love how whenever something inexcusably bad comes out, made by someone even more inexcusably bad…. there’s a thousand posts saying “Let it die. Deprive it of attention and exposure! Do absolutely nothing to spread awareness of it. Don’t even pirate it. Do not write or read fic based on it, no matter how scathingly critical the fic is of all the work’s most terrible aspects and all the creator’s most horrible intentions. Just don’t talk about it at all”

and… in every single one of these cases… if it were not for all these scathingly critical posts spreading awareness…. I would have gotten to remain idyllically unaware that the thing in question ever existed
