New scam!! Person sent me a reference sheet file that turned out to be a script, my partner (in cybersecurity) found it to likely be an Info/Crypto Stealer and would steal all your passwords, and hides itself via windows scheduler
DO NOT open VBS files

I donโt usually share my thoughts about this, but after recent events today I need to talk about something that has been sitting on my mind for years. In case you havenโt heard: the author of Ganbare!Nakamura-kun!! was so brutally harassed (she even received death threats) that she couldnโt take it anymore and deactivated her social media ๐ฅ...
And no, unfortunately this is not the first time something like this has happened. We saw it happen with Horikoshi-sensei (My Hero Academia) too, when part of the fandom decided that the characters and the story had to go in the direction they wantedโleading to death threats, insults, and harassment. And he wasnโt the first either.
Criticism is always legitimate, but a part of the fandom has clearly crossed the line: from โI don't like thisโ to โthis is wrong and you are wrong for doing it, change it or you are a bad personโ, turning a valid opinion into harassment.
This is no longer about morals, itโs about control.
I feel like there is a tendency for some people to feel entitled to have everything tailor-made, catered to their personal taste. They appropriate characters and stories that don't belong to them, and expect the author to comply with their demands; if they donโt, they take it as a personal attack.
Creating is not about trying to appeal to everyone, itโs about exposing yourself, your ideas, your feelings . Give so many times full time of you...Seeing someone dedicate years of their life to sharing a story for people to enjoy, only to receive hate and harassment because it doesn't match someoneโs expectations, is deeply disheartening.
And no, it's not about not being able to criticize. Analyzing, debating, or pointing out what we find uncomfortable is always healthy. Iโm speaking out because this turns into a full-blown lynching. At that point, you are no longer defending values, but using them as an excuse to behave like a bully.
