My issue here is with a couple members - will not mention names - who cancelled me simply for liking the TV show character, Anamika and talking a tad too much about her on a couple Simran Kaur ATs and for believing in reincarnation etc along with other issues. Unfortunately, one member played nice with me and had me sharing excerpts from an Anamika fanfic, which I and a young woman in Mumbai were working on, on one of the Simran Kaur appreciation threads. See, she knew very that sharing fanfics and supposedly talking on an appreciation thread about a role played by the actor thread was opened for is totally against the rules and I did not know that, nor did I know sharing my personal thoughts about Anamika or a certain Hindu belief was making her uncomfortable. Only on the "last day", she and her bully friend burst out at me and humiliated me so much and nothing was done about it. Only I was repremanded by the admin of the AT threads forum. According to them, I accepted that I knew I was breaking rules. - Later on, I read my reply to a PM that was sent to me by the AT forum admin and saw I made a typo, ie.: I said "I know I was breaking rules." What I meant to say is "I didn't know I was breaking rules." I must have tried to explain myself and apologized half a dozen times and they continued berating and insulting me. Even elsewhere, one of them called me Mr. Pathetic knowing there won't be consequences for it. They never let me apologize or explain myself, never let me rectify anything.
Now tell me. Was I wrong for:
1. Liking the TV show churail, Anamika?
2. Believing in reincarnation or thinking I knew a woman similar to Anamika in a past life?
I get it. An AT is not a place to share fanfics or personal thoughts even about a character role played by the actor the AT was opened for and I should not have done that. But at that time, I didn't know I did anything wrong. But the admin of both Simran Kaur Hundal AT's knew I was breaking rules. Why did she let it go on for so long - about a year from February 2015 until January 2016 - until things went spiraling out of control? Just so she can have a pathetic excuse to proverbially "kick me where it hurts" and humiliate me just because I am a man? And so what if I like Anamika more than Simran Kaur Hundal's other two roles? And so what if I, as a Hindu, believe in reincarnation and memories of past lives? Who was that admin and her bully friends to judge me for my personal belief?
Also, why is it that on this site, a member who simply said they don't like so and so TV show character or couple or finds them annoying gets repremanded even though they were not using foul words towarads or bashing the characters, the actors who played those roles or the fans. But nothing for someone who not only expresses their dislike of a particular character, but all out bashes that character, abuses and harasses that character's fanbase etc, i.e: pointing fingers on the opposite fan base's beliefs, morals, ethics etc, calling them obsessed, stupid, pathetic etc.
In all my years on this site and on YouTube, I have found that people who are fans of the villains, aka the dark shaded characters, or misunderstood characters with dark or unusual pasts, aka the grey shaded characters, tend to be far more tolerant and accepting than the fans of the protagonists, aka the light shaded characters, of differing views even if they disagree with those views.
Vent/concern/grievence over. I seriously needed to get some stuff that was bothering me for over 8 years off of my chest. Thank God I found this thread. Now I feel a bit better after getting this off my chest.
