Teaching children that something innocent they enjoy (anthro animals or my little pony for example) is an inherently sexual thing to the adults in their communities puts children at risk as they will accept sexual behaviour as the norm when they see it.

Spreading the rhetoric that fans of MLP or Anthros are inherently a sexual thing isnt just incorrect, its dangerous.

These communities should be safe for children. Having NSFW things in the fandoms is not the issue, its the idea that these fandoms are inherently sexual which is spread by cringe culture and outsiders, which makes it easier for p3dophiles and predators to operate within these spaces under the guise of kink.

Unpopular Opinion: Don’t play gate-keeper for the LGBTQIA+ community. No one person can decide who is or isn’t allowed to be a part of it. Once you start excluding people, you start creating discrimination within a group that has enough outside discrimination. “No straight people” excludes heterosexual trans people. “No cishet people” excludes intersex individuals who identify as cisgender and heterosexual. We don’t win by excluding people. No one in the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be excluded because of bad wording or lack of empathy by other community members.

Something that I believe fandoms are starting to forget these days is that shipping has never been about making something canon/holding up canon.

Shipping has always been about exploring themes outside the canon works so that fans can enjoy the original in different ways and express their love for it through creativity and hard work. Shipping also has always been about uplifting and supporting the media you ship from. And in the last few years I’ve seen the opposite:

Shippers have fought to make their ships canon

Shippers have attacked and sometimes even threatened the livelihood of the creators of the media they claim to like

Shippers have even said they hate the media their ships come from

Shippers have shown a complete disconnect from the original media they ship from and opt to just pretend the canon doesn’t exist at all

Other notable things I’ve seen shippers do, which I can’t believe a human person could even sanely do: get staff members fired in the name of making their ship canon, steal charity money to buy merch, pressure creators into shifting the media so much that it gets warped and holds very little passion in it anymore (and then later shit on the creators for how ‘bad’ it is and how much they messed up their precious favorite media), doxx creators and voice actors and threaten their families (sometimes because they play a “problematic” character, sometimes because they express that they like a ship), bully small fan creators off platforms/into attempting su***de, and much more.

Sometimes I think we forget that we don’t own the media we consume. And I think we also forget that just because we don’t like something or it makes us uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean that it’s morally or legally a crime. You are not the police. It is not your duty to uphold some fake internet laws. And honestly, if you can’t find anything you can appreciate about a piece of media aside from the two characters you ship together, I think it’s best that you examine why you’re putting yourself through this, and if this is a healthy form of escapism.

Another thing I’d like to mention too: “fandom activism” is not activism. If you put forth all this energy for fictional characters but do nothing to support real people of those demographics, you’re not being helpful. And most of the time, you’ll find that you’re actually gatekeeping what the people of those communities can do. I know it can be hard when you’re so emotionally attached to something, especially if it helps you cope with some underlying issues, but that isn’t an excuse for thinking you are the ruler of all things fandom in those communities and that it is your job to dictate what goes on and how. You’re on the same level as every other fan. You’re a consumer and a fan.

Thank you for reading. I hope this little rant can reach some people who need to hear it.

People keep searching for ways to argue that JK Rowling has always been a horrible person deep down as a way of explaining her recent behaviour.

But here’s the thing: that’s probably not true at all.

Pretending it is discounts the harsher, scarier truth: that even decent, well-meaning people can be radicalised by dangerous, hateful, predatory groups, and given enough time they can become truly hideous versions of their former selves.

It can happen to me. It can happen to you. It can happen to any of us, given the right mix of circumstances. And over the past few years, we’ve seen it happen to one of the most famous children’s authors of our age.

Nobody is immune.

So you’re saying that The Clown wasn’t always… outright evil?

the-angry-ship-deactivated20220

No one is born evil

agender-thanos

Well…

Good point, but prejudice is best installed at a young age. Why is why I assumed the said Clown was just evil since some early part of their life.

What I’m saying is that JKR, like so many average people, very likely started off in a place of well-meaning ignorance. Then she started exploring new and different ideas being shared online. Some ideas resonated deeply with her experiences as an abuse survivor, so she began exploring them deeper. Then, wham, public backlash. Her trauma is triggered - but so is her curiosity. After all, if something she did or said set people off, maybe she’s onto something. So she starts exploring more. Starts asking more questions. And when she does this in public, there is always backlash. Meanwhile, however, in private, her new friends are telling her “See? This is proof we’re right. This is proof that the world wants us silenced, because they’re scared of the truth, and they really hate women that much.” And what do you know, what they’re telling her starts sounding more and more reasonable, especially since the outside world is becoming more and more hostile.

And round and round it goes, until you have a radical.

fierceawakening

This is absolutely how radicalization works. I started out “I could never be a feminist, they hate kinksters” (yes, this was a massive oversimplification) and within, oh, i think two years? i was saying “well, i don’t like the overtones of ‘radical feminist’ but what’s so wrong with saying you’re a radical AND a feminist? we need to make sure there’s space for traumatized women who really do legitimately hate and fear men.” When you become an extremist, you become UNRECOGNIZABLE even to YOURSELF.

#also JKR is just the most famous and most heinous case#there are MANY MANY young people being indoctrinated with the same ideals within the circles they found safety and community in#i do not care that JKR has been radicalised; i am far more worried about people not recognising the radicalising process#and how it invades queer and women’s communties to deliberately and actively create harmful environments#as disappointing and gross as JKR is; it’s#it’s important to recognise that radical ideologies (be they alt-right racism or TERFdom) are spread (via @wondersmith-and-sons)

There is also this….revisionist tendency to say that JKR has always been a closet bigot and conservative and right-wing since she got famous, but that’s not even entirely true. One of her first major political stirrups was criticising Tory austerity measures and David Cameron, (she also once said “people who send their children to boarding schools seem to feel that I’m on their side. I’m not.”), donating to Labour and being openly supportive of the British welfare state. She has, in at least one interview (from 2000) self-proclaimed to be left-wing. As early as 2003, she claimed that one of her biggest writing influences was a Jessica Mitford, who Rowling described as a “self-taught socialist”.

This isn’t to apologise for her behaviour or rehabilitate her into some former activist who is still worthy of saving; it’s to contextualise her recent descent into TERFdom compared to her previous political stances she’s openly held. She was probably never going to be a staunch ally for equality and diversity, and yes, a lot of the HP series were very problematic in retrospect, but she could very easily have gone the other way and at the very least turned out to be less of a bigoted shitbag she is now. The fact that her politics in late 2000′s/early 2010′s were similar to so many people who are now activists and organisers for queer, BIPOC and vulnerable communities should tell us to be all the more careful about radfem ideology and transphobia in progressive spaces.

It’s comforting to say “we should have known in hindsight that she was always going to become a TERF, the early signs were all there!” but that’s also not true. We have to recognise that the toxic ideology, the active harm she chooses to participate in, was a deliberate choice; this was a path she chose to go down, not one that was pre-determined for her. It’s also an easy way to separate ourselves from being critical of radfem influence; “JKR was always a right-wing bigot and that’s why she became indoctrinated with radfem bullshit. I’m not a right-wing bigot, therefore unlike her, I will never fall for radfem bullshit.”

People who become radicalised, including those to become radfems, were not always irredeemable right-winger proto-Conservatives doomed for extremism and hatred, and that’s the point. The revisionist idea that she was always beyond salvaging erases how TERFs recruit people (especially vulnerable, impressionable people) in queer, progressive and liberal circles and how easily their dogwhistles can go undetected. The idea that JKR was already a closet right-winger from the get-go and therefore could never have been a good person is ultimately unhelpful because all it does it separate from the reality of how radfem doctrine spreads. TERFs sell their own toxic, harmful views packaged as progressive ideas as part of their strategy and that’s why their ideology is dangerous and requires constant vigilance to drive out.

And all of the above is why you should never look down on someone for posting sweet/silly/memey shit while the world is on fire. People on the path to being radicalized DON’T take mental breaks or a step back when it gets too much.

emeraldmercury

TLDR JKR wasn’t a TERF from day 1. She was a normal person who was brainwashed and indoctrinated. And this can happen to you too.

cookingwithroxy

And as a note: TERFs aren’t right wing. That they don’t mind agreeing with right-wingers does not make them right-wing, just that horseshoe theory is true, and people on the extremes of a position have more in common than their differences. The one thing that they agree with their right-wing counterparts is that they both hate trans people, and that’s why they’re willing to work together for that common cause.

Calling TERFs right-wing is just another step of the ‘it could never happen here!’ mindset that needs to be abandoned, because this is always going to be a thing.
