Fandom analysis and "activism" are healthy and indeed important to a point, and will almost always relate to you or your beliefs on a personal level, but if you're at the point where you can no longer objectively approach a discussion or fandom as a whole, or you're at the point where you cannot separate fandom and your real life, you need to take a step back.

If you're at the point where you're spending the majority of your time relating to fandom doing nothing but complaining and getting in arguments and treating fandom spaces like warzones and protests, you need to take a step back.

If you're blatantly making up things that are non-existent in canon just to be angry about it, you need to take a step back.

And just to clarify; taking a step back in okay. Its not a bad thing, and its absolutely not meant to be an insult. Sometimes we just get to caught up in something we need breathing room to be able to readjust ourselves and realign ourselves, and that's a perfectly valid, normal, human thing. We often use fandom spaces as outlets, but if its reached the point where you have an unhealthy obsession with negativity in those spaces, its no longer good for you. Its no longer just an outlet, its a feeding loop of toxicity.

Racebending Revenge Challenge

Today for Fandom in Color we're highlighting the Racebending Revenge Challenge, a fan initiative and ficathon inspired by the fandom response to the whitewashed live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie adaptation.

A project of the Dark Agenda Dreamwidth community, the ficathon challenged participating creators to not only chromatically recast characters, but also to think about how that recasting would affect their canon characterization and experiences. Learn more on Fanlore!
