I think it’s pretty fucking sick to slide into peoples DMs and demand that they spill their trauma and sexual history so that you can judge whether or not they’re engaging with content in the ‘right way’. You don’t get to know this stuff just so that you can play fandom cop
anyways. thats my stance and it'll never change. I just wish more people saw it this way, because itd make for a much nicer fandom experience for EVERYONE. I literally only come on here to like beautiful art and now all ive seen the past few days is drama and call out posts 😕
"omg im so tired" block and move on with your own life instead of making witch hunt lists where the info being spread isnt even true in some cases. it will genuinely make you feel better. this is not how fandom is supposed to be run. this is insanity
you arent responsible for others' wellbeing, so theres no need to make these call out posts so "other people can block them". especially when most dont even know they exist in the first place, or wouldnt have interacted with them otherwise.
ok seems like it's time to fire a few rent-lowering shots because i'm seeing a lot of fuckass discourse in the periphery: if you harass people over their fictional DDDNE content/consumption please unfollow me. you're allowed to draw your personal line of discomfort wherever the fuck you want to but if you don't like what someone posts/engages with you should block them and block the tags and the words and whatever else. i'm so tired of seeing people on here with "proship dni" in their bio who also at the same time are going OUT OF THEIR WAY to interact with the very people/content they claim to hate/not want to interact with. it's immature as fuck and exhausting to see the same drama play out over and over and over again. be a fucking adult and curate your own online space please.
i'm old enough that i remember a time where this used to go unsaid in fandom, and god do i miss it.
for the record, i have my own personal lines! i don't PERSONALLY enjoy or engage with certain topics in fiction! that's why you don't see me reposting or liking or replying to content related to those topics! if i like something, you'll know, because i'll repost/interact with it. but i no longer have ANY tolerance for the harassment campaigns and witchhunts disguised as callout posts from people trying to appeal to some kind of moral higher authority. if you can comprehend that liking fictional cannibalism or fictional toxic relationships is not the same as condoning them irl, then you should be able to apply the same logic to other topics. just because you or i do not fuck with the topic does not mean that those who do fuck with it are irl criminals or deserve to be harassed. and if you have "____ dni" in your bio but are choosing to interact YOURSELF with people/content that upsets you...i think you need to log off.
