Bullshit is going on. Stressful, unnecessary bullshit.
Let me just say it now, loud and proud: I. Do not. Like. Karofsky. I will never like him, no matter what direction his redemption story goes in. I cannot, and will not, forget about his actions, his violence against his fellow students, or anything else. I cannot. I don't hate those who do, although I do admit, I wonder about them. But no one should expect me, or anyone else, to like him just because he's a poor, sad, confused little boy who's lashing out to hide his sexuality. Or whatever they're saying.
And you know, I don't even post about him, like, at all. (All of this is on tumblr.) The last time I did was around Christmas. I don't like him; why would I want him on my blog? I let the people who like them go about their day without harassment. But I post one little thing about another character's reaction to him, and my blog post is being ripped apart as "hateful".
Bleh. Blehblehbleh - this is too much drama. Fandom, man. Serious business.
