[chlo @chlozanov]

how it feels to be on hrtwt without being in any gcs, having no priv, loving both shane & ilya AND both hudson & connor, having a major in hollanov & a minor in lighthearted hudcon rpf, and maintaining a sense of joy despite the daily horrors

[Heated Rivalry Updates @heatedrivalryud]

I’m going to say something (or a lot of something’s) and people aren’t going to like it but I don’t care at this point. I am watching the mental health of too many people sink so low. People are deactivating.

HRTWT is being destroyed by small subsets of people who are desperate to have some sort of power because they have none in their real lives. No “group” is innocent of it because I’ve seen it from all sides. People who only want to suck the joy out of everyone else to make them as miserable as they are.

I was in a fandom for a queer show about ~5-7 years ago, and I was fairly “popular” on Twitter within it. Big fish, small pond, etc. There was an anonymous blog on Tumblr who was basically dedicated to hating the girlfriend of one of the actors under the guise of being a “fan”. Classic misogyny, we’ve seen it a million times at this point. I had gotten this actor’s attention through the fandom because I made a lot of silly edits that people liked and I loved helping the community raise money for charities. I still do, that’s why I do it here. Anyway, this blog turned their hate toward me and they and their anonymous friends would say vile, terrible untrue things about me and decide who I was without ever knowing me personally. I spent so much time and energy reading this blog and I would cry and cry and I would talk about it on here and bring more attention to it because it was upsetting! They had gotten pretty emboldened at one point and had started making jokes about how I was going to stalk the actor. I just kept giving them more and more of my energy because no, these things aren’t true! And then one day, I decided that I didn’t care. I stopped responding, I stopped making it worth their time, I stopped giving them power and the problem went away. I was able to enjoy my time online a lot more after that.

Another big issue I have noticed is the constant attack and accusations at fanfic authors, mostly accusing them of AI. Art spaces are already under attack beyond this fandom, and are having real life repercussions. Harassing fanfic authors because you don’t like what they’re writing, you think they’re using AI (despite them saying they’re not!), etc does not make you the hero you think you are. Fandoms are best when they are filled with art, pure labors of love from the fans, and I’m watching that art get stripped away daily. Art that brings a lot of people joy…if you can be more vocal to artists and authors whose work you enjoy, please do. When they’re only getting negative comments, it makes them more likely to disappear.

Please, I am begging the fandom, the people who love this show and love these actors for their art, to please start being more vocal about the things you love. Share the art and the fanfics and the edits and the good things that are in this fandom! There are so many lovely people here and amazing things that get buried. It’s Pride Month for fucks sake!! Stop trying to prove your favorite is better than someone else’s. No one is perfect. Misery loves company but you have the power to damper its control.
