Important Post About My Fandoms - Please Read 💜
Okay so I've been overthinking about this for a while and I just need to get it off my chest because my brain won't shut up about it 😅
I'm in some fandoms that have problematic creators - specifically Harry Potter, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, and Yandere Simulator. These are three of my hyperfixations and they're really special to me, but I want to make it crystal clear that I DO NOT support the creators behind them or their controversial actions!
JK Rowling's transphobia, Vivziepop's controversies, YandereDev's... everything 💀 - I don't support any of that shit. But I still love the worlds, characters, stories, and fandom communities that exist around these pieces of media.
This blog is a safe space for people in these fandoms! You can enjoy Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling's bigotry. You can love Hazbin Hotel without agreeing with everything Vivziepop has done. You can be interested in Yandere Simulator while acknowledging YandereDev's problems. Separating the art from the artist is valid and doesn't make you a bad person!
The reason I'm making this post is because I'm honestly overthinking and getting anxious that my mutuals might be looking at me with disgust for being in these fandoms. I keep worrying that people are gonna unfollow me or think I'm a terrible person just because I hyperfixate on media with problematic creators 😭
You don't have to be in these fandoms yourself! You don't have to participate in any of them or even like them! I'm not asking anyone to get into something they're uncomfortable with. All I'm asking is - could you please just respect this at the bare minimum? Like, don't unfollow me or assume I support horrible things just because I enjoy these fictional worlds?
The fandom communities themselves are often way better than the creators anyway. Fan artists, fanfic writers, cosplayers, people making theories and headcanons - THEY'RE the ones who make these fandoms special and keep them alive. The fans create so much amazing content that's often better and more inclusive than what the original creators made!
I'm literally sitting here overthinking and wondering if I did the right thing by posting this or if I'm just gonna make things worse. But I felt like I needed to say something because the anxiety was eating me alive 💀
So yeah... that's it. I hope my mutuals can understand and respect this. If you can't and you need to unfollow, I guess I understand, but it would really hurt. These fandoms mean a lot to me and I don't want to feel like I have to hide parts of myself or my interests 💜
Guess we'll see which mutuals end up unfollowing me over this... hopefully nobody does but I'm anxious about it 🥲
Oh and just so you know - if this post ends up getting me a ton of hate, I'll probably delete it as quick as possible (assuming I'm not asleep when it happens) and we can all just act like I never posted this at all lmao 💀
Thanks for reading if you made it this far. I'm probably gonna be anxious about posting this for the next 24 hours lmao 😅
