ok.. To whoever was concerned we misinterpreted their ask as “kink” when it was a serious vent, I can assure you, with 1000% certainty, that the post I made about kink and the blog was Not inspired by your ask. - Mod Ari
Okay. I’m not done here actually.
The fact that I can make the most bare-bones request of “Don’t send explicit, detailed asks to the blog about things that get you off sexually” and have someone respond with the most worst-faith assumption I have ever seen, is absolutely batshit to me.
I’m no stranger to people acting out of line on this blog. We’ve of course had our big situations, and I’ve seen even more asks that I’ve just deleted in accordance to our rules. But that was really a new level for me.
I joined in on running this blog for fun, and as a way to help people in the fictionkin community feel safe. And I’m thankful I’ve been able to do that. But lately it just feels more and more like so many people are using this blog to just say and do whatever, at the expense of the mods.
I’m not phased by the sexual themes, they just go against our guidelines. The tipping point for me is really the entitlement of it all. If you get personally offended by the idea of someone telling you to not tell them extremely personal and sexual things, you are the one who doesn’t know how to act.
And I’m tired of having to baby people on this blog. I’m tired of people deciding to throw aside reading comprehension, and I’m tired of being expected to over-explain every situation I ever come across because someone is dedicated to misinterpreting it otherwise. This blog is not something I have to do, it is something I wanted to do. And lately, it’s been hard to see the bright side through all the nonsense.
I really do appreciate all of you who follow this blog who genuinely enjoy it, and I’m really thankful I’ve been able to provide a curated blog to you. But, between all the nonsense and how busy my own personal life has gotten, I’m going to be officially setting my hiatus to indefinite.
I know I’ve already been pretty missing-in-action, but I’ve needed to say something. I’m really sorry to those of you who feel like you lost a good space, but hey. There are more blogs out there these days. And who knows what the future will bring.
Take care, genuinely, and never let anyone talk to you the way some of these anons have been talking to our ask box.
