fans used to create extended worlds out of their favourite things like fanfic and art and community. there was an understanding that what *they* personally wanted to see they had to create themselves and it was its own separate beast. now they expect studios to do that for them
@doctorbaixue Hi, Bai 💗! Yeah, I’m sure there are people who feign disgust just to ward off a dogpile. It just especially sucks to hear that from someone who sells “valid” sweatshirts, you know? I’m not sure if it would be worse or better to think she’s only doing it to keep up appearances.
@MaikoMondlicht Right?? She got so close…kind of. Like, she read aloud from that article but went on to speak from the gut anyway. And then the legal misinformation…I get that these laws are complex, but it doesn’t make it any easier to watch Swoop add fuel to the fire
Also hi everyone thank you for being a slice of sanity in this clown pit thank you for listening to the research thank you for providing a space where I can trample my keyboard with my hooves and scream
I’m tempted to message Swoop but what’s the point. She’ll never see my messages and you can tell she’s already made up her mind. I think I should just unsubscribe from everyone but my RL friends’ channels.
I wanted to honor Amber’s allegations, but along the way I forgot pivotal information and now I’m pretty sure I’ve made things worse for everyone involved. I’m sorry this keeps happening. I think I should probably get off this account for a while. Wishing you all well.
Media illiteracy is only part of that
The other part is ppl, including other victims, truly believe there's only one type of good victim and anything outside of that is either fetishizing or just plain made up
That's not even for SA either, that's all abuse, really
@oknolisten I mean, I hope you don't blame yourself for not realizing!! I'm glad you came to an understanding later, but I definitely wouldn't think of it right off the bat, and if she was telling this stuff to others, it doesn't change the fact that she was slandering you.
