That's a good summation. I think it understated how much Tumblrers take their fiction at face value. It's not just "Peridot has qualities of an abuser" it's "peridot is a horrible abuser and if you like her you are trash unfollow me please"

Have you even watched SU yet?
Yeah. I wasn't /endorsing/ either of those statements.

Snape is one of the most sophisticated characters I have yet encountered in a children's book. He's really a wonderfully imagined person on so many levels.

The series ends with one of the most beautifully realized morals of forgiveness I've ever seen and it's downright hurtful seeing people roundly reject it.

People don't like their simple stories being complicated after the fact.
Or they assume it's all a Calvinist allegory and I'm all :?
Also: So there's a show on Cartoon Network called We Bare Bears, in which cartoon bears hang out and get into low-key adventure. Yarrun says it's kind of like Ed, Edd, and Eddy. I like it.
So this Tumblr artist did a drawing of the three main characters, who look like this
As humans who look like this
Anyway, she got hate mail from some people on tumblr because drawing Grizz and Ice Bear as not fat was fat-phobic, and also the races were all wrong. She quit doing so because she didn't expect a backlash for something like that.
besides, that's pretty reasonable considering their rl counterparts. Pandas are lazy layabouts, Grizzlies are powerhouses, and Polar Bears are just huge, they just are
idk how lazy someone would have to be to make this shit up when it happens like constantly and is seemingly unavoidable even to a master avoider of stupid internet things like myself
like, im starting to feel bad for telling odie and kex that they need to just unfollow more people because now this advice is proving fruitless to myself
like, the only way i could imagine avoiding things like this is just not following anybody at all and living in the woods somewhere
I disagree but I don't really feel like talkin about this at length.
Short version is that I think this stuff is stupid even if I think that in general problematic fanart is a thing that exists.
In other news this Sean P record is really good even if the presence of Caitlyn Jenner bars early on it made me cringe. Not literally, but you know what I mean.
for real though this sounds like something someone would make up and post to /r/bestoftumblr, i'm real sad that that happened.
I mean if we are operating under the assumption that furry/otherkin/etc. is an identity about examining a person's relationship with animals, mythological concepts, and fiction, to imply that one has a deep fundamental connection to, say, a character of a different race, or a mythological creature important to a different culture would strike me as at least somewhat appropriative.

dude to be totally honest with you I just don't really wanna talk about this.
if we're talking about weird fan reactions to things can we talk about the contingent of people who hate that Peridot is "a good guy" now because "presenting villains as just misunderstood people is dangerous".

my actual reaction to reading this was a long series of vowel noises and gesticulations
Granted it's an opinion I've seen expressed by maybe 4 or 5 people and I don't know if that's enough to count as a "contingent". But it was a weird thing to discover people were upset about.

Extenuating circumstances. I'd give him five in minimum security, keep him away from glamping sites and private school grounds for ten.
Yeah. I wasn't /endorsing/ either of those statements.

Tumblr sometimes.
like, they aint lean, they big people
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
2. Her drawings look diverse as they are, at least to me.
