Bro this happened to me recently and I’m still like ???? about itso a bit ago I posted an essay on ao3 breaking down the dynamics to one of the biggest ships in my fandom and showing, without a doubt, with evidence from the text (in-text citations, my beloved!) it’s canonically a toxic mess so the antis (who are naturally all about EWWWWW TOXIC!!!) who are so in love with it simply because it’s lgbt are hypocrites for shipping it (because of COURSE they ignore the toxicity *ahem* I mean sexual tension when it’s THEIR favorite, they’re the special exception to the rules)I got a comment from someone who sounds very much like an old anti I used to hang around and I’m 60% sure it actually is them. It was a first comment, and the anti I used to know deleted their ao3 account recently (I was rereading one of my old works when I saw their account was deleted) and seems to be gone off social media. Which. Good riddance. But now I think they could be anywhere.I’ve responded to all comments I got on my essay except theirs because it’s sus to me.
I feel you, fam, do not engage with any comments that you feel are sus. There’s no reason to.
Also, would love to read this essay, but I’m a nosy guy.
