Fans and their Blorbos

[tiggymalvern]

I despair of some fans sometimes. You have a blorbo who did terrible things? Good for you, have fun with that guy, he's fictional. You can adore villains or morally grey characters, I don't care, I've loved some myself. But do not be coming to me telling me that your blorbo didn't do the bad things that canon says flat out that he did. "Oh, no, it was an accident, he didn't know!"

Canon says he did it and he did it in full awareness. Sorry if it doesn't sit right in your head that your beloved blorbo was revealed not to be as pure as the driven snow, but suck it up or ditch your blorbo.

(This is not some starry-eyed teenager I'm talking about either, this is someone from my generation. Lord save me...)
