Like I said to another anon, I’m not easily insulted or offended, and I don’t doubt that Cait is as sweet and grateful as people who’ve met her say she is. So I see this as not so much her wanting Sams’ support (because she has it always) as PR needing to secure his involvement to further drive this sucker home. But with every interview, every article, every missed Q&A or live tweet, or every time she walks past fans irl, even though I still think there’s bound to be stuff bts we can’t know, Caits’ image takes a hit.
So this morning I read the latest stupid article, came to Tumbr to see what people were saying…yup, agree pretty much…then off to Twitter to stalk a bit. I saw that Cait had retweeted the article and started down the comments. I saw some of you there, saying things I’m mostly nodding my head at, but the in between comments! “Forget the haters Cait” “We love you Cait. Ignore those haters” “Haters”!!
I am not a hater. They’re talking about me and comments I might have made, but I am not a hater. I love Cait and Sam and Outlander and every single thing about every singe episode so far. Hell, you all know I don’t even hate the wigs! I got here at the start accidentally because I saw love, not because I was looking for a place to hate. I was one who bought the show, bought the DVD’s as gifts, supported the charities, and voted in their stupid polls. Except for shipping, and watching the show, I don’t do any of those things any more. Being called a hater by people who can’t see the love that’s right in front of their faces is hurtful.
I got my email this morning from iTunes with my weekly download link for the new episode but I can’t even be bothered. They’ll never get rid of me as a shipper, and I’m inclined to think after today that this was not their intent anyway, but the show holds no interest for me today and that is just the saddest thing. I truly smh at this PR of Cait’s and hope they know what they’re doing.
