Did it somehow stifle your creative activity? Did it somehow stifle ship someone else? If you don’t like him, why are you even paying attention to this, especially with such a toxic context?
Did it stifle my creativity? No—but it actively suffocates the creative space and diversity within the community by turning every corner into an echo chamber for the same recycled spam. And as for why I pay attention to it: because pointing out oversaturation, poor behavior, and forced narratives is how public spaces prevent themselves from being monopolized by toxic fandoms. If you don’t like people pointing out the structural issues with your favorite ship, well, nobody is forcing you to respond, either.
ok, So what? Sending YouTube links doesn’t change anything; it’s just the usual fan art reusing *XenO* sprites to try and force a romantic pairing that isn’t even canon. At the end of the day, boasting about high numbers doesn’t make a mediocre fanfic any better. You’d be better off just admitting that you made up the romance—since, in the original mod, they’re just best friends with no romantic interest in each other—and stop seeking validation through recycled content.
