I really admire you for being so pro Gladstone, but I get real sad when I see hate (I know he's not a popular character but still)- how do you deal with that sort of thing?

eh, it doesn’t surprise me any more, and even if it stings a bit I guess I’ve learned to care less; people are allowed their opinions! and I know his bad sides as well as his good qualities, it is part of the reason I love him so much- but if someone else is entitled to have an opinion, you’re entitled to yours as well, and you don’t have to expose yourself to negativity more than you want to! whether it’s a character or a ship or even an entire fandom/interest, if you don’t want to put up with hate you don’t have to- viewing hate in tags is a downer by anyone’s standard and you don’t ‘owe’ that person your time or mental energy; the block function is there to make your life easier, after all!
