The Downers

Pretty much all the time now, I encounter people who are the Debbie Downers. A lot of them don't even realize they are. 

There are people I know who are aware of my political leanings and yet, for some reason, they keep insisting on talking to me about stuff I don't agree with. I don't want to discuss those things. I don't want to argue with them. They won't listen to what I have to say and I think what they're saying is, at the very least, annoying. Why do they do this? We can talk about fun things. Why keep bringing your beliefs into it? Move beyond that.

Speaking of moving beyond, there are a couple of people in one of my fan groups who keep posting political things. Mostly, they're complaining about 'woke culture' and it seems like the only thing they can focus on. Everyone else is posting fun pictures or fun memes or discussing stuff ABOUT the fandom and these people are posting video after video about 'oh no the Woke people are going to ruin things.' Look, if that is a concern of yours, fine. But this isn't the focus of the group. The focus of the group is it being an escape from the world and a happy delve into the glory of the fandom. Stop bringing us down. Stop it.
