Enough with the Beckering already, people

No one on this big ball of green is perfect, and I think it goes without saying that anyone who's a major figure in Amber lore, including Beck, has at least some extra level of mess to them. Beck has had allegations of non-Amber-related abuse levied at them for years now, and whether you find them to be credible/plausible or not, I think we can all agree that Beck is a pretty complicated person, far more so than Amber. Even if you think they've improved a lot over the last few years, Beck has some darkness to them that does have to be kept in mind with the discourse we hold around here.

That being said... a bunch of y'all are writing threads now about this fact, and it's really chapping my ass. Not just because I think "Beck is a saint" has never actually been a widespread idea in the gorl-watcher sphere, but more importantly, distracting and dividing this community into squabbling about Beck's reputation is explicitly what Amber is currently trying to do. She knew exactly what she was doing by dredging up old allegations. It's a deflection, and the more threads we have about it on the subs, the more it works.

Yes, I know some will inevitably respond "we can do two things at the same time", but that's only true to such an extent. It also implies that those two topics deserve equal amounts of our time, energy, and snark, which they don't. Keep your eyes on the pack of wash cloths, gorls.

Edit: it's telling that many of the people completely missing/ignoring the point below are also misgendering them
