I'd honestly be a little wary nonny, people that say 'I want x character to be shot' and that go out of their way to bully people out of any meaningful conversation about said character often turns into 'I distrust and wish harm upon fans of this character and anyone that makes art of him or writes ships with him and my favorite blorbo, ect ect'. I'd make sure to stay on anon wherever this is taking place.
I wish this was just me imagining this and being paranoid, but I keep seeing direct examples of this kind of harassment escalate in fandoms I'm in or adjacent to.
"But, looks like the only solution is to cook more food of my fave blorbo and seek out other like-minded people, even if the anti-blorbos will forever mald about it. And... make more fandergs of my faves."
+100 this is the correct answer. A closed invite-only discord for people that want to talk about your fandom that pass the low low bar of they haven't even told anyone to kill themselves over x character on Twitter is an great time, actually. And receipts of anyone acting otherwise should be passed around so everyone knows the assholes to avoid.
