Announcement to all the Writers in the Yandere Batfam Tag
Do you remember the person who made the tierlist? The A-F ranking of plenty of the writers who wrote for the Neglected Reader trope? They are back to probably posting unnecessary criticism about writers, tagging them, and posting it in the main tag sooner or later. Read screenshots below:
I have no other words for this. Honestly, dragging my name to the dirt for something I can't control (and in my defense, I credited gotham-daydreams in my prequel alongside multiple other writers, I have never claimed to be the original or accurate to the comics— I haven't done anything other than posting what I've written. The fact that my fanfic is the one to get popularized is not something I control and not something I should be blamed for), when in reality I'm glad A&A got the recognition despite all the negativity surrounding it. Because it at least inspired new writers to post their own renditions, it made new stories branching out of the contained trope, and there has been an active, small but supportive, community who've all been there for each other.
I made this post because truly, I don't want this beloved niche to die down.
It's all just so reminiscent of what happened with the burn book incident in the JJK writing community. Where something as small as one person allowing others a platform to anonymously post their hate stirred a chain of writers to quit, deactivate, and lose their passion for writing. So my point is: If you see this blog, don't even try to entertain their bull anymore and just report them for harassment and hard block them. Giving them the illusion of power just makes them want to create more drama the longer you interact with said person.
As for writers, I feel it's my part to also warn you guys to turn off anonymous submissions for a while as I have if you're prone to being hurt easily. There's a massive wave of harassment and hate anons I've been receiving in my inbox — AI accusations, entitled anon messages, death threats, and so many more it's disgusting— that you're going to think they all come from the same person or a group of it at least. This has happened before last year, I'm afraid that it's happening again now.
That's really all. I have no other point to make because I already pointed them in all my previous posts. For anyone reading this, please take care and don't let all the hate get to your head because at least you have a life! These haters don't <3
I'll be tagging all my friends and writers I know down below. Don't be afraid to do so too!
