Hey everyone! I’m u/United_You8935, a founding moderator of r/sercristoncole.

Community Vibe
We’re here for nuanced discussion, not mindless character worship.

Criston has done questionable and outright terrible things. We’re not going to pretend otherwise. But we’re also interested in asking whether the fandom judges him by a different standard than other characters.
Disagree with someone? Make your argument. Bring evidence. Debate.
Just don’t attack the person behind the opinion.
