Alright, look.
Mares are great, okay?
But please, anyone who uses the song to excuse taunting or malicious behavior is in no way speaking to the message of the song. "M.A.R.E." was born from silliness and fun, not degeneracy or indifference, and it is sad to see it used in such a horrible way.
I know you may not care or understand, but shouting "mare" at cons causes discomfort to many people, and using our song as a crutch to excuse this behavior is not okay. By doing so, you give the song a negative meaning. Because of your actions, that person can no longer enjoy the song as intended.
You may find it fun or memey, but for me personally, when I find my actions have caused pain in some way, I do my best to mend and to try to understand how or why it caused pain, even if I never intended to. You can't excuse someone's pain just because you "didn't mean any harm".
So, you can continue to shout "mare" all you want, but do NOT use our song as a banner for your actions.
We are better than this.
"M.A.R.E." does NOT represent the fandom's degeneracy. If you choose to use it as such, feel free to block me and unsubscribe from my channel.
