What are y'all thinking people are gonna do?

Storm the author's castle?

Fight them in the streets?

Tape their cat to the floor, then point and laugh?

Please explain to me the consequences. I'm so curious.

[(Anonymous)]

Some people on the internet might think OP's writer friend is silly, and we can't have that! That's tantamount to harassment!!!! /s

[(Anonymous)]

look, I don't know what's crawled your butt here but I think "there might be two sides" is a fair reaction. Your comments seem to imply that we have an obligation to take OP's side for some reason but if the secret doesn't ring true to the reader, that's just the way it is.

No, see, you're perpetuating the problem.

You aren't being required to take anyone's side. Sides don't matter because you don't know either of these people and couldn't spot them in a crowd if you tried. Even if they gave you the other side's viewpoint, you STILL could not accurately choose a side. Because you don't know these people. And you don't know their relationship.

But FURTHERMORE.

Even if you DID take a side. What, on this green earth, does it even fucking matter.

No one would be harmed if you thought a random stranger who you can't even *name* is a big ol' butthole. There are zero consequences. You could agree with OP or not agree with OP. Literally zero things will come of it. The secret maker isn't going to somehow get money or fame or, I dunno, made-up internet points for being "right." They win nothing. And the person they're talking about won't be hurt, or limited, or attacked for this secret having been made.

There are literally zero stakes to just reading this secret. If your first instinct is "I should take sides," all it tells me is you're projecting on the author and taking it personally.

NAYRT

I agree that it's broadly harmless whichever way you do react

But that goes both ways. If peoples' reaction is not to take OP at face value, that's also harmless. So then how do you justify the comments that are like "UGH I guess some people just think they're so smart and clever!! What do you want, hard documentary evidence?? Sounds like a bunch of salty fanfic writers to me!!"?
