...indie polish infighting is weird as fuck. I didn't think anything would really top doll drama but ohhhhh, how I was wrong.

In one of my groups, an admin got fussed at for playfully calling people peasants in a post. And to be absolutely 100% clear, it was in a post 'from' the group mascot cat. Of course a cat is gonna call people peasants.

And yet it's not just one person being upset about it. I could absolutely get it if I thought she was using the opportunity to truly say/imply she's somehow better but like... it's from a cat. It's not that fucking serious. I feel like I've lost my mind given how the only people getting any pushback on this are being labeled as problem children.

wtf?

ugh, people

Before I run back to bed, I must grumble or else I won't be able to sleep.

Checked Mattel's forum for funsies about Rochelle as I was still deciding whether I'd go for her, and was leaning towards yes as better to change my mind later and sell than want and not have, y'know? But noticed the announcement that no paypal for her. Boo. I was curious as to whether the 10 friggin pages would say WHY and they did, but it was basically, "they're doing something elsewhere and when they do that, paypal gets taken away as an option." And if you dare to ask why that is, you're told you're not a responsible adult who should have a credit card you're willing to whip out for doll purchases on a whim and also you're the one with the problem, not the asshat who can't just say, "I don't know the why, just that this is what happens in this situation." Sometimes "I don't know" is a perfectly valid response!

People are dicks and I hate them.

Fwiw, I was not the person asking the question on the forum, as I literally just found out about the issue 20 minutes ago, but I am the person flipping off internet people because fuck them for being condescending pricks.

Also, would've totally thought they just took the paypal option away because of the ability to dispute the charge within a time frame since this is a preorder deal but here we are.

Rochelle, I shall have to love you from afar. Or poke shoppay, who gets real clingy when you do so. Ah well.

I cannot imagine how vexed I'd be if I were seeing fandom's general thoughts on her in addition to the forum's in addition to the whole "well, I'm a thousand years old and I don't like being asked questions I won't answer" side. People are the worst and I hate dealing with them.
