How many times do creators have to tell you this?
How many times do I have to post PEOPLE ARE NOT THINGS?
Stop. Toxic behavior and believing creators and storytellers owe YOU something, and if you don't get it, you take it personally; Just. Stop.
You are hurting people. https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1334789337368592384

You do not own a story that you don't create.
You do not own a game you do not play in.
Buying a subscription and merch, and following online does not give you ownership of ANY of this.
You feel you have a relationship with them personally.
I'm sorry - you don't.

Consuming a product does not create a personal relationship with the creator.
Well-known creators with large social media following are still people; your nastiness *IS* seen.
Stop. You have & will continue to drive people away from creating at a time when it is sorely needed.

I say all this, feeling like I'm screaming into th evoid (albeit operatically).
Because I've said it so many times before. Much bigger creators & entertainers than I in this space have said it SO MANY TIMES BEFORE.
And yet it continues.

And when we talk about mental health, and how all this can exacerbate (or create) issues for us, the same people lash out that, "You're a public figure! Sit there and take it!"

Just. Stop.
And when someone DOES finally say something - like Matt does here, or in response to a tweet you 'never thought they'd see', just sit down, shut up, and freaking LISTEN.
STOP TREATING PEOPLE AND THEIR ART LIKE THINGS YOU OWN.
