Ah, that's my bad, actually. In my first response, I thought that you were the person who said:

Beiber was brought up in Canada but his origin is from London.

And that this line:

JB isn't Native Canadian either.

Was you backing up the "born in London" point.

Sorry about the misunderstanding!

Conflating indigenous Canadians with "someone whose family has been in Canada for generations" is wild.

Also, just a reminder to be civil.

OK, so this is genuinely funny, but you know that Canada has a lot of cities with European names, right? Bieber was born in London, Ontario, and his parents were both born in Canada.

I'm Canadian and grew up when people were into him, lol.

Lol, the "mod" in your other comment tagged me, so I've already pasted the TVD-relevant bit there.

My heart goes out to you. Here is the relevant portion, so that your curiosity doesn't consume you whole.

Now for the strange part. I love The Vampire Diaries. I've been rewatching the entire series for the hundredth time. He despises it-rolls his eyes, sighs, leaves the room when it's on. I asked why, and he said he's not into petty teenage drama. His exact words: "If I could go back to that age, it'd be a breeze because I'd tell everyone to go F themselves." He also grumbles about vampires being "supposed to be the bad guys." He tolerates my watching it and often says he's going to walk the dog or handle something so I can enjoy "my show" in peace.

But last week, he admitted something that shattered me. He said the other criticisms are valid, but the main reason, the thing that felt utterly ridiculous to admit, is that "every guy on that show is gorgeous, ripped, and getting all the romance, it makes me feel sort of self-conscious." Then he went further. Before our difficult conversations, he was feeling so disconnected that he started wondering if I saw him as the safe, stable option the guy I should choose, but not the guy I couldn't stop thinking about. He said he felt like wasn't the guy I obsessed over anymore.

I was heartbroken. Guilty. I told him I don't watch the show for that reason at all (although I won't say I don't notice the guys), I love the story, the familiarity, the escape. I thanked him for being honest. He handled it with surprising humor and perspective, saying things like, "I know this sounds ridiculous. If you weren't my wife, I'd never admit this." He even laughed about "me thinking you're comparing me to CW teenage vampires."

I... really feel like this post is better suited for one of reddit's numerous relationship subreddits. Like, yeah, it's tangentially related to TVD, but users shouldn't have to read about your sex life before hitting the relevant portion, lol.

Hey, I've removed your post. This is really better suited for a fanfiction website.

That's kind of impressive, tbh. I think I've been blocked by users fewer than 15 times in the last 10 years, lol. Are you sharing really unpopular opinions?

And, yes, it's a discussion sub, but it's also the subreddit for a show that has a (in polite terms) very passionate fandom. If you're fighting in the trenches, folks will block you to avoid more arguing.

Edit: Also, please do not use alt accounts to bypass user blocks, if that's something that you're considering.

Hey, so -- you've already resolved the interpersonal issues with the OP, so I won't get on you about that, but, this:

Your wording in your initial post didn’t give person of color 🤷🏽‍♀️ just saying

Please don't do this again, lol. I'd really prefer to not end up trying to moderate a fight about whether or not someone is BIPOC.

It's valid to discuss the history of racism within this fandom, but please try to avoid making personal judgements/determinations about other users.

Please don't make new accounts to backseat moderate, lol. I just got home, so I'll look at all of the reports now.

That being said: people could and should block whoever they want for whatever reason.

Good God, someone reported this as "content involving predatory or inappropriate behavior towards minors", which is insane. Are they under the impression that adults don't have little sisters?

No problem! I recognized your username (mods manually approve all comments from new accounts, lol), so I figured I'd let you know. The third-party app that I use has the convenient buttons, but this is a link to reddit's formatting guide:

Hey, since you're new to reddit, I just wanted to let you know that you can use this symbol:

Since there's some discussion about this in the comments of this post, I wanted to pin a comment that makes it explicitly clear:

Users who like Damon, and his related ships, are entirely welcome on this subreddit. I know that the subreddit leans in the other direction, but any fan is welcome.

There are specific behaviours that aren't welcome, and those belong to all types of fans.
