- ppl will always want to defend their friends
- even if not ideal it's NORMAL to have a fight or flight response to potshots from ppl perceived to be enemies
- potshots solve nothing.

Just don't bitch publically. do not bother. It will only get your friends hurt or in drama.

important thing I've learned about fandom drama: besides trolls, ppl genuinely want to be left alone to have fun w friends

if you ignore ppl who bother you and don't stir pots, they are more likely to do the same for you.

Ppl REACT when you bitch about them. It's common sense.

Should ppl react?? Maybe not but we're all human we all have a fight or flight response when we feel attacked.

Everyone who blames someone else for overreacting is perfectly likely to overreact themselves when roles are reversed.

Just don't stir shit in the first place.
