Bizarre anecdote that's tangentially related to this poll I posted earlier, because it involves art/fiction that reflects your own experiences:
I was once called blah-blah-phobic because I listed certain topics in the Do Not Want section of a Dear Creator Letter. Which, if you're not familiar with Dear Creator Letters and DNWs, they're typically used for gift exchanges. In other words‚ I listed something I personally did not want to receive as a gift because I find it upsetting. And I explained it like, "this is something I experience and I would prefer not to get gifts related to it."
But, of course, some troublemaker who I didn't even know interpreted that as me somehow hating all people in the groups that I belong to?? And then they started going around discord servers and shit telling people I was blah-blah-phobic. I guess we're only allowed to have personal preferences that no one else will ever disagree with 🫠
Needless to say, that was the last time I participated in a gift exchange.
