Imagine it's 2008-2010, everyone is watching Breaking Bad, and there's message boards where you can talk about it. Now imagine you are disabled and took a liking to Flynn/Walt Jr., because seeing a disabled character be treated like a person by the rest of the cast is nice, actually. But every time someone mentions Flynn in the message board, a gaggle of Walter White cocksuckers floods the replies to that post with stuff like "Oh yeah? Well, I hope Flynn gets killed in a violent way next time he gets a speaking line."
This isn't about Breaking Bad, and the analogy isn't perfect. But this is the state of another fandom discussion board I'm in, for a background character I sympathize with for different reasons (a show that also has a gaggle of cocksuckers for one of the main characters related to this background character). I just want to talk about my blorbos in peace, man. Is this a common occurrence or do the people just suck in this unnamed fandom?
