i think the damangela hate train since last year is the reason i disant myself from smoshtwt and block those who were part of that fuckass hate train. mind u i dont even ship damangela myself,, i just don't like the mean spiteful energy the other shippers were to them, and it's affecting me a lot.
Yeah like their negativity affects more than just damangela fans, and I don't think they realize that. They want to annoy Damien and damangela fans with their rudeness but are really affecting pretty much everyone who isn't involved in the "joke." I mean you aren't even a damangela fan/shipper and it's affecting you like I'm really sorry it's bringing you down too when you aren't even the one they're trying to target. Their hatefulness is really so unnecessary 90% of the time and it's just hard to be around too much. Like I don't even have twitter but just like to lurk in my fandoms' twitter fanbases sometimes but I really can't go over there too long without just getting annoyed. I recommend just keeping your distance from and blocking anyone who's being too mean or aggressive tbh. I'm sure there are plenty of normal people on smoshtwt once you weed through the loud mean ones lol.
And like I know smoshblr isn't perfect, but I feel like any negativity just stays on @smosh-fessions (or even like @smoshsfavoritepizzaplace bc that blog has lowkey turned into another confessions page recently lol), but that makes sense because confession pages are breeding grounds for negativity. But that's pretty much the only place where people are negative here and any time anyone DOES say anything mean, it's met with 10 people being like "wtf dude stop" instead of 10 people piling on like on smoshtwt. Idk I just wish they realized they just look like bullies over there and aren't being "cool" or "funny" by being rude.
"y'all are weird about damangela" no, but y'all are weird about people that don't like damangela.
“y’all are weird about people that don’t like damangela” no y’all are weird about people who LIKE damangela. That’s the only reason why there’s any discourse in the first place. idc if you don’t like damangela if you just move about your day when you see damangela content. I’m not trying to make people like them if they just don’t vibe with them. I care when you spread hate for no reason. If I don’t like a ship, I simply ignore it and scroll past when I see it, not bring it up just to make fun of it every chance I get.
You and your shipper friends are not acting normal about damangela. That's why people make fun of you!
Honestly, I don't think we're weird about damangela. I'm just pointing out cute moments like everyone else. For example, the Perfect Person podcast where Angela told that story about getting drunk at the company Christmas party and having a deep conversation with Damien telling him how grateful she is for him and how much she loves him and their company. I don't talk about how I think they are secretly in love or secretly dating or anything and have even specifically referred to them as friends (and even shut someone down who talked about how they thought Damien was flirting with Angela fr). If I ever talked about them in a more romantic shippy way I have made it exceptionally clear that I am talking about fanfic or that I am kidding and don't actually think they have feelings for each other.
Also literally yesterday I put "#I love how much she loves her friends" in the tags of a video of Angela looking at Damien where if I was "not acting normal" about them, it would've been a perfect opportunity to say something completely different, but instead kept it platonic because I just appreciate their dynamic and them as a duo. I'm not one of those people trying to push them together and say they MUST date or something. Again, I'm just pointing out cute moments between my faves just like everyone else does for their favorite duos. And even the ones who do ship them more and do see/say things in a more romantic sense, are being relatively normal. No one is trying to force it onto them or anyone else or is trying to stalk them to "prove they're secretly together" or anything. Like they just see cute moments and go "aww that's so cute they're cute together I ship it!" and that's it. You're on tumblr in one of the most ship-positive/multiship fandoms like I really don't think we're doing anything *that* different from anyone else here honestly.
