White Villain: Today, on the way home from massacring an entire village, I saw a puppy and I…. didn’t kick it…. I wanted to…. but for some reason…. I didn’t.

Fandom: THERE’S STILL GOOD IN HIM!!!! REDEMPTION ARC HERE WE COME!

Hero of color: Today, I saw a puppy that had been hit by a car, poor thing. I know first aid, so I felt obligated to help. It’s leg was broken so I fashioned a splint out of some old boards and the shirt of my back before I took him to a Vet clinic for further care.

Fandom: …..So what you’re saying is that A VETERINARIAN WASN’T THERE WHEN YOU PERFORMED THE SPLINT? Don’t you know that if you do a splint wrong the bone might heal wrong if you don’t have a Vet check it at the earliest possible time? I know that’s what you did but imagine if you hadn’t! What a fucking idiot. How can anyone like this character?

There are probably people reading this post thinking it’s describing a hypothetical situation in an attempt to demonstrate how fandom works but…

It’s real

I was there

This is a thing that actually happened

who can forget that one time when Teen Wolf fandom’s most renowned meta writing group tried to convince us that Scott McCall saving that poor dog was irresponsible and unacceptable, and that he put the dog’s life at risk just to show off and play hero, and that it was a mark of true Evil™

in the making
