There was a post I saw on Tumblr saying you don't love Star Wars unless you hate Star Wars, and I feel it in my soul. That goes double when it comes to SW fandom, which is full of flaming hot takes like "Ben Solo is the male lead of the sequel trilogy uwu" and where I get yelled at for suggesting that Kylo Ren is a villain--on a community dedicated to Finn, no less.
Don't get me wrong, I do seek out SW fan spaces like communities, but I make very sure that I know who is involved and in particular who the mods are. A community can stay reasonably active with just a few members, but an instance requires more people and in SW that usually means trouble whether it's the Kylo Ren cultists or the "thou shalt ship the right ships" purity police. Jesus I hate them both.
I actually thought of you when the Dr. Doom strip circulated and the mod made him our mascot, since I only really knew of him through you! XD
