I mean, if it were me - and it's not - I'd define bad actors in fandom by their behavior, not some belief system.

you mean bad actors like, say, someone who insults a stranger right off the bat for making a post they disagreed with, then proceeding to demand said stranger conform to their preferences?

you insulted me by saying I only care about fiction affecting reality if I can use it to dunk on someone. explain to me how that's not a hostile opening statement.

it was adversarial for sure, but not ad hominem. it was based on your self-serving recitation that omitted any kind of counterpoint. i'm sorry (i guess) if you took that personally rather than as a moment to reflect on whether you could have been more considered.

ad hominem would be me going into your bio and trying to cut down your credentials. maybe

I'd argue your credentials are relevant to the conversation; if you're purporting to be someone versed in social media and fandom discourse and your first move is to act like a troll, I'm going to think 'that person probably knows way less than they think.'

you say that like checking the bio of the stranger in your mentions to see if they've got any relevant expertise or just to figure out, you know, WHO THEY ARE is a gross violation of privacy or somehow Not Done

note my cunning use of the word 'like,' which means I'm not claiming to be quoting you directly but am rather saying 'this is how you are coming across.'
