I really be trying to keep it cool on here and avoid ranting because I know y'all don't come on here to see or hear that shit. But between mjblr and mjtt constantly clashing because people can't keep their mouths shut, getting discouraging, RACIST ASS inbox messages back-to-back, and being on my period y'all are going to fucking hear me today.
To whichever dumbass decided to go on TikTok and run their mouth about what’s going on with the audios over here: what sense does that make? We are already walking on THIN ICE when it comes to writing fanfics (I don’t care if they aren’t new). You caused extreme discourse and got people unnecessarily bashed. This isn’t 2020. You can’t just do reckless shit like this and think it’s normal. I’m not gonna lie, I looked at the audio stuff weird too, but I learned to accept it because it was harmless. You do NOT have to share EVERY SINGLE THING we do on TikTok.
I’m on almost every social media platform for MJ, so I see how both sides act.
MJTT: Y'all need to stop treating him like a fucking child. If you were actually a real fan who listened to his lyrics instead of larping and just watching videos, you'd know MICHAEL IS A MAN! He had sexual urges and heavy innuendos in his songs. Break of Dawn is a prime fucking example.
MJBLR: Stop treating him strictly like a sex symbol. There is no reason why a wholesome fluff fic can't get even half the traction that a smut fic gets.
This genuinely used to be a safe space. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to enjoy every corner of this fandom. I can’t even browse MJ Pinterest in peace anymore because y'all want to spam AI images 24/7.
I’m watching people make the decision to leave, and I can’t even ask them to stay because I don’t even want to stay at this point. I am so grateful for all the love y'all have shown my fics and the amazing people I’ve met through this, but this is getting to be way too much. I am ten seconds away from archiving my TikTok videos and quitting writing for MJ altogether.
Y’all don’t make this shit fun anymore, and I’ve been in this fandom going on a DECADE. Get y'all shit together. Half of y’all are fully grown, and the other half are young as fuck, but either way, learn some basic INTERNET ETIQUETTE.
This might be my period talking, but I am utterly exhausted by the endless drama. Someone on here said "the Michael x reader tag is doomed," and she WAS NOT LYING. Y'all turned this into a toxic gossip and drama space over a man who has been dead for 18 years. We should be united, not divided, because that’s literally what he stood for.
Please do better and get it together. We have way too much real shit to worry about in life to be acting out over these useless, nothing-burger situations.
