i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣

Antis are actually so braindead oh my god

Propaganda is specifically designed to form a narrative using misinformation. It's literally just lying and manipulating facts to deceive people into believing a specific political agenda. Propaganda takes many forms and is something you see being spread everywhere. Not just coming from movies or books but the news, politicians, and even educators.

Fiction, on the other hand, is just people making shit up for fun. Literal play pretend. Its *can* affect reality but not to the extent that some people believe it does; if that was the case then slasher fans would be killing people left and right ,which they arent. Most things "caused" by fiction can be easily attributed something else.

This got super long so more under the cut

A lot of people in the comments brought up the slenderman stabbings and the jaws myth, which is absolutely fuckinh stupid imo

The slenderman stabbing wasn't caused by slenderman the fictional character, but by shared delusion. One of the girls was already diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to the case and the other was diagnosed afterward. Blaming this on slender fucking man is not only stupid but also incredibly disrespectful to the victim.

The jaws myth is like... Basically just bullshit. People were already afraid of sharks before t jaws, and violence against sharks has more to do with greed and money than anything else. Like of you wanna get mad at people killing sharks, then get mad at the shark finning industry, not at a movie

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.

People really do assume the FromSoft formula is just "super hard boss fights" but really it's Tall Ladies, Hidetaka Miyazaki's barely contained masochistic death fetish, incredibly hard but usually fair boss fights, community graffiti, annoying rat, even more annoying dog, walk walk fashion baby, poison swamp, bottomless pit, Large Jovial Dad Figure, jolly cooperation, Berserk Reference, and slapstick comedy.

Shadowbringers is a ghost story, it's a love story, it's a post-apocalyptic horror story, it's a high fantasy that turns the genre's notions of light and dark and hero and villain inside-out and upside-down. Fitting with the whole light and dark schema it's FF14's writing at it's darkest and edgiest, and most optimistic and hopeful at the same time. It's about the struggle of finding and protecting whatever hope you can in the most painful of situations, about how even the strongest of us have to rely on one another, and it's an allegory about healing from grief and trauma on a grand scale. It's about choosing an imperfect present, a broken world, over a false promise of a utopian past.

Most importantly it's a story about the universal human experience of trying to kill evil angels while being lied to by wizards who are weirdly obsessed with you.

I ALSO adore Alisaie. She is full of love. She is full of incredible violence. She signs her name as a lowercase “a.” She hates pirates. Pirates love her. She decided that the proper use of her magical talents is to make a sword out of her own soul and hit people with it. She hates being mistaken for her brother. She still has the same hairstyle as him. She insulted Zenos so hard he had a mortifying brush with self-awareness. She is also still the size of a middle schooler. She can breathe underwater. She keeps jumping off high buildings. She reacts to being given a sword like she just got a birthday present. She was ready to straight-up kill Urianger when he pretended to betray the scions. She sculpted the worst porxie known to man. She used her rapier like a longsword until partway through Stormblood. She tries SO HARD to be cool. She would not shut up about us to Tesleen ever. She fistfought G’raha. She’s even gay.

packers are cool. stps are cool. strokers are cool. transmascs and trans men and anyone else who likes having a dick sometimes or all the time deserve to have support and easily available information for them

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

feel free to add more

THE WAY I SPED TO HIT REBLOG-

[blackheartbiohazards]

If you see a post promoting freedom of artistic expression and denouncing censorship and your first instinct is that OP must be a pedophile and that you need to attempt to discredit their post with the same kind of 'child predator' scaremongering that conservatives use against LGBT+ people it says more about you than it says about the original post.

It says you are a pro-censorship authoritarian who is comfortable using fear to control others.
