I am so tired of this
I hate getting feeds on my recommended that are flooded with Dear Evan Hansen hate. I hate hearing people call Evan a sociopath who deserves no sympathy and who should die. I hate that I can’t simply enjoy the musical anymore without people looking at me weirdly or trying to tell me that it’s bad.
I’m just so tired of seeing people hate on the musical everywhere I go. Not helped by the fact that I find the reasoning to be at best bad faith and at worst totally false and/or offensive to people struggling with anxiety. Not all haters are like this, some of them dislike it for very understandable reasons, but others are certainly like this.
I just want to be able to like the musical without hearing people talk about why it’s awful whenever it’s mentioned. It means something to me and it hurts to see it so widely and vehemently hated.
