The one thing I noticed is that Shylily has the best fandom community.
From my interaction with them over the last couple days I realized that none of them ask questions. They don't think, they don't speculate, they don't look deeper than surface level, if even that. They genuinely and truthfully don't even know anything about the Sinder drama beyond the bare bones! They didn't read any of the docs, didn't see the counterpoints. Nothing. There's not even a hint of a desire to learn anything.
They basically turned on their communal braincell and asked: "Lily, is this true?
" like she's Grok and when she responded with a yes, they believed it as truth and left it at that. No extra thoughts necessary.
And when people like that encounter something that doesn't line up with their truth? They respond in the most base, simplistic form you can find: insults and not particularly clever ones at that.
You can just look at my previous posts how they prove my own point. They come in with personal insults and those who were willing to engage with conversation quickly devolved into insults that repeating the same thing and contradicting themselves wouldn't get them the desired results of convincing me I'm wrong. And note... I never fired insults first. It was always them. They just attack and attack and attack like a bunch of little toxic gremlins.
Shit, you'll probably see a few of them do exactly that in the comments of this very post!
They're acting as less of a fandom and more as a little juvenile cult. I hope said little cultist realize what kind of image they're giving Lily's community. Lily, obviously, doesn't care since she never bothered to adress this issue once and in fact I assume that she wholly approves of having a legion of toxic little fanboys willing to make fools of themselves for her. But more and more people start noticing and attributing their behavior to her whole community and it'll get worse the more it continues. I'm sure she will thank all these little trolls once it bites her in the ass and starts making her look bad!
Right now? I'm fully convinced it's a toxic hole of hugbox and pleeeenty of people will agree with me. But that's what makes them so good!
A legion of useful idiots.
