My ISP is slow as molasses and I don't care about anonymity anymore so:

I'm not really calling myself (since I do ship it, along with many other pairings) persecuted or anything of the sort. I don't even do anything in PW fandom except lurk. More asking an innocent question than anything.

It's just weird to me that being a fan of the pairing has such a stigma attached to it. No other fandom I've been in was as bad as it is in PW.
