*squints* i know this is rich coming from a fan account whose whole existence is built upon the idea of fandom on Twitter

like. yo. half of the #/YesToDeathPenalty tweets are from stan twitter and reading through them you really get the impression that they don't know what they're saying (ie. they're blinded by rage and are resorting to mob mentality, not realizing that the "justice" they call
for in the form of the Death Penalty will not help at all and will actually make the situation worse).
i love stan twit most days? but ya'll pushing my patience rn.
some critical thinking would be nice.

it's so nice that a lot of the implications of these tweets are "if she hadn't been [insert fandom name here]/[one of us] we wouldn't have cared,"
the anger is felt. it is, however, ignited for all the wrong reasons.

if you went on the tag you'd know which fandom im talking about
again: no hate. just all frustration at having a bunch of misinformed people miss the point and not realize that what they're asking for is a dangerous dangerous thing that will set us back DECADES

we are all gonna die and it's because some misinformed person on the internet decided to broadcast their jumbled up feelings of anger and sadness online instead of processing them in a healthy manner
hALF OF THE TWEETERS ARE KIDS, children/teens who have been confronted (very abruptly) by something horrible and traumatic and they aren't pROCESSING all of it properly.
twitter is not a great substitute for talking to another human being about your negative feelings!

twitter is cheaper than a therapist, sure. but it does zero to none in helping you process shit like a normal human being should.
get off twitter and breathe.

of course, something has to be said about other human beings' capacity to comfort a child experiencing a negative emotion and why calling them "OA" is something you should NEVER do
im digressing, but srsly. group think and mob mentality happens due to negative emotions going unprocessed and dangerous actions/lashing out as a biproduct of that unprocessed negative emotion being enabled and encouraged by echo chambers!!
step off twitter, kids
go and have a deep long breath in a corner and find a trustworthy human being who is willing to hear you out and help comfort you. i swear, you will feel so much better and think so much clearer afterwards.
