@kixyme https://t.co/p4mfAIvcQi my thoughts but also I genuinely don't see fics as glorifying ccs so much as using them as tools for telling your own stories. Honestly fic has always been more about the author than the inspiration, and in the end it's yours, not theirs.

Quick thoughts on the Wilbur situation:
Please don't delete your fics/art/fanwork.
This shame is not yours to carry. You are not at fault for being blindsided by a liar. You could not have known what happened behind closed doors.

A thread on resources to support Palestine!

- This one will be more updated than my previous thread!!

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

Also good for adults who struggle financially and/or don't have access to certain resources

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

Ik I've been silent on here, but there's so much happening outside our community and this isn't the main platform I use, but I'll repost some resources in the fight for Palestine in case anyone ends up seeing this.
Take care of yourselves and each other! <3

(Obv this is all ultimately up to the artist, and I wouldn't ask ppl to keep things that become triggering, but there are lots of other ways to distance your old content from your acc/name w/o destroying it. )
Do not burn your artwork bc someone else doesn't deserve it.

This isn't to fault anyone for caring, but just to say that the only person responsible for what happened is Wilbur.
So please keep your fanwork. It is still your creation and your memory. It has brought joy to people. Don't let him take that away too.

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

And not saying that didn't also happen on some scale in the mlp fandom but it wasn't the hallmark, defining trait the fandom was known by. Bronies being cringe is so incredibly not the same thing as your fandom being known for bullying people off the internet

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

Kudos to this person idk your life but so incredibly untrue for me lmao

People writing creepy horror or being weird about wanting to fuck cartoons is leagues less problematic than fans harassing other REAL LIVE human beings with doxxing, threats, slurs, etc.

C'mon guys

“dsmp is the most worst most traumatising fandom ever”

none of you were in the MLP fandom, NONE of you.

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

Like looking at the replies and seeing people compare fictional horror stories to the fact that I've watched the dsmp fandom drag actual living minors to hell and convinced them to harm themselves/end their lives...

Like, A LOT of people in the real world got hurt by this bro

Alright goodbye forever again I detest Twitter and everything it stands for goodnight

Post Chris' tweet and seeing the transphobes come out en masse, just wanted to remind everyone that all of the US is about to swing HEAVILY conservative. Laws are going to change. I'm not joking; take actions in the next year to protect yourself.

[Dirade on Ao3 @dirade_]

I'm all for fighting the fight, but things are going to get worse before they get better. Take steps that ensure you'll still be around to keep fighting the fight. Watch your back, protect each other, and pay attention.
