Okay, kids. Gather round. Story time.
Once upon a time, on this very website, there existed a small, tight knit community of Chris fans. There were maybe.. four of us? Five, tops. The tag was a bit dead, but for the most part, life was good. Half of us were under eighteen. The others were in their early twenties. We managed to get along not only just fine, but well. In fact, I still consider a few of these people close friends to this day (and this story takes place in 2008/2009). Wanna know the secret? NONE OF US ACTED LIKE IDIOTIC, INCONSIDERATE TWITS TO EACH OTHER.
Jesus FUCKING CHRIST, Alison. Your name is Alison, right? I’ve been warned to avoid you by by at least six people, and I rarely even get on tumblr anymore. Not all of your posts are shit. I see them in the tag sometimes and want to reblog you, but then I remember you laugh at rape jokes and your excuse is that “everyone does” or some shit. Or I see other posts about Chris and Stevie getting “gay married,” which is ignorant as shit, because literally every news article ever refers to it as “same sex marriage” (what it is, because HELLO BISEXUAL AND OTHER QUEER PEOPLE EXIST, DUMBASS), and my eyes roll into the back of my fucking head.
Like, dude, I remember being sixteen. I was problematic, too. But that was back before feminism was widely spread online. None of us really knew better. What’s your goddamn excuse for ignorance? Information and knowledge is all around you if you just open your eyes. But I digress...
RE: FANDOM, again. No one owns this fandom, that much is true. But wouldn’t it be better if we all tried to work together to make it a positive place to be? Wouldn’t you rather scroll through the Chris tag and see new photos rather than blocks of text/fic? Like, people could at least use a “read more”, jesus christ.
Like, it’s not my problem there are fourteen year olds in the fandom. I was a fourteen year old in fandom once too. Did I act like a fucking foiurteen year old? No. Because that’s obnoxious. If you wanna play with the big kids, fucking act like one. Don’t expect adults to waste their time being patient and understanding about shit. No one did that for me. They were nice, but they still expected me to play by their rules. You may be on summer vacation, but I work forty fucking hours a week. Ain’t nobody got time to coddle you or worry about whether or not telling you something you put in this Chris tag is offensive/disrespectful.
As for telling someone to “get over it or leave the fandom,” you need to shut your fucking mouth and grow up. You may be in highschool, but fandom is not high school. THIS IS NOT MEAN GIRLS. You’re not the queen anymore than I am. We’re all just people with blogs, who have the right to be pissy and annoyed when people are obnoxious.
Call me superior or a “rule maker” all you want. Look at all the fucks I give. None of the things I’ve said are rules, I’m just airing grievances because I’m sick to death of coming online to fans behaving like someone unlocked all the cages at the zoo.
Now, I’ve rambled long enough. But Sydney is literally the nicest person ever, so stop being a jerk to her.
