I find it rather suspect that they claim they don’t want anti-Ragnarok people interacting with their posts, but don’t block the ones who they know are liable to do that. You know this person engages in a behavior that you claim you don’t appreciate, but you don’t do the one simple thing you could to ensure it never happens again? Seems more likely they want those people to engage just so they can advertise to their echo chamber who disagrees with them.

Yeah, I really don’t know why they wouldn’t just hit the Block button – surely that’s less trouble than going through and making/saving screenshots of someone’s comments? But, some people just seem to thrive on and invite fandom drama, I guess. It’s like Willy Wonka watching a disaster unfolding and saying, completely monotone, “Stop, don’t.” They must know that they’re inviting the possibility of disagreement when they post publicly on Tumblr, they’d just rather have an indignant rage aneurysm when someone finally does disagree rather than avoid the whole thing completely. Idk, man. And the reason I mention that it’s hilarious that I’m not even an anti-Ragnarok person is because it’s like, look, I am not calling you out because I have any problem with Ragnarok, I am calling you out because your behavior fucking sucks. But, yknow, whatever. 

This is another thing straight out of the anti playbook. They insist that it’s the pro-shippers’ responsibility to block them; it’s like they feel like they’ve “lost” if they block first.
