Modern fandom went awry when people stopped learning how to avoid content that upsets them and instead starting actively seeking it out.

I mean this in the kindest, most loving way possible, but babes you'll be so much happy when you stop focusing on what other people are doing and instead focus on what you like.

You'll never be able to stop people from liking what you hate, and the best way you'll find any peace of mind is properly utilizing blocking, blacklisting, and muting tools. Take it from someone who used to run a shipping discourse blog, fandom is supposed to be what you enjoy, stop focusing on things that upset you.

ID: A simple multi-panel comic. A person says "I don't like sharks." We zoom out to reveal he's standing on the edge of a pier with a sign with a picture of a shark. He cannonballs in, then sinks down among the sharks, who circle him curiously and perhaps hungrily. One shark looms up to him and says, "I honestly don't know what you were expecting." Beneath this comic is a screencapped tumblr post where snazzapplesweet says, "people who go into tags just to be mad about the contents of said tag."

jfc that post you reblogged about ben shapiro is so antisemitic. im embarassed for you.

Oh really? And you're not embarrased for changing history of Auschwitz prisoners and erasing Poles from the victim group by Ben? I didn't comment on all jews and i don't agree with comments that are included in the screen. And Ben is an asshole because of what he said. It's not like there's no guide who talk about this place and victims for over an hour. Feel free to unfollow and block me if you don't like what i rebloged. You don't have to like me or agree with me. I'm old enough to don't give a shit what anon on tumblr think about me :)

Can somebody tell me how they classified jews in German death camp in Auschwitz? I mean there were 3.3 million jews in Poland before occupation. I'm pretty sure they speaked polish and many of them lived there their whole life. They were classified as jews right? Not as Polish people? It's confusing for me because they talk about Polish/German/Hungarian/French etc jews but when it comes to victims of Auschwitz there's no such classification, just jews. It's bothering me how Polish people are treated especially now when Ben Shapiro just skipped them in his speach, the second biggest group of victims in German death camp.

[lichozestudni]

Damn, he even mentioned "Russian soldiers"... Russia was the second aggressor attacking Poland then...

Americans have really erased from the history books what Nazi Germany did to Poles and they are telling some Jewish version of history

controversial opinion but top surgery and other trans healthcare shouldnt be trans exclusive. so what if an autistic woman wants top surgery because boobs are a sensory nightmare?? good on her. she isnt "mutilating" herself any more than anyone else who gets cosmetic surgery for anything.

it doesnt have to be exclusively "trans healthcare." maybe a cis guy just wants boobs or a cis girl wants a dick. who cares. your bodys yours. customize that bitch. the more normalized it is to just do whatever with your body for any reason the easier itll be for the people who need to do it to actually go through with it because they wont be socially pressured as hard or harassed afterwards.

no offence but I dont give two shits how big a carbon footprint inhalers and other medical equipment have when theyre keeping someone alive. like sorry you shouldnt feel guilty over the medical device that allows you to breathe when shell can guzzle oil directly into a birds mouth and nothing happens

[grubloved]

but genuinely, for real, plastic isn't cheap, it isn't worthless, and it isn't trash. plastic is incredibly fucking valuable and costly from both a material and an environmental standpoint -- and it is really, really good for specifically medical applications. the amount of improvement in medicine that has been brought about by the presence of single use, sterilized plastic items is fucking insane. it keeps people safe. if we were doing things right, medicine and sanitary applications would be the only thing we used plastic for because it's really fucking good at it and it saves lives.

medical use of plastic is not the problem. it's artificially shoving plastic into thousands upon thousands of non-essential products that could be made with something else or done away with altogether! we are wasting plastic. it is a shameful waste to use sacred, ripped-from-the-earth-at-a-terrible-cost plastic that could have made someone's life safer for amazon packaging. treating it as worthless or a guilty useless trash is not helpful: you should feel outraged that someone decided to waste this precious material that was bought with the blood of the earth. plastic is really, really valuable. we should start treating it that way.

[nixiesdiscoursesblog]

Are people fucking serious??? Carbon footprint of medical equipment? Jesus fucking Christ... There's so, so, so many other things that leaves WAY bigger carbon footprint and are not essential at all. If you seriously worried about carbon footprint of your meds then think about private jets for a second, about clothes for million dollars for one night, about massive factories in China to mention just few. Your meds is something you need.

we don’t talk about this enough

I'll never understand why people are okay with Ariana making her skin so dark but when random white person wanna get tan on holidays they're screamed at and called racist

[nym-ic]

you don’t see selena gomez talking about the shittiness of north korea and it’s autocratic government. you don’t see bts speaking on the issues palestinians are facing right now. you don’t see harry styles talking about income inequality in the united states.

so why are these fucking minecraft youtubers expected to know absolutely everything about every possible problem going on in the world right now as well as being expected to speak on it whenever people bring it up.

half of these people are fucking teenagers who wanted to make content on the internet because it interested them. they aren’t activists. they didn’t sign up to be activists. stop treating them like one.

they are content creators existing to provide content. entertainment. if they want to use their platform that they built to speak on issues that they’re passionate about? great! amazing! but this entire belief that if they don’t speak on something or aren’t educated on a problem means they’re racist or homophobic or transphobic or literally anything else is such a dangerous mindset to have.

content creators are not activists. they don’t owe you anything. it’s great if they feel they are responsible and educated enough to speak on these issues and help people, but expecting them to do anything other than what they’re signed up for, which is creating content for entertainment is a fools dream that shouldn’t be indulged.

you don’t see older fandoms asking their ccs to say “can you please say gay rights?” or asking for their opinion on racial issues.

BECAUSE IT’S NOT THEIR FUCKING JOB

of course fucking gay rights. of course racial issues are valid and should be talked about. BUT THEY’RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME ABOUT FUCKING BLOCKS.

TALK TO AN ACTIVIST IF YOU WANT AN INFORMED OPINION. THAT’S THEIR JOB. NOT A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER. NOT ANY YOUTUBER UNLESS THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPLICITLY SAID THEY BELIEVE THEMSELVES MATURE ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT IT.

i am sick and fucking tired of everyone using twitter as a way to educate people. twitter threads are not reliable sources of information. you know what are?

ted talks

websites formatted specifically by activists

organization pages without fucking character limits

stop expecting content creators to know everything. they don’t. they never will. they’ll mess up. they’ll make mistakes. that doesn’t make them fucking racist.

mcyttwt is a fucking joke and i hope that app burns

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

What's up with that "wearing too small clothes is body positivity" thing? Seriously??? Wearing too small clothes is bad for you no matter your size. Wearing XS if your size is S is just as bad as wearing XXL if your size is XL. It's bad for your health. It's also uncomfortable af, why you're doing this?

With the previous said cuz I already saw this coming:

DO NOT @ Youtube/Twitch Creators and put them on the spot with current events. Their platform is not your mouthpiece and they may not agree with you.

DO NOT force them to take any side. It is up to THEM if they want to make a statement about it or if they want to ignore it. They have a right to do either on their own accord.

DO NOT ask them to boycott or denounce anyone. Stop pitting people against one another.

DO NOT attack OR harass them if a statement doesn't align with your own ideas. Creators are human and they have minds of their own. They may see a situation differently than you do.

They do not owe you a statement, let alone entertainment.

The door's over there if you cannot respect or handle someone else's opinion. Don't let it hit you where Uncle Sheo split ya!

Just because they've played FNAF, that does not give you a right to demand that they give you a statement or a stance. This is also in general and would apply to every other debacle.

[archivefullofyoutubers]

There are hundreds of issues every day. They cannot make a public stance on all of them. They cannot be aware of (or feel educated enough to comment on) all of them despite how much you care about one particular issue.

Only their career is public. They're allowed private opinions.
