eh, it's not a huge deal. I defend people not because I want or need their gratitude, but because I think salt spaces (and the on-site forums!!) have a tendency to go way overboard just... condemning people. For things that it's understandable to be mad about but are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things and shouldn't spark this kind of vitriol and public callouts. I'm not even here to try change everyone's minds, I just want to put my point out here so that this whole thing wouldn't remain a one-sided circlejerk. I don't mind explaining myself further.
Disliking someone and finding more and more reasons to do so to the point where you want them kicked out or made to suffer, even if the subject is literally just some pixel item, is like an internet sport. Most of the time I don't even say anything. But this particular case is so wildly, wildly blown out of proportion. Like I said before. Some of you really need to reign in your feelings about this little golden gremlin.
Tbh if that's how you feel about salt spaces then you probably shouldn't take part in them. This person in particular was called out for her snarky remarks and rude replies that she constantly made as well as her behavior. She herself sort of fueled the fire. I think if she had said nothing then no one would be as upset about the situation as they are. It's kind of the Streisand Effect happening in real time here on FR.
I understand wanting to come in from the other point of view but sometimes that's just not necessary or should be defended as heavily. In this case I don't know if I would personally want to be seen defending this person. I don't think she, or anyone deserves to be harassed at all but I think you can see why people are not happy with her?
Ofc there are times when people take things too far but I don't think things would have escalated as they did without her fanning the flames. Your replies also sort of added fuel to the fire. This thread might even be dead by now had you just simple let things go. Personally I couldn't give a shit about that stupid familiar, it's ugly to me and I don't want one but it's understandable why people are upset with her actions around them.
