Curate, connect, and discover
Right, I need to say my piece on the recent Asagiri drama.
I wasn’t going to say anything because I try to avoid fandom drama as it only takes away my enjoyment. However, I decided to do so anyway. I know I don’t have a large audience or post very often, but I would really appreciate it if people spread the word.
Do not. Under ANY circumstances, send threats, harass or anything of the sort to Asagiri or anyone involved in the creation of BSD.
It is rude. It is bad internet and fandom etiquette. It ruins the enjoyment for both the creators AND fans alike.
In a worst case scenario, it could lead to the premature end of BSD. (I’ve seen it happen before and it never ends well.)
This sort of thing is becoming a real issue in this fandom, especially as it grows. And I find it to be immature and pathetic behavior.
I understand liking your ships, I too have ships, but we must keep in mind that BSD was never supposed to be about romance or ships. It’s not a romance series.
Be respectful of Asagiri and the creators. Show your support of the series instead of sending hate and negativity when something happens that you don’t like. If you must, use that energy to make meaningful and respectful critique, or simply disengage. This applies with fandom content for the series as well.
It’s the polite and respectful thing to do. And it fosters a better community for everyone involved.
