White Villain: Today, on the way home from massacring an entire village, I saw a puppy and I…. didn’t kick it…. I wanted to…. but for some reason…. I didn’t.

Fandom: THERE’S STILL GOOD IN HIM!!!! REDEMPTION ARC HERE WE COME!

Hero of color: Today, I saw a puppy that had been hit by a car, poor thing. I know first aid, so I felt obligated to help. It’s leg was broken so I fashioned a splint out of some old boards and the shirt of my back before I took him to a Vet clinic for further care.

Fandom: …..So what you’re saying is that A VETERINARIAN WASN’T THERE WHEN YOU PERFORMED THE SPLINT? Don’t you know that if you do a splint wrong the bone might heal wrong if you don’t have a Vet check it at the earliest possible time? I know that’s what you did but imagine if you hadn’t! What a fucking idiot. How can anyone like this character?

There are probably people reading this post thinking it’s describing a hypothetical situation in an attempt to demonstrate how fandom works but…

It’s real

I was there

This is a thing that actually happened
