Coming back to say my piece because I need to get this off my chest but then Iâll take my break from here for real. This is the last thing I will say about this and so my language will be more direct.
First off, I feel like people donât get what this whole thing is about. Itâs not about not being allowed to share criticism. Itâs not about not being allowed to criticise certain structures in a fandom. Itâs HOW it has been done and this is legit the ONLY reason thereâs drama.
Criticism? Yes please. Bullying? Hell no! Constructive criticism doesnât work by attacking one single person. Constructive criticism doesnât work by blaming one single person for people leaving a fandom. Constructive criticism doesnât work by throwing around insults like yandere or prick and if you donât understand that by now, you definitely should take lessons on how to say shit without bullying people.
Yes, there are things to be criticised in this fandom and yes, nobody asked for one single person to carry it on their back. Yes, things maybe didnât go smoothly. But most of this shit could have been solved in private.
The only reason I got publicly involved is because there was no criticism with normal arguments. All I saw was insults and then someone making an EXTRA blog to continue this stuff. I defend people where I can. This isnât about who is right or wrong anymore, to me it never was and tbh I couldnât care less about what other people have said or done to each other. I donât care about peopleâs interpersonal problems unless I am a part of it in the first place. People can solve their shit.
My focus was always the way things became just a huge bullying party where the arguments that have been said against the person may have been valid and I actually understand some of the points and where they come from. But if you insult someone in the same sentence? If you use religious phrasing and weaponise it? If you accuse people of malicious intent without having talked to them? Your arguments become meaningless to me the moment you do this shit. I donât care how right you are, if it is bully behaviour, I do not take you seriously.
And to the new people joining: I am sorry but some of you donât get the point and instead you repeat the same accusatory shit against the person without even knowing what is going on, which is fair since you are new but honestly, the posts speak for themselves and by reading them it should be clear it isnât about constructive criticism anymore.
Again: The drama would have never happened in the first place if criticism would have been brought up without bully behaviour and insults. Itâs NOT about someone wanting to run a fandom alone. Itâs NOT about someone forcing people to create content. Itâs how people feel like, yes, but if they are uncomfortable, they can a) voice it like a normal civilised human being and b) maybe talk with the person who made you uncomfortable in private.
I will not take anyone seriously who throws around insults like âyandereâ like that, and I will not take anyone seriously who calls themselves a âmessenger who is being attackedâ. Thatâs just peak brainrot behaviour.
There are things to be criticised but not like that and if you still donât understand why and if you support people spreading harmful stuff with only a hint of actual criticism, then bye bye, block me. You donât have to like the person who is being attacked, you donât have to agree with the person either but for the love of everything, use your brain and develop some reading comprehension skills. Please. It can save so much trouble. I know social media and especially tiktok fried our brains but you should be able to read and understand shit.
Feel free to read @/felsecyanâs posts about this matter because they explain better what I mean and what this entire thing is about.
Thatâs all I have to say now and if thereâs a problem with it, I am sorry but I wonât care for now. Youâll be fine.
My studies and my hamster await.
