I have no emotional connection to Harry Potter, so it’s easy for me to dismiss someone who says “my Harry Potter A/B/O fanfic with 50 views on AO3 doesn’t support J.K. Rowling.” I could say “stop writing it anyway” and not feel bad, because I wouldn’t write it. I try to remind myself that they’re actually right, and that even if their fic isn’t “important,” there’s no harm if they keep writing it.
I have no emotional connection to gun collecting, so it’s easy for me to dismiss someone who says “my unloaded gun on a display rack doesn’t kill people” . . .
