REPENT! (Rant)

Remember how I've said before that some people are opposed to Worm Jeff merely because he's Jeff-related?
(Yes, I'm aware that many Jeff-haters are "Worm-Heads" as well, but just work with me here.)
This is due to something called the genetic fallacy. To quote RationalWiki: "This is a line of reasoning in which a perceived defect in the origin of a claim or thing is taken to be evidence that discredits the claim or thing itself. The fallacy is committed when an idea is either accepted or rejected because of its source, rather than its merit."
Wikipedia describes it as: "a fallacy of irrelevance where a conclusion is suggested based solely on something or someone's origin rather than its current meaning or context. This overlooks any difference to be found in the present situation, typically transferring the positive or negative esteem from the earlier context."

But, of course, that's not the subject of my rant.
What is it? It's that nowadays, the fandom seems hell-bent on trying to make everybody hate anything Jeff-related.

Yes, I'm aware Jeff's pasta is bad. Yes, I'm aware he's overrated. But I still like him as a character (well, CJ at least.) He's kinda like Sonic.exe in that way.

If you hate Jeff, I'll respect your opinion. But don't expect me to stop liking/drawing him just because you say I should. You do not dictate my likes and dislikes.
Hating a character is one thing. Making other people feel bad for not hating the same character you hate is just a dick move.

And please, spare me your "BUT TEH FANS RUINED HIM FOREVERRRR!!1" line. I've already made my views clear on that particular issue. laserpotato.deviantart.com/jou…
