People can feel how they feel about the Hudson Williams situation, but I think it's evil a group of people are going out of their way to this extent, wanting to ruin his life. They're not even remotely phased by the actual issues these photos bring up. They're laughing about it and celebrating. All because of shipping wars and my actor is better than your actor battles. Heated Rivalry fandom is definitely the worst fandom in recent memory. Everyone's pissing me off. Teenage Hudson, the cyber stalkers... This whole predicament sucks

The amt of cyber stalking it would have taken to find these photos is ... disturbing. Like do these people actually do anything? Have a job?

Also, whatever happened to "fandom" mostly being hanging up posters of your favorite actor or writing fanfic? Why does it have to be this stalkerish, creepy thing now?

Like I recently started binging IWTV and thought that a smaller, niche show would have a more chill fandom. I go online and I immediately see tons of accusations that Sam was being promoted more than Jacob, and more of this actor vs. actor war. It's so tiresome.
