Sorry Sheena but I have to use this thread to post a manifesto on my stance regarding this silly situation which has spread from a show forum to all over the forum 🤔
To the lurkers and stalkers,
1. I don't have anything against the 'darling' actress.
She made a professional career choice and I won't begrudge her decision to do so. I liked what I saw of her in off-screen interviews and none of her comments in the media have given me a negative impression of her. I appreciated her portrayal of a character that I adore and I will be forever grateful for her performance which lead me to a show and a forum that I enjoy being part of.
I will watch her new show when it comes out because I'm interested to see her enacting a new role. If I like what I see then I'll continue to watch, if I don't then I'll always have her previous performances to re-watch. I'm not going to spend my time bad-mouthing her up and down this forum. The only reason I refer to her as darling or princess is because that is what you, 'the true fans', refer to her as and that is the persona that you have created for her. I'm okay with the actual actress but I'm not going to build temples in her honor and worship her as some divine being.
2. If you think that I am part of some nefarious conspiracy out to get you (particular fan group/fans), then sorry but you've got the wrong person.
When people were sharing their rage and anguish on the forum, I kept quiet. When people created hate-filled posts against cast, crew, company and channel, I kept quiet. When appreciation threads and chat clubs were created, I stayed away from those places because it was not my place to enter. I respected other people's differing and disagreeable opinions by keeping away from the places they were posted. Live and let live. Any time I hit the report button, I posted on that thread that I was doing so. I'm not some ninja that sneaks around in the dark.
3. My opinion on the lurkers/stalkers who have referenced this CC most blatantly in the form of love notes through the forum.
Before this whole mess started there were quite a few people whose posts I used to love reading on the forum. The things they wrote inspired me to consider being active on this forum; whether it was stories or dedications or jokes or creative posts. And then that day happened and I was so upset that I stopped coming to the forum for a good two weeks. When I returned those same people who I had admired had started spewing rage all over the place. Initially I completely empathized with how people were feeling about the situation. But then as time went on, I watched in shock as their grief spiraled into an obsessive hate against everything and everyone (with the exception of their darling).
I had considered joining their 'loving family' because I adored darling and baby as that particular jodi (not in real life but only reel). I'm so glad I decided not to after seeing the things people were posting about cast, crew, company and channel. Me loving something does not equate to me having to hate everything else and to refuse to consider other viewpoints.
After seeing the posts written by people I once admired, my expectations of them took a nosedive. Nowadays I'm not surprised by anything that said people post. Whether it is to curse a show or to taunt a person they supposedly adore. I never had the need to hold a grudge and I still don't despite being aware that this thread is being stalked. Your opinions stopped being important to me a long time ago. Before I would get upset or angry but I realized it was because I expected better of you. Now that I don't have those expectations, in fact I have the opposite, it means that I am able to laugh things off very easily. The only thing you are going to get from me is giggles 😆

When this CC first started, I pointed out that we might get stalked but I was assured that who would bother looking for such a small bunch of people whose opinions weren't that important. We were a bunch of nobodies who just wanted to chat about non-show related things. Who would bother with us? But I knew back then that stalkers need fuel for their fire and I've been proven right. So thanks for meeting my expectations again, stalkers. You never disappoint me 👏
