshit it actually was. I'm sometimes annoyed by that monologue's existence exactly because of this. I know that it's a perfect set up for byler endgame, but I absolutely abhor the way people are latching onto it. Think about it, if milkvans didn't get that love confession at all and we based the state of their relationship for the rest of their season 4 scenes alone, they wouldn't be "so obviously set up as endgame" as they say.
They know this, trust me, but they won't listen to you. But you're not delusional, you're not dumb. Don't waste energy fighting them, this is basically the last year they have of thinking that milkvans is endgame, and after that they'll be the ones suffering (and some of them will deserve it). So focus on enjoying the way, creating or consuming art and being proud of being actually intelligent.
