On Fandom Behavior
I’m steaming mad at the moment over some bullshit, so I’m going to make something absolutely clear here.
If you harass, demean or spread rumors about people due to shipping or other fandom drama, my content is NOT for you! I’m not on your side!
A dear friend of mine was dealing with a creepy misogynist who left graphic gore comments on her fics and harassed her (keeping vague to not incur further harassment on her). This creep then sends asks falsely accusing her of various things to multiple “fandom police” type blogs, and without even a moment’s hesitation they posted baseless, false claims about someone dealing with harassment. Not one ounce of critical thinking, just spreading rumors from an anonymous ask anyone could have sent. And now a group of weaselly assholes are taking fragments of writing out of context to mock her on top of everything else.
I could honestly care less about the morality of fictional characters kissing, but I care deeply about the rampant harassment and purity policing I’ve seen rotting fandoms from the inside out. This is hurting real people, and enabling some real monsters that will do far more harm than the words on your screen. Just know that if you participate in this callout bullshit and petty drama I personally dislike you and prefer if you just stay away. I also will not post any callout posts sent to me so don’t bother, I’m not going to join a telephone game featuring someone’s reputation.
Log the fuck off and re-evaluate your goddamn existence if you think sending threats or slandering someone is acceptable over fiction.
