Luke Dale haters, tavern edition
So I apologize that this thread is off-topic and negative, but this sub is the only place I know of that discusses the actors, and most importantly that is well-intentioned towards them.
My For You feed on twitter shows me posts from the KCD fandom that I would otherwise miss because I don't really follow it on twitter, and there's a lot of good, but sometimes I get some posts from the haters/whatever the Evil Gang is doing side. Earlier today I saw a repost of a compilation of screenshots of posts hating on Luke Dale related to him opening a pub. The account reposting it was celebrating that there were so many negative posts.
There was a lot of bafflingly petty things (I genuinely don't understand the hate), but also some things that gave me concern, like people saying they would visit just to cause damage, annoy and embarrass the staff, etc. Some things were really concerning.
This might just be a vocal minority making dark jokes. This could also be a legit concerted effort to vandalize and harass irl instead of online.
I've been thinking about it all day and I feel really bad because I'm not sure if I should talk about it, or if there's something to be done in the fandom. Like should Luke Dale be warned, so he could stress about it on top of all the stress of opening a business, and having haters bothering him? Is he already aware, and already stressing about it?
I just feel so bad for Luke because he's attracted this fucking dark cloud of haters for no reason that just follows him in whatever he does and hate on him and it's so undeserved and petty.
Feel free to lock or remove that thread if it's too negative and fear-mongering, but I really have been thinking about it all day and it left a sour taste in my mouth since I saw these posts and I need to vent somewhere safe.
