First of all, I didn't mean to sound inconsiderate. You know? Just. Here's how I see things.
And if the people being dogpiled aren't BNFs or haven't identified themselves as such is it still okay?
Of course not. I mean, dogpiling in general, it isn't cool. Doesn't matter who it's happening to. I didn't mean to imply that anyone should be attacked.
I have a problem with that statement. I don't believe that's what the internet is all about. I'm not trying to start an argument, but I don't believe that's what the internet and how we use it is for that. Or the ultimate purpose thereof.
Well, I'd like it to not be that way. And yeah, I've met a lot of great friends on the internet. And I love posting fic and I love blogging about how my cat has a dot next to his nose that looks like a booger. But I've just- been around too long to really be surprised anymore when I hear that someone's feelings are hurt because someone else is talking shit. And yeah, it's totally happened to me too. It's just. A matter of making yourself not care. Sucks that that's how it has to be, but that's how it has to be. When you put yourself out there on the internet, eventually, you're gonna get shittalked. I mean, I'm not being an ass when I say that, because really- I'm not an ass. I'm really not an ass. I hope you believe that. I just kind of- you know, I've been there. And it sucks. I've had friends who've been there, and that sucks even more. But. It happens. Dwelling on it and making posts about how unfair it is never, ever changes the fact that it's going to fucking happen.
It totally sucks. But this is getting so much attention, and just. This shit happens everyday. To lots and lots of people. That's the nature of the internet.
