#this feels like an appropriate cap on this wild ride that was the weirdo anon drama

[tuiyla]

This isn’t meant to be offensive, so don’t read it that way. You are so amazingly good at analysis of the girl characters in glee, (irrespective of shipping,) that I don’t understand why anyone wants you to post about Klaine or the main male ships. There are plenty of people still in the fandom that can analyze or post about Kurt/Blaine/Klaine, and are more invested in their story than you? You should be left alone to write what you want to write about and enjoy what you prefer. Can the Klaine demander not understand that?

It's not offensive at all, don't worry. This is a note to all anons/peeps: I know tone can be hard to get across online but I actually take most things in good faith and give people the benefit of the doubt. This whole misery with shitty anons started when I assumed the best of them despite some red flags about tone and it escalated haha. So that's to say, don't worry, when I complain about tone it's really just because I've become wary of a certain type of ask and do not tolerate entitlement. Anons like yourself and others who made sure to point out they mean no offense are all good.

What's funny to me is that I never actually proclaimed myself a girls blog but rather embraced it when others assigned the label to me. The shoe more or less fits, after all, but I do think certain bad faith people have misinterpreted that to be so far from what it actually means. I still like most Glee characters and other anons have found in the past that when I get asked genuine questions about the boys I'm more than happy to engage and even be a platform for conversation, to an extent. The Klaine drama started, iirc, exactly because I was willing to engage but I guess not in the way some wanted, and they felt entitled to the contents of my blog.

But that said, you're right that my niche tends to be with the girls (if we must have a girls vs boys divide, I suppose) and I'm happy if people find what I have to say about them of interest. I love talking about them and that's why I write so much, and I suppose that genuine care is what makes it engaging. I've never denied my own biases while also welcoming basically all aspects of the fandom because I think all can be interesting to talk about. I got another anon a while back, who I never published but agreed with and they said this sense of entitlement might come from that fact, that I have indeed been known to be willing to talk about all aspects of the show. I just think certain bad apples have twisted that into something unrecognizable, to the point that I no longer feel like talking about The Boys is worth it for me if I don't have strong feelings anyway and it comes with so much baggage.

Ultimately, you're right, there are so many other blogs. I never have and never will understand where this entitlement came from, this borderline obsession with policing my blog when all they've achieved with their harassment is make me think twice before replying to any and all Klaine asks, as said above. And like you say, it's not like there isn't content out there. There are so many wonderful people so invested in their story and so ready to provide content. I suppose the anon harassment came from people thinking it was hypocritical of me that I say I like Klaine yet prefer the girls. As if I couldn't like them while having others as favourites ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As if people can only like one thing at a time, as if I'm obligated to prove I like something via daily reblogs or something. The argument is obviously flawed but that's the thing, they never really had a good point, they were just looking to be nasty for the sake of it. Imo. Sad thing to be so angry at the world, when you think of it. I cannot make it clear enough that I mean this genuinely, but I hope they heal.

So this reply kind of turned into a therapy session lol but yes, I see what you mean and I thank you for being reasonable. Unfortunately, no they cannot seem to understand that because they do not want to. I shall try my best to stop wasting time and energy on trolls and instead focus on stuff I do wanna do, like write so many things about Santana and Kitty and Brittana and Pezberry and gif and just, you know, whatever I want. Which does tend to be Glee girls stuff, but I'm hoping one day this blog and its ~audience~ can bounce back to being open to all civil discussions. If and when I get questions about The Boys, I'll be open to that, but my "unprompted" energy will stay with what I personally feel drawn to and therefore am best equipped to write about, analyse, gif, etc.
