#stop toxic fandom

[picklesonjupiter]

It's the way that 'Stan James Potter' fans are part of the reason why the Marauders fandom is toxic. You are allowed to dislike characters like Severus Snape, but when you comment on a post about him with 'Stan James' it's rude. The content is for Snape fans, not for people to start harassing Snape fans. Y'all will bully people simply because of fictional characters. There is etiquette within the fandom that you should follow and if you can't respect each other then you shouldn't participate in the fandom.

Also, to the 'Stan Severus snape' fans that have arisen because of these people, please don't stoop to their level. Let them be. They want attention. They want to make people angry.

Let people like what they like, instead of making the fandom hostile.

I came into the SPN Family late, but I don't think that makes me any less of a fan....or a family member. However, it didn't take very long to see that there's the Supernatural Family and then there's the Toxic Fandom.

I read, heard, seen hatred directed at Jensen, Jared, Misha and their FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. People spewing horrible slurs and pure hostility towards one person because they, or their character, doesn't fit the toxic fans' narrative. And once these misanthropes get their talons in, they refuse to let go - grasping at EVERY. LITTLE. THING to use as their excuse to hate whoever it is they hate.

As a grown-ass woman, in her 40's who thoroughly enjoys the show, the actors and others related to SPN (Louden Swain, Cliff, their families), I find the most despicable hatred is directed towards the actors' wives. THEIR WIVES!! THE MOTHER OF THEIR CHILDREN!! What, or who, gives you the right to judge other people's families? Their loved ones?!

Just because these actors put themselves out there, doesn't mean they are fair game for abuse, harassment and to dance around like circus monkeys for you. They're human beings!!

They take time out of their lives: time with family & friends, time off from work/projects, sacrifice vacation time, etc...to do these conventions for us. And there are a lot of you who talk shit about one or all of them. And because they are humans, just like you and me, they will eventually get fed up with the way some of you treat them AND their families, and there will be no more conventions. And you will be the reason why.

No one has the right to judge other people. No one has the right to question anyone else's relationships. No one has the right to bad mouth someone's family. Yet at least once a day, I see some "fan" on social media bitching about an actor, or their storyline, or their wife. You don't have that right. What they do in their lives is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.

They give their time, their talent, their love to all of us hoping to be respected in return. And the majority of us, the SPN FAMILY, treat them with respect, dignity and graciousness.

As far as I'm concerned, any of those who have animosity towards the vast, the crew or their families can fuck off.

My page is a safe place where we love everyone. So don't come at me with your "arguments" or excuses as to why you hate the person you hate.

I love Jared.

I love Jensen.

I love Misha.

I love the entire cast.

I respect their privacy.

I respect their families.

I respect then, as fellow people.

If you're with me, come be my friend. If you're not, I'm sorry your life is so sad & miserable that you feel the need to abhor something you claim to love.

Neutrality is best when in any fandom. Don't argue with people who like characters you don't like (or vice-versa). Don't shame people for the ships they like. Don't bully people for the opinions they have.

Move on if you see something you don't like. Don't leave nasty comments. If you're going to start a discussion, then be mature, and kind, and don't stoop to name-calling.

Fandoms become unsafe and toxic when people start arguments and bully each other for their opinions. Let's make this a safe space for everyone.

People who hate Snape in everything including fanfiction bother me because they can't separate canon and fanon. They'll read one fic where Severus is likable, and they'll enjoy the fic but always put a disclaimer of "I hate Snape, but he isn't bad in this fic".

You can dislike the canon character and love the fanon character. Fanfiction is there to change canon. You can make the characters whatever you want them to be, also Snape is one of those characters who are easy to redeem if they have a character growth arc. I enjoy writing about his character because in canon he wasn't given a good redemption arc just like Draco. Any character can be likable if you look for the enjoyable aspects about them.

Also, it's alright to love morally gray characters and it's also alright if you don't like them. What I need you to understand is that you shouldn't bully a person for the characters they like.

I like canon and fanon Severus Snape, and maybe you don't and that's alright as long as you don't make me feel like shit for liking a character you don't like.

#headcanon: Lexa, from beyond the grave, is actually rooting for Bellamy and Clarke to finally get together. She knows how Clarke feels about him, how much she has always cared for him, and she just wants her to be happy.
