perhaps, just maybe, they learned to chillax and stop getting worked up over fictional people.

But wait, this is fandom, where people who care more than average about fictional people go to hang out. If we/they didn't get worked up about fictional people... fandom wouldn't exist.

I mean I agree there's a line beyond which people should maybe check themselves before saying horrible things to other people based on how they feel about a TV show.

But yeah.

Expecting people not to care at all seems unreasonable.

Maybe you haven't been around the fandom tumblr, orrr, maybe to some extent ASN, but the hate is so over-the-top and the sheer amount of energy people are putting towards it, it's -not- normal.

Like I said before, I'm now convinced people are reacting this way because they feel Mako is hurting -them-. They see themselves as Asami. They refuse for there to be any negative comment towards her character or writing, and will scream at the top of their lungs, call other people a string of expletives, just to be heard. If you make a negative comment about Asami, you're actually insulting -them-. They now firmly believe they are Asami.

The fandom thinks its Asami, and they want Mako to pay for hurting them. It's...kind of a creepy look into what the fanddom has become, on a psychological level.
