fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.

“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”

if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.

From bottom of my heart

Putting folks hard work through a machine you don’t deserve call yourself fan of art.

[sionnualanicheallachain]

I think there's actually an additional level of betrayal here.

When I was a teenager and learning about critiquing, one of the things I was explicitly taught was that you don't share other people's manuscripts without permission, full stop. If you're critiquing someone's story, you don't show that draft to your partner, or your friend, or anyone, no matter how good or how bad or how funny or how weird or how whatever you think it is. You have been extended a degree of trust, but that does not come with the right to extend that trust to someone else on the author's behalf.

So even before you get to don't feed other people's work into AI, there's the very basic and technology-agnostic social contract of if you are critiquing someone else's draft, the permission to read it only extends to you and the feedback you provide should only be coming from you. Feeding it into AI is adding insult to injury, but even if you took the AI out of it and substituted another human reader it would still be Super Not Okay.

“this person texts like chatgpt, they must’ve used it”, “that author writes like chatgpt, they must’ve asked chatgpt to write for them”. that could still be because chatgpt was trained on how humans talked, wrote and created. it’s trained to mimic real human. and whether or not you like it, it’s getting better.

if you suspect a work was written by ai and if that makes you uncomfortable, you can always stop consuming said work. but—I am saying this with genuine respect—public speculation, where you make a public post to accuse someone, and witch hunt harm real people whose art and creations are entirely human-made.

also worth mentioning that people who are on the spectrum and people who aren’t writing in their native languages are often wrongly accused of using gen ai

I think the biggest problem with customer service is every customer has to be treated with grace, and that is good in theory. But when you got cases like dumb fuck Larry chucking carts at your case cause he's mad we closed at the same time as any other day, or lala Delilah letting her kid dangle on the cheap ass chandelier. These folks need a good public thrashing or at least to be talked at like the misbehaving kids there pretending to be. Tired of these people making it a habit to be menace.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Yeah I said something similar yesterday but we can NOT let what happened to Renee Good cloud what happened to everyone else at the hands of these SS Demons!!!

Because we can’t disregard one person if we’re for human rights!

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?

[leonardslee]

My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Good to know, thank you!

“DON’T write this character like-“

“Stop drawing them with-!”

“I’m so sick of fandom sleeping on-“

My friend, do it yourself then.

[iamda05]

Some people don't know how to draw or write dumbass

[gettiregretti]

Then perish.

No but in all seriousness, I have no sympathy for you. I didn’t work for years on my writing voice or artwork skills just to cater to your fandom preferences. No one else in your fandom did either. No one owes you artwork that matches your headcanon.

You have three choices if you want fanworks that match your internal vision;

1) learn how to make fanworks yourself (fic, art, cosplay, gifsets, profile pictures, roleplays)

2) commission someone else to make the fanworks you desire with money or trades, or inspire gifted works by hyping up ideas you like/writing prompts and headcanons

3) eat your lovingly pre-prepared fandom food without being rude to the people keeping your fandom alive

💚To Minors in this fandom - Please Read 💚

(If you are reading this, you already ignored disclaimer of this game not being suited for you so im not going to pointlessly try to. I also have been a teen once ignoring age restrictions in media )

But i want to tell you something very important.

Even if you are consuming media not suited for minors, please, never ever join a group chat like a discord server about it and at best, do not look for online fandom friends

If you still insist on online friendships (which isn’t a good choice) never tell them that you are a minor, never talk about school or other hints to your real age. At best, tell them an age around 25 for example. But also do not talk about sexual topics etc with adult people not knowing you are a minor! (You wouldn’t want that either as an adult) Avoid these topics at all cost.

There are many adults on for example discord pretending to be teens searching for „friendships“ with minors in adult fandoms that slowly develop into horror. Organized crime targeting your age group is more connected and planned than ever before and through social engineering and manipulation techniques which are no joke and even smart adults often fall for, they can hurt or blackmail you in slow ways you don’t notice until it is too late and you don’t know what to do about it. Even if you educate yourself about some of the techniques that will not be enough to not be one of the most targeted groups on the internet and it‘s just the tip of the iceberg.

Ive seen enough sweet smart young people with severe trauma and I don’t want to see more. Please listen to my advice.

I wish you safety, happiness and good times 💚
