Yeah, that was my reaction as well. She's in her 20s, but that doesn't really mean anything, I guess. I think I'm slowly coming to terms with the idea of letting go. It just bums me out. I thought explaining to her that I had no idea it was her or that she was angry, that it was all a misunderstanding, would be the olive branch. I wouldn't really know what else to do. Especially because the issue she's angry over is the most ridiculous thing ever.

No one probably cares, but: It's a slow news cycle in our fandom, especially when it comes to one particular actor, so his fans started focusing on his hair. I know. Now, lots of fans have preferences for how their fave looks, or even speculate why someone got a haircut (maybe they're in a new project?). But for this guy there's a group that seems to think they can judge his mental/emotional/psychological state by his hair. I know. The tweet I saw took it even further and said sth like: short hair makes him sad. And I'm sorry, but that's beyond ridiculous. I told my friend 'IMO that's fans obsessing and projecting'.

hahaha, wow. I'm sorry, but lol. she definitely sounds immature. I'm....not surprised to find you have to walk on eggshells around her. it seems like a friendship that only lasts for as long as you continue placating her opinions. I wouldn't find it worth it tbh, but you could try politely bullshitting her from time to time and dial it back to just a friendly fandom acquaintance relationship rather than a meaningful friendship. keeps the drama low, but you still have someone to gush with.

Looking back, I find I already sort of had to dial back certain opinions or accept stuff I'd usually find stupid. But yeah, I have no one else to gush or talk about this stuff with, so I put up with it. This is a bit too far though.
