Oh my gosh, okay first of all - I know this is a total digression from an incredibly serious comment, but I had no idea that asofterhibou was you! I saw your username in my comment notifications and was like, WOW, I remember them from SGA fandom, long time no see, HI THERE!! And then found out that I've been sharing various fandoms with you for awhile now on Tumblr and AO3. XD So, um ... hi, again, now that I've connected your pseuds?

Anyway, now that I got that out of my system - I'm so, so sorry the show kicked you in the teeth like that. I know that I'm coming into all of this secondhand as a non-viewer and therefore don't have either the full set of context or the emotional investment that the fandom does, but just the secondhand impressions are such a miserable mess. This really does feel like one of the cruelest things that I've ever seen a show do to its fans, particularly since it was its marginalized, vulnerable fans who were hit the hardest - just the combination of deliberately leading the viewers on, and utter tonedeafness to the implications of their writing, and the interviews compounding the problem. It's so cruelly, pointlessly gratuitous, all of it, when there are so many other things they could've done that would have been more true to the characters and world they'd established.

*hugs if you want them*
