How did u get involved in the TD fandom drama exactly?
OK Let’s see how thoroughly I can recount this lol
1 October 2013: I made my tumblr and entered the TD fandom, but wasn’t important. I just reblogged some stuff.
Late January 2014: I make fun of a post saying that the TD tag should be a ‘safe space’ because I think it’s ridiculous to expect a tag to be a safe space. I don’t actually remember what this person wanted to be safe from at all, so can’t make a commentary on that.
Anyway apparently that upset her because I said that so she made posts like ‘how does it feel to give a 13 year old mentally ill girl anxiety???’ and I was like um it feels like not much really since I don’t know you. And then everyone else was mad at me for pissing off some random 13 year old. Her blog disappeared that week but I THINK she made new ones and renamed them frequently. So I actually don’t know what was her and what wasn’t because she changed names like more than monthly.
The bigger characters like chefhatchet and tortelani and winner challenged and all them caught wind of me and decided to call me trash idk, probably because I wasn’t a feminist. I didn’t say a whole lot of inflammatory things surpringly, although I made a few sarcastic comments about how I didn’t know we lived in an oppressive patriarchy.
I attempted to be chill in the periphery of the fandom for a bit, but a comment about Jo’s gender ambiguity got called transphobic. LOL then I guess Lightning’s entire relationship with Jo is transphobic because he doesn’t realize she’s a girl all series.
ANYWAY there’s a big piece of the puzzle I didn’t mention: my ol pal Cherri. Now Cherri was the biggest pariah in total drama. Apparently she made a confessions blog that allowed confessions about not just the show proper, but other fans. Although it turned out she did have a hand in making the blog, the other users decided to devour her immediately, and she loved to rag them on too because who wouldn’t? I decided well, these guys hate me, so may as well buddy up with Cherri, and we used to message each other to bitch now and again. Cherri doesn’t go on anymore, but her blog is still up.
There were a bazillion other hate blogs that I didn’t keep track of after that. The fandom kept blaming Cherri for them even though it wasn’t her other than the first time. Then there kept being more random people that popped up for the rest of the fandom to pirhanna, most of the time it was just people being dicks and deliberately saying “”“problematic’”“” things to get noticed. Other times it was just people who made the mistake of not hating Mike.
One thing I really don’t remember though is why winner challenged starting being the #1 person who didn’t like me. I don’t remember when I first encountered him, there’s just a lot of mutual disdain the origins of which are nebulous. It’s kinda funny actually.
also don’t remember when I started being racist but ok.
