Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

    “…SOLID on creating strawmen.”

    1. you are using that buzzword incorrectly.

    2. I hope you understand that make-believing I’m creating “strawmen” doesn’t stop anyone from scrolling up and seeing that you’re playing pretend.

    your comments are being recorded as you post them.

    when you claim you’re not invested in what I have to say and don’t care what I think, then eagerly persist in messaging me over and over, thirsting for my take?

    anyone can just scroll up and witness ypur compulsion.

    of course, you do seem very confused about a lot of direct concepts, so maybe you’re also confused about how posting works.
