Okay, fuck it!
Here are my thoughts on why energy is low.

1. Fandom is not a cult & should never be run like one, look to Zode, she seems to have a hang of what it takes to manage people.

Prof is never condescending in calling out bs, & she knows how to deescalate tension.
The world could be falling apart but rarely would you know what Zode’s true feelings on a matter are.

2. But a lot of you fucking had the guts and balls to compile names of elites you had disagreed with and tagged her to the same, asking her to block them.
Why the actual fuck?
3. Nobody likes to be stifled by the same thing they voluntarily chose.

The earlier you realise that elites are not a homogeneous group, the better for you.

Furthermore, while you may have your love for Erica in common, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to stanning.
3. (contd) So, save for when a teammate goes rabid and debased, you're not allowed to police adults.

4. That comment about sheepahs was tactless and unnecessarily dismissive.

While I understood where she was coming from, I still maintain that she could have handled it better.
4. (contd) The bit about knowing only elites: again, that was tactless.
It didn't only give the mean bobs in your team unnecessary clout, it also disempowered the fans who double as shippers.

And I understand why most shippers felt slighted & have continued to feel that way.
5. The military regime narrative/bants are dangerous.

The worst thing that can happen is for fans to fear or walk on eggshells around their fave.

It is tiring and at some point, fans would rather err on the side of caution by not engaging at all than risk getting blocked.
