there’s this fic discourse happening rn about how terrible the ‘popular’ fics in fandom are, and they’re talking about these authors like they’re rich nepo baby industry plants and not just other normal people writing fanfiction for fun and it’s making me crazy
reminder that saying “i hate this ship and you’re a pedophile for liking it” isn’t criticism, it’s harassment and nobody wants to hear your fuckass “critique” on their ships to begin with
@naasfaltimakar Words spoken by someone who has never, and will never, create anything in their life so they literally don't have an understanding of a passion project.
As insignificant as a flea.
This is the textbook example of what’s wrong with people today
YOU don’t need to consume art YOU don’t like
Art is subjective and YOU will never like everything. Not everything is made for YOU. Just watch shit YOU like. The world doesn’t revolve around YOU
"how are you doing to explain to your family and the cops that you're sending me rape and death threats, which are illegal?"
"how are you going to explain to your family that you write immoral fanfics about fictional characters?"
real interaction I just witnessed
hey so being in a fandom is optional. if you hate seeing certain ships or fics and can’t give people basic respect, leaving is a way easier and less annoying option than whatever this is
damn everyone is so strict about porn and kinks in fics lately, i'm sorry but imma write whatever i want, even if it makes yall angry as fuck for no reason
@neon_heartbeat what gets me is how readily a lot of people are aligning themselves with censorship advocates all in the name of protecting a fictional character's "autonomy"
a correctly tagged fic, one person throwing a temper tantrum because they don’t know how to exclude tags on ao3 and didn’t even read the fic, harassment campaign, author removes fic. Some of yall don’t belong in fandom, you belong in a catty bitch theater troupe
