Important Reminder of the Rules
Admin Sunset here, on behalf of myself and Admin Mani. Recent events have caused a spike in hate and toxic behavior towards the staff of the show, and as a result we thought it would be important to give everyone a reminder of one of the rules of our blog. If you have not already seen our rules page, a link is here.
If you are dissatisfied with the ending of the show, or how the show has been handled overall, that is understandable and valid. It is ok to express that dissatisfaction reasonably and discuss it. There were a lot of things that both of us were also not happy with.
However, we will not tolerate people who take their anger out on the cast and crew of the show. If you have harassed or spread hate towards them in an attempt to do harm - through verbal harassment or physical threats - we don’t want you on our blog.
There is a line between venting your anger or disappointment and trying to discredit or do harm to the content creators that gave you the show you claim to love. If there are issues that you have, they can be discussed in a calm and reasonable manner without attacking them.
This blog is a creative work done out of love and respect for the original creative team that worked to give us the show, and a way to explore different directions we wish the show could have gone. That is what makes fanworks like AUs, fanart, fanfic and so on so great: we can explore things we wish could have happened with freedom the original team didn’t have, and make it totally appeal to our on interests. That’s why those things exist.
If you came to this blog with the mindset of hate towards the original story and it’s creative team, then this is not the place for you. If they hadn’t created the show, admin mani and I wouldn’t have been able to make this blog in the first place.
In addition, there’s been a trend of comments on our posts that while may be intended to be compliments, are very disrespectful and backhanded in the way of insulting the original creators writing. As content creators, when praise comes at the expense of insulting other creators to make our work appear better by comparison, it feels very disrespectful and back-handed, whether the intent was genuinely good or not. Compliments shouldn’t come at the expense of tearing someone else down.
This blog is not a place where we tolerate hate. That is final.
