donât support Fandom /srs-imp
This is to anyone currently on Fandom.
This is not me trying to persuade you to instantly quit/abandon Fandom, as I know thereâs communities and friendships here, and requesting/suggesting that would be unreasonable. This is me warning you that they are queerphobic pieces of crap.
https://lgbt-pride.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000095167 (this is just one example) (if you canât access the link/it goes to a dead wiki, here are some screenshots)
Multiple of their staff team members seem to be conveniently ignoring their own âno transphobia or homophobiaâ rules, and are in the process of (as far as Iâm aware) deleting EVERY. SINGLE. LGBT+ WIKI, under the pathetic excuses of them being âduplicatesâ, or having âharmful contentâ, or whatever bullshit they like to spew.
They go âoh you have the perfectly good LGBT+ wiki WE made just go THERE dummiesâ, but theyâre PERFECTLY AWARE that that wiki only allows âwell-knownâ or âpopularâ genders, as well as generally having extremely strict rules. They donât care about the queer community, and we need to stop pretending they do.
Be angry. Be pissed. Be sad, be hurt. But DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, go attack no berate them. Theyâll write you off as an emotional woke teenager, and using your own personal experiences donât fking matter to them; I see a lot of ppl do that, and Iâ not insulting them in any way, but Fandom really doesnât care when you go âoh no but MY gender isnât ânormalâ what about me donât you relate to meâ. No. They donât. Your words do. Not. Matter. To. Them. It sucks, the world sucks, but we need to remember that some people are just full of shit.
If you have a small wiki/are working on one/hope to work on one, Iâm begging you, DONâT USE FANDOM. Donât support Fandom. Donât support blatant queerphobes. Spread this post if you can, I beg of you. We canât do much, but anything is better than nothing. Again, I donât demand you instantly quit Fandom or anything, but do what you can. Try alternatives, if possible. Iâm personally using Miraheze as where Iâm moving my own wiki (The Invoker Trilogy wiki) to, and its coding style is pleasantly similar to Fandomâs â they even have a whole page on âso, youâre moving from Fandomâ, lol!
I just wanted to get this out there. Donât support Fandom.
