It was hard. I'm such a loud assholes sometimes. And I wasn't gracious a lot. And it's still hard, because the work I've done that includes the whole thign very prominently is personal to me, and when there's so much people behaving badly (instead of just expressing their pain differently from me or experiencing the show differently from me or having different tastes from me) it's hard to keep track of when it's vehement disagreement and "oh my god, don't be an asshole." I try to stay away from it now too, except when it's my job not to. But yeah... it's been one hell of a thing. Amazing to experience it in the moment (I tend to come to fandoms after all this stuff has happened usually), but not maybe an event I need to have again with some other fandom.
