Being told i dont belong in fandoms. Being told that people like me are not the target audience for anything and that we cant ask for representation and comfort.
I have a hard life and i want something to ease my mind too! I am dealing with so much shit some of these people will never understand and believe me i am not saying it lightly. I might not be here too long. And I cant even have a small escape from reality and a fandom that doesnt shit on people like me?
People should start treating acephobia and aphobia seriously like they do any bigotry. Why no one cares about us? Because we are so alien to you? So inhuman and incomprehensible? We don't deserve compassion and to feel joy and euphoria of seeing ourselves in media? To feel comfortable and accepted?
I recently been in a very depressing mood that I wont elaborate since i dont want this to be too upsetting because of how much backlash ive been receiving and how i feel so much hostility coming everywhere when we get fed up and start speaking loudly instead of staying silent.
And believe me im not alone. There are others who are dealing with it. It takes a bit of kindness and putting yourself in others shoes not to treat us like trash. Even if it seems like a minor issue to you. Oh it's just some media. No its more than that. Some people are barely hanging on as it is. If you dont understand, how hard it is to just not to say anything? How hard it is to just not to leave acephobic comments?
Why is there so little empathy for us?
I'm so sorry anon. I know you might've heard this before (and excuse me if I'm interpreting some of the "I won't be here for long" parts) but please look to the suicide prevention hotline if anything happens. You are here, you are valid, and you can always find comfort in me and my blog. I don't know if I set my messages to open or not, but I think I will just in case anybody wants a place to put some things without it being broadcast to the rest of the website.
