Competitive match, defending, and they had the payload about 15 meters from the final point with about a minute and a half left.
Enemy Reinhardt ulted, killed the soldier and Junkrat, and hit me once as
Lúcio. I jumped back up, ulted so I survived the next two hits, then rightclicked/shot Rein and finished him off and proceded to dance around the payload (widowmaker couldn’t seem to hit me in that hall and the enemy soldier wasn’t having much luck either) until my party came back and we managed to win.
I thought the first line was a teammate showing appreciation, but Rein was not happy with me. :(
I never gave Zenyatta a chance til competitive opened up. I usually play Mercy/Lucio but people tend to chose them first and since I was having so much bad luck as other heroes, screw it, I’ll try him.
Reposting this as a standalone as per request, because another shipper in the Steven Universe fandom was suicide baited by “anti blogs” and is currently unresponsive on social media.
This is the fourth time that I am aware of in the Steven Universe fandom that these so called “anti-shippers” have done this.
The fourth time.
They are bullying people to suicide over fictional fucking cartoon ships.
They’ll try to wash their hands of it again. It wasn’t them, they’ll say, or they’ll shed crocodile tears over the safety of the missing person.
ALL of you hate blogs contributed to this. ALL of you “antis” are abusers.
ABUSERS.
I don’t give two fucks if weh, you are a survivor.
YOU HAVE BECOME ABUSERS YOURSELVES, CONGRATULATIONS.
Fucking stop, because reality will come down very quickly on your thick skulls and no, your precious fictional characters will not shield you from the authorities. If you really give a shit, delete your fucking hate blogs and get help before you KILL SOMEONE OVER A GODDAMN CARTOON.
For those following me for my Overwatch art, be warned that these shitheads are already trying this shit in the OW fandom, taking character names for anti-shipping blogs there. Do not let them turn that fandom into a fucking pit too. Please.

“Fiction affects reality”, is what the so-called “anti-shippers”
always say. The thing there is, if fiction affects reality in the
absolute way they claim–which they typically “source” with studies that
have nothing to do with that statement at all–why are there any problems in the world? Does the the children’s programming we watched when we were young not magically solve them all?
No, because people have their own agency.
Decisions to harm others are the individual’s responsibility, not a
character’s, not a show’s, not a book’s, and sure as hell not a fandom
ship’s. The alarming habit they’ve developed of attacking mostly other
minors with accusations of terrible crimes, collecting “receipts” on
them, running hateblogs to torment them, does FAR more damage than a
work of fiction. The rise in suicide attempts among creatives in certain
fandoms is directly the result of this abuse. And make no mistake, what
the anti-shippers do is textbook abuse. That some of them are survivors
is not a free damn pass, we all have the chance of becoming abusers
ourselves. I’m a survivor also, and I haven’t felt so backed in a corner
since my abuser was still in my life, as I did coming under fire from
them. (For a bisexual headcanon. A bi woman, with a bisexual headcanon?
YOU DON’T SAY.)
They only ever briefly show regret when the
spotlight is on their abusive behavior, when someone almost kills
themselves because of them and their rabid obsession of ships they don’t
like. “God, I hope they’re okay” they said, more than once, wringing
their pearls, when they did not give a shit about the person they
tormented to the limit until the moment that THEY were in trouble for
doing so.
And when they are confronted for it, boohoo, suddenly they’re being attacked.
It needs to stop before one of these suicide attempts is successful.
A lot of them advocate self-diagnosis, looking at their Abouts and
whatnot. Which is whatever, you know yourself best, your choice. But
just like they claim a psychologist isn’t qualified to diagnose them,
what makes them think they are qualified to diagnose strangers on the
internet?
“Because I don’t like thing” seems to be their answer, and it’s a piss-poor one.
All
this, over fiction. The only “fiction affects reality” that I see are
these people becoming bullies in a fictional ship’s name, and that is
still all on them, not the fiction they are crusading for.
You can dislike seeing some things, it’s natural. I’m uncomfortable with any ship involving Overwatch’s
Widowmaker, for example, because she has been tortured and warped by
the villains to become a remorseless killer, without agency, and her
first victim was her husband. You can think something is in poor taste
and vocalize it in your personal spaces, I’ve done that plenty. (Yep,
still gonna side-eye rape jokes, still not sorry.)But not in the
ship tags, and understand no one has to stop because of personal
comfort zones. This can be a hard lesson, but try to freaking learn it.
What you can do is protect yourself. You can block tags. You can
block users. You can not go trawling in tags you dislike ( which I know
for a fact these sorry sacks do on a regular basis anyway, because they
simply thrive on bullying ). In the case of something that is actually
illegal, or at least against Tumblr’s TOS, you can report it to Staff
and let them deal with it.
I’m not your parent, I’m not your
punching bag, and if you want to cry when the shit you try to fling at
me ricochets in your face, best you step off in the first place, maybe?
btw:
I ship it.
I can’t believe this shit needs to keep being said but I guess so long as there are abusive assholes - and yes, that’s what you people are, no matter what other layers you might have, you are abusive fucking assholes - this will need to be repeated, loud and long, from the fucking rooftops.
How much of an obtuse scumbag do you have to be to be ‘glad someone is dead’ over a fucking fictional ship.
