I haven't done a post where I rage and moan about something mind-bendingly stupid in awhile, so here goes, brace yourself for me bemoaning galaxy-brained individuals being foolish.
Recently, some evidence came out some people were sockpuppeting, and I advised who gave me the information to report it to Wikia Staff.
For the crime of doing so, I got comments on this blog (which I have site moderation on to prevent) and my DeviantArt account saying I need to be lynched and got middle finger emojis, all for having the audacity to give some common sense advice to someone.
Apparently, just doing my job on Wikia is enough to get people to want to see me swing from a gibbet.
Honestly, if that is what I deserve for that, I'd love to know what these insanely butthurt people think should happen when I do something that is actually wrong.
I also got another instance where someone I blocked for being a raging jackass contacts me on Reddit to alternate between asking me to unblock them and acting like a total douchecanoe at the same time. Ironically, they almost had me convinced to do so until they just couldn't wait for me to respond (I wanted to think it over for a day or so) before they followed up their appeals with being insulting, which makes me hope and pray they never become a diplomat, they will certainly cause another World War with that attitude.
The sad part in both cases is people getting absurdly angry over posting on WIKIA, of all places. It's got some good wikis and some good editors, but it's also chock full of insanely angry children (and in some cases this is quite literal, others are just highly immature adults) who take their precious posts so seriously there that any threat to their continued ability to post whatever they please means they honestly believe the targets of their ire deserve death and abuse, no matter the legitimacy of why their edit ability may have been restrained.
I don't know what to say to this, aside from the fact that if these people are taking something like that this seriously, they could stand to find a much less stressful hobby.
