[recapkid]

Thank you to everyone who made my fandom experience enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed my art and were touched by it, who engaged with it respectfully, who sent me kind messages and support, who were interested in sharing in my analyses/headcanons. Thank you to those who didn’t care for my content but who knew how to curate their own feeds if they didn’t want to see it. Thank you so much to the kind people and support I received during my time here. Thank you for being awesome. 

I hope you all continue to ship ZADR and focus on the positives like your love for the ship, or if you move onto other fandoms, find equal fulfillment in indulging in fiction and having fun. When I first joined the fandom it was some of the most fun I had and I hope others got to feel that way too!

Love you all! Thank you for helping shape a small part of my life. ❤️❤️❤️

The damage caused by Anti-shippers in the Invader Zim Fandom

Hey guys, Recapkid here. Remember when I promised a compilation on harassment in the fandom due to anti-shippers/fandom police a bit back? This the best I could do as one person with a lot going on in my life, but I promised I’d make this document and drop it before I left the fandom, so here it is. 

A compilation of as much anti-ship/fandom police harassment as I could collect directed towards ZADR shippers for… shipping ZADR.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XhysfpwDqgl1hgYTjMEvwGNeyRjgoGh_MO36iQS55lk/edit?usp=sharing

Be warned going through the document there’s a lot of heavy material in it because it’s all things coming straight from the mouths of a group of people looking to hurt others. While I know this can’t fix anything hopefully it can at least expose the extent of how bad it is and make more people aware.

I am sure this document does not even begin to cover the full scope of it at all because many people have had more personal experiences, and I had to leave out some of the stories that were more convoluted in their explaining in favor of stuff that was more direct and to the point, but it’s a start.

I was really heartbroken to see so much harassment take place in this fandom, and I wish there was more I could have done. Hopefully though putting this out there in the open in a compiled place will at least shed some light to what anti-minded people (and yes there are definitely shippers that are anti-minded) end up perpetuating. Especially going forward into other fandoms I want people to be aware of what is happening.  This sort of behavior should never be acceptable and it’s sad that fandom, my and many others safe space, had turned into such a hostile environment over the years. I remember back when fandom used to be very chill and fun for the most part. At this point it’s harrowing to try to figure out how to even begin to undo the damage fandom police have caused.

[recapkid]

It was difficult to compile this and how much I had to sift through and it ran me into the ground, but now I leave this for you all. 

[recapkid]

Before I leave the fandom I will be making One more very important post, so expect it in the near future.

[recapkid]

If you’re wondering why I left the fandom, it’s because I was bullied/stalked/harassed out of it. I won’t go into details because it gets pretty nasty and scary (I’ve had people contact real people I know, i’ve been doxxed, been aggressively stalked for months, etc.) and i’ve had to keep most of it out of public eye to not make it into a Thing and protect myself, but just know you’re not a hero for contributing to my trauma or making fun of me. I’ve literally needed therapy just to deal with the harassment I’ve received online. You’ve done nothing noble. It’s really nasty. This includes the people passively cheering my harassment on or making fun of me from the sidelines (a lot other zadr shippers), you’re equally part of the problem no matter how much you try to distance yourself and I hope you grow up.

I know nobody cares about how this has affected me, I know there’s nothing to gain from showing vulnerability online. It just sucks a lot! Causing a real person pain and grief and trauma over some twisted laughs or to protect hypothetical people who have never been harmed by my art makes you the bad guy.

ZADR was a source of comfort for me but I won’t touch this community anymore. And considering how many people drew art similar to mine yet I was the only one disproportionately targeted also speaks volumes how much this was rooted in bullying and mob mentality.

That’s all I really have to say.
