I wish fandom would stop framing issues of content as policing and frame it as a matter of responsibility for content creators
fandom isn’t some space where you can do whatever nor is it a space where you can actively disregard your fellow fans’ well being
if you create content it’s your responsibility to be aware of what messages you’re putting out into the world and yeah you do have to deal with it if it’s damaging content
if you create misogynistic content, it’s not policing when someone says your work is misogynistic
if you create racist content, it’s not policing when someone says your work is racist
and that’s just like super basic I would hope someone has learned to call that shit out shitty messages you can put into your content
there are plenty of areas of grey and mires of shit you can get into but if you’re willing to say what you create for fandom is meaningful you have to take responsibility for whatever shit you create and step in and you need to be critical of what you do and what fandom trends you choose to be apart of
have some respect for your work and fellow fans by not acting like someone just decided to shout at you when you stepped on their toes first
plenty of sad and dark things are dealt with through creative content and maybe all you need to do so you don’t hurt somebody is tag
sometimes you need to realize that promoting or writing something in general is harmful to other fans and you need to not post or share your work publically
the things you create are not just fantasy things you put out on the internet and then have no affect on anyone and float about in a vacuum, they’re not fantasies if you’re sharing them as content, and they can hurt and offend others and you need to be aware of and responsible for the hurt you cause
maybe a good rule of thumb is if you would criticize a published content creator for creating what you’re creating maybe you shouldn’t do it either
