All fandoms have their own e-celebrities: individuals who are regular within selected on-line circles and communities, who've gained wonderful social standing as a result of suave gif-units, neatly-written Tumblr posts, and the like. like any other fandoms, the as soon as Upon A Time fandom has its share of e-celebrities — in addition to bitter rivalries amongst various factions. This past week, a fan who's somewhat too invested in Emma Swan and Captain Hook's relationship determined that posting gifs just wasn't adequate anymore. What's the subsequent level after that? Hacking and impersonating an Emma/Regina shipper, apparently.
This prolonged put up files the twists and turns in the alleged hacking of "ethan-eight," a familiar Swan Queen shipper (a moniker for Emma/Regina enthusiasts, given Emma's closing name and Regina's royal status). The post's exhaustive proof does not paint a beautiful photograph. Having read the complete darn thing, I'm satisfied the terrible guy bought hacked, however you're welcome to form your own opinion.
Full disclosure? I'm a Swan Queen fan myself. I'm now not energetic within the group, but I admit it: I ship 'em. The concept of Emma and Regina raising Henry collectively warms the cockles of my bitter heart. That observed, I've never felt so emotionally invested in anyone ship that I felt the need to lash out and cyber-bully individuals who disagree with me. No be counted the place your heart may additionally lie when it involves dream pairings, I suppose we will all agree this habits is not Cool.
if you ever end up getting that indignant about fandom, be aware: that you may at all times block and mute the individuals that you just don't like. all of us like what we like. depart well enough on my own.
