Her Instagram story (is that what it’s called? i dunno i can only operate like two or three social media sites with any fluency)… Anyway, there’s a nice video at the end where she reflects on her experience at CC and how she’s grateful to have a chance to meet fans, particularly lesbian ones, who let her know how much of an impact BL is having. It’s a far cry from some of the usual treatment queer fans get and something we should definitely encourage if we want to keep seeing more of that and less of “here’s your scraps now go away.”
