Me coming back to Tumblr bc I'm content starved and reblogging all the cute shit I see then leaving again:

OMG yes with the "how deeply fucked up the GoT and ASOIAF fandom is"!! I've recently read a dark Dramione fic, it's a very dark take on ABO trope. Asoiaf fandom traumatized me so much that I was afraid to look at the comments finding 2 things. "How could you do this to our precious OTP?!! This is a safe space for Dramione shippers!!1! Remove this filth from our relationship tag!!!" This happens all the time, less so with Jonsa, (i can't forget that Jonerii fic a non-jonsa author -their previous works were sansaery and jonmund- wrote, dany's abusive behaviour from canon was translated into a modern au and jon was trying to escape the relationship, he was friends with sansa and the starks etc, and jonsas didn't even know the fic before bcoz it wasn't in our tag but we heard about it when joneriis on twitter tried to organize to bully the author into removing the fic from the tag) but there are certainly people who freak out when people write dark fics, or not full on happy and sunshine fics with Jonsa.

But more importantly I was worried to see comments like "awww look at the poor boy, Hermione should be more understanding, heal him, help him discover his deeply hidden golden heart, so what if he did "insert all sorts of trigger warnings" to her, he was traumatized too!!1!" and it was a Draco Pov fic so I was surprised to find out everyone rooting for Hermione to get away from Draco and/or kill him. It was a refreshing change from Asoiaf/Got fandom.

People in this fandom have a warped understanding of that old "Fiction is not the same as reality" adage. Yes fiction is different from real life; fiction is writing, reading, enjoying a story, yes even a story with dark elements, and it doesn't necessarily mean endorsement. What it's not though is writing multiple 10k essays on how cannibalism is perfectly OK and actually a good thing™ and everyone should accept it already just because you watched and liked Hannibal. That's what the s/ns/n and other similar shippers do.

Hi there!

I saw that fic, had a quick look at it and closed it again (after checking if Hermione escaped, haha). It’s brilliantly written but not my cup of tea. But it is actually a great example that tagging works - if people do not police the fandom.

There was a time, when Jonsa writers who actually had a nod to Jon€rys, past Jon€rys or even love triangle or anything did not tag the ship on AO3, because the Jon€rys shippers were just so obnoxious about policing the relationship tag on AO3 - and had no idea that the tagging on AO3 works completely different. If the relationship (however twisted, dark or whatever) is in the fic, you tag the relationship.

It is a nuisance, because if you write a Jonsa fic and have Jon€rys in it you then have to avoid the tag because you don’t want the trolls on your fic and then you have to prepare your other readers that Jon€rys actually is in the fic - they might have chosen your fic because they want a Jonsa fic without Jon€rys...

I remember that some Jonsa shippers made a Dark Jon fest out of spite, because sweet cinnamon roll Jon supposedly would never ever... *eye roll*.

If people want horror, let them read horror. If people want to read fucked up relationships, let them. If tagged accordingly, nobody who wants fluffy fics will read that.

It’s so easy to close a tab....

The thing about the ASOIAF fandom is that policing is such a big part of the fandom, that I am always (positively) surprised by the other fandoms I engage in.

There is a whole set of ideas about the books and the characters in the books and the condescending attitude that everyone who has a different opinion should be ostracized. It’s bad enough when it comes to the interpretation of the books - I mean ASOIAF is literature and literature is interpreted differently - but it becomes completely absurd, when the fandom only wants cinnamon roll Jon, kind Dany, badass Arya and dead Sansa in fanfics. Because it should never be allowed to write a character ooc in fanfic (although I would argue that cinnamon roll Jon and king Dany are ooc).

On the other hand they are totally o.k. to write long ass essays about a teenage girl being the absolute worst character in the books (and harass Sansa and Jonsa blogs on that as well) and then write a long apology for Tywin fucking Lannister, the machiavellist, child abuser, does not care about collateral damage, man without scruples who annihilated two families because they insulted him and conclude that he must be the best politician in Westeros. Oh my...  I side-eye the abilities of the ASOIAF fandom to rationally talk about the morals of the ASOIAF characters. Very much so. Their standards are absolutely warped.

I’ll stop here.

Honestly, I’ve changed some of my stances on character because of this fandom and it’s policing. I actually support Cersei knowing fully that she is a villain a) because of Lena and b) just because this fandom is so united in wishing a horrible death on Cersei and I don’t even like Cersei in the books. I stopped looking at the Arya tag altogether, because the “Arya will have revenge on Sansa” takes always make me cringe... I started stanning the Martells, just because this fandom is so set on shipping Rhaegar and Lyanna.

You would be absolutely correct, if you call me out for doing this mostly out of spite. But I only do it on my blog, ostracized and excommunicated as I am .... *shrugs*

Thanks for the ask!
