Re: Sheltered fan rant

Wow-- I had no idea about this reaction being pretty standard. Makes me feel a bit less like a douche for reacting the way I have been.

I can totally understand about how people might feel like they're being trivialized when someone comes out with something objectively more traumatic/difficult to deal with. I really don't mean to do that at all, or have that effect, I really just want to share something about my life and how maybe it can happen irl, and maybe help others understand what might the characters be feeling.

I mean personally, I know all too well what it feels like to have your experiences downplayed or ignored in the interest of others comfort, or as an adaptive response to deal with the shit as you're living with it, so I wouldn't want other people to ever feel like their experiences don't matter. I would just like for them to understand that having experienced some things does not put them on the same level as these characters,

And thank you again; I mean, I know the idea is that everyone has a hard path to hoe, but I'm also glad I'm not a bad person for being frustrated with people's lack of perspective. I'm glad that it's okay to be upset.

(Especially with the fandom I've been tooling around in, the whole being poor has a myriad of terrifying implications that are just not a problem in more affluent circles.)
