I suppose that's not surprising... although I think that's an incredibly lame, and hilariously telling reaction.
I'm sure this wasn't the first time something you wrote offended someone and I'm sure it won't be the last. Honestly, it's awesome watching you have the conviction to stick to your guns and write about topics that are simply too sensitive for some.
I've never had that many subscribers, and hence haven't lost that many (the perks of being a wallflower, I guess lol), but the few I have lost, departed after I published raw, vulnerable pieces. The stuff I'm most proud of. At first, it was disappointing (and maybe a bit painful) to see that reaction. But now I've come to see that exodus as a good thing, it winnows out those wafflers who were never going to ride with you to the end, anyway. So fuck 'em.
Yeah, the wafflers are dead weight anyway. Who cares about padded numbers when all that padding is composed of snowflakes? Why did they hop on in the first place? For mutual follows? Hmm.
Loved the humour, as always--but this one also delivers a wonderful dose of *two-middle-fingers-raised-all-the way-up*
This one cost me a few subscribers! Nerves officially touched...

Sunlight is the best disinfectant--let 'em melt!
Great stuff as always. Keep it coming 🎺🪽
Thanks, Jon!
