hi i wasn’t smart enough to grab screenshots this time but can we not throw fits and harass creators for not giving a (most likely) dead character (tech) a ton of attention? it’s weird.

headcanons ruin the experience of watching a show for some of yall. it’s one thing to have ideas about the direction of a character or the plot, but the way people throw fits when things don’t go according to their headcanons is bananas and it needs to stop. you’re making this fandom worse.

we can dislike a show's direction and disagree with people's takes on those shows without misusing and devaluing important terms like ablism and fascism. tbb is obviously going to revolve around tbb, echo is objectively a cyborg, crosshair isn't a fascist. it's not cute, productive or useful to dogpile a single person for being wrong. it's ego-fueled, toxic nonsense.

i hate a lazy take as much as the next guy, but unapologetically piling on to a single person when, in many cases, they have a fraction of the following you & your buddies have is bad and makes this fandom worse. it also accomplishes nothing? these sort of bad faith & mean spirited interactions really only ever make people double down. you can have all the media literacy in the world, but if you don't use that knowledge to combat media illiteracy, it doesn't actually mean anything!

pls. think critically
