A thing I see a lot that I think is sad is antis believing that it is morally correct and required to “outgrow” their favorite characters from childhood just because they grew up and the characters didn’t. You would think this is the one situation out of all that antis would be understanding of, but they’re not. Every time I see an anti talk about how much a character got them through and how much of a struggle it’s been to stop loving them because they’re an adult now and it’s “creepy” and “predatory” or “pedophilic” I just… *motions wildly* it’s so frustrating! I can’t imagine feeling that way and it’s sad to see them punish themselves for no reason like this. I’ve even seen some antis write entire disclaimers about how they now view this character ‘totally platonically and not in a “weird” (aka romantic or sexual) way’ on their posts about their childhood favorites and it’s just so unbelievably frustrating in a way I cannot put into words.
