Please let us not import beefs from elsewhere, or associate fans expressing their preferences here with bullying elsewhere. Or insist that the only “true” fans of a character will agree with us as that does not respect the character preferences of others.

This thread also clearly touches on topics that are very difficult for many of us and it does not make it easier to keep going over and over the same ground. Please allow others the space to express how they feel (something about which they can’t be wrong) without repeatedly challenging them on that and making them feel they have to respond as that leaves us all going round in circles: quoting and directly disagreeing with others makes it harder for them to disengage than simply expressing our own, different preferences and views. And if you have already made your perspective clear and are not being challenged or questioned by other forum members, then continuing to post smacks of last wordism and threatens to spam or flood the forums: please take the high ground and move on.
