Many of us, like me and my fiancé  WolfgerLion64, have lives beyond the internet, and so as time passes and we go on about our days, some things don't catch our attention, or we don't really stay up to date about some stuff.

Recently, an apparently well-known YouTuber named "Dream" decided to reveal his face after being behind a simple smiley mask/persona for a while, and the internet is just going wild about it (reveal video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtpdMkKvB6U ) with strong reactions in support of (and against it). On one hand, good for him and his fans, but on the other hand with the criticism, "really? people starting a shitstorm over this? 9-9;;" (Apparently that is what's also happening)

And now, my fiancé has been beaten down by a so-called "friend" simply because Wolfger's reaction to the news was generally more-or-less a "meh", kind of like me...which I imagine would be the reaction for many of those that don't follow internet trends, cultures, stars, etc., even more so when we're not ardent fans or followers of one person or group. So I can imagine to a degree how that conversation would go if someone starts up about something very huge and a big deal in one's eyes, only to be disappointed if the reaction from others is that aforementioned "meh" if they either haven't heard much or are just not interested in it. Believe me, I've had that happen, but I quickly dampen my emotions and expectations to have a more level-headed conversation (or just avoid it altogether if I already know the person isn't interested in the same things I am or not as much as me).

But I digress...

This "friend" beat down my fiancé as the latter simply restated his opinion and wanted to agree to disagree on one another's hype (or lack thereof) over the event in question...but they continued to try and beat Wolfger down, and ended the conversation by saying how hurt they was for "their feelings being downplayed" and "our friendship is trash".

...

I will not name names, but I will say aloud here to that person (you know who you are) and those like them... it's not all about you!!!

I have no tolerance for people like that; to me, this conversation is an example of two things: "Cancel Culture" bullshit, where a person should be made to feel like shit and be forced out of society simply because their reaction isn't 100% perfect or they fumble over a Straw Man Argument that comes completely out of the blue...and manipulation of one's mental/emotional issues to try and get attention to one's self, only to then belittle/betray that trust if that attention is not to your absolute liking. Both strike a chord with me because this isn't the first time this "friend" has done this, and Wolfger has dealt with toxic relationships in the past over this...

If this is how you are, and how you will act or behave towards people, let alone my friends and loved ones, I want nothing to do with you, and want you to just leave us alone. It is clear that you need some help...far better help than what you can find online, and engaging in this behavior is not helping you...

I do sincerely hope you get that help and support and become a better person in the future to where we can be friends, but until then...this bridge is closed. Good bye...
