A post from me "I understand fandom is a kaleidoscope of interest and identity, I meant the most ardent supporters and defenders of Disney's actions. That's my personal definition. I did not mean "all adults who like Disney". My definition was fanaticism, not age.
A screenshot of a comment I made towards a person saying "If I don't like sports, then can I dislike Disney adults?" This person then decided to quote me, saying "Sure, dislike anything and everything you want, knock yourself out. Liking stuff is more fun though, in my experience. I hope you learn that before it's too late." And then turned off comments and quote tweets. Like a coward does. Almost like silencing criticism was the whole goddamned argument in the first place.
