I'm pretty exhausted — physically, mentally and emotionally. Yesterday's post on MoeGamer, it seems, resonated with a whole fucking load of people, and my Twitter notifications have been absolutely on fire all day.
It's a good kind of exhausted, though; out of all the reactions to my piece, I've had just three negative responses. One from the original writer of the piece I was responding to, who seems to think that a call to not be a dick to people is "childish" (after having spent all day throwing a tantrum about my article). One from someone with 4 followers on Twitter, who I blocked months ago for being a cunt and a stalker. And one from someone who whined half-heartedly about "rape culture" and then collapsed into a small puddle of lactose-free milk.
Meanwhile, the article in question has had thousands of people viewing it, thousands more (or probably the same people) liking and retweeting it on Twitter, and even some people coming privately to me for advice or saying that they want to follow me to "learn from me". I'm honestly kind of humbled by these latter things in particular; I'm just a dude with a blog about games he likes!
I hasten to add that I don't wish to come across like I'm bragging about this; I am mostly just pleased that something I've written has actually touched a lot of people in a positive way… almost, almost universally. It's brought a lot of people together — even people I might not expect in some cases — and it's just generally been a rather positive, if overwhelming experience.
I think I need to go to bed now and not look at the Internet for a bit!
