Basic Fandom Etiquette Everyone Needs to Remember:

Creators do not owe anyone content. Do not ask writers when they will update.

If an author did not ask for [negative] criticism , do not give criticism.

Read the tags carefully before reading a fanfic.

If you ignored the tags and were upset, that is your responsibility, not the creator’s.

Disliking a ship does NOT give you the right to attack people who enjoy it.

Do not tell authors or shippers that their ship is “disgusting,” “wrong,” or “shouldn’t exist.” Shipping fictional characters is not a moral failing.

No one is obligated to justify why they ship two fictional characters.

Headcanons are PERSONAL interpretations, not universal truth.

Dark themes in fiction do not equal real life beliefs or intentions.

Leaving kudos or short positive comments genuinely matters.

Not every fanwork is made for you, and that is okay.

Scrolling past content you dislike is better than engaging negatively

Enjoying a fandom later than others does not make someone less of a fan.

Disliking a fanfic does not entitle you to announce that to its creator. Sending hate comments to authors is NEVER justified, even if you disliked the work.

Fandom Problem #15,655:

"Old man yaoi!! 😍" and the "old men" are like, 35. 🙄

[the-irreverend]

The thing I hate the most about being an aroace shipper (I know, sounds paradoxical lol) is that it always feels like shipping culture has it out for the aro/ace community and for aro/ace representation.

The sad fact is, ace erasure, aphobia, allonormativity, and amatonormativity are a lot more pervasive than people like to admit, even in fandoms of queer media. It's nothing short of disheartening to see aro/ace characters in a work of fiction only to have the media's fans completely disregard them. It's like they see asexuality and aromanticism as just blank slates/canvases for them to impose whatever sexuality they want, and in doing so, disregard the sexuality that the character already has. I mean, just look at how some Hazbin fans treat Alastor, a character that was actually confirmed to be aroace!

It really comes back to how people see asexuals and aromantics as less queer than everyone else, that nonromantic/queerplatonic relationships can't be as strong or meaningful as romantic ones, and ace and aro people and characters don't deserve an equal level of respect, acceptance, and sensitivity.

Even though ace discourse may have "died", its ghost still very much haunts this site.

Yes, yes. BloodyMary is a wonderful ship, we all love it. But I do think that some of you need to recognize aro/ace/aroace Grace and Simon can coexist as separate or included headcannons alongside the ship. Being mean to people who don't play with dolls the same as you makes you an asshole.

STOP HARASSING KENNECROFT SHIPPERS YOU WEIRDOS

i never thought i’d make this post but here i am, i am someone who doesn’t ship them romantically (tho i’ll say some of the fan arts ive seen of them are really cute) BUT you’d never see me tell others to do the same as me, i have a different opinion and pov, you also have different one, simple as that, Grace is an adult, works for the FBI so she’s old enough, so idk why yall pulling your hairs out for this and sending threats and disgusting comments to the shippers, the age gap is big yes but at the same time there’s actual couples irl with those kind of age gaps and they seem to work just fine, the ship is LEGAL and they have chemistry, but everyone is allowed to view it how they want, plus let’s not act like some of yall aren’t reading fics with him where reader is in her 20s, just admit you’re jealous that she can get him and you can’t.

stop being a dick for a fictional ship of two adults, view their dynamic however you want, but DON’T HARASS THE SHIPPERS, they did nothing wrong.

RESPECT THE BOUNDARIES SET BY CCs!!

when they say don't/stop ship them with others, then don't. because you would likely, as a sane person respect their boundaries right?

we don't just watch these types of Minecraft Series for the ships, yaoi or yuri (maybe you do but ur weird for that, respectfully imo) we watch them for the storyline, maybe to watch our faves interact with each other platonically, for our entertainment and whimsy. and this is brought to life by the said content creator that set boundaries for their personal comfort. and you better respect that. showing love to our fave MCYT creators can be very different but one thing we need to have in common is respecting them as a person, meaning that respecting their rights, their boundaries,and their identities.

every relationship in Role-playing Minecraft Series that are made by the CCs themselves, not crossings boundaries or approved by said content creators are the only ones that can be valid.

"but they won't even read it!" or "they won't know!" so what? even if they see/read it or not you need to respect the boundaries that they put up for their fandom. and if you try to cross those very clear and understandable boundaries, respectfully get out of the fandom.

this is not only for The Flight SMP but for other SMPs aswell.

love & peace! loveyalots

ps. this is just my opinion don't burn me at the stake for expressing my thoughts on what's happening.

[magiesheartlove]

Disliking a ship is fine.

Critiquing its development, pacing, or chemistry? Totally valid.

Dehumanizing someone for liking something you don’t?  

That crosses a line!

NO SHIP IS WORTH TREATING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING LIKE THAT!!!
