If I had a nickel for every time a dsmp member was a bad person I'd have a lot of nickels.

I've started playing this game called Pressure and it's really fun but the fandom (at least on TikTok) is horrible, like they treat the devs like total garbage while also demanding stuff and horribly mischaracterize a lot of the characters but Sebastian specifically.

Omg the author I was talking about came back, luckily they were just putting their stuff under mystery bc they were getting a lot of spam lately and not just dispersing off the face of the earth.

One of my favorite ao3 authors put all of their works under mystery works and idk why, they said they were excited to post the next chapter of an ongoing fic like a week ago and now everything's just gone :( I only know it's their fics cuz I realized you can still see comments on hidden works.

i love gtws but i can’t stand watching his vods it’s just constantly filled with chat trauma dumping through the voice reader thing it brings me so much anxiety, especially when they bring up invasive topics/questions

Yeah that's completely understandable, that's a big reason why I also don't like watching streams/vods anymore.

I keep going to the theater and I have to layer my glasses with 3d glasses cuz they aren't advertising what is/isn't a 3d showing.

Woo… Light vent here with lots of words, but a soft tone I hope. Had to get thoughts out so I can sleep so bear with me.

Just came across a well-reblogged post full of people dogpiling on a server's canon story event that played a large role in the series plot, with users talking about how they hate any fandom content that interprets this event as something the character "did on purpose," or with any sign of them not being morally pure.

Their stated view was that character only engaged in X behavior to protect another character, with users shouting thanks to OP for saying they hate other views and that they agree this is the only clear way to interpret the event. Zhuh?! The comments were full of agreement that art and fics that treat X story event legitimately (as in, presenting that character showing no remorse, which they canonically didn't according to my personal watch) are annoying, gross, shouldn't be in the fandom, etc.

I genuinely wish I could ask someone who dislikes the story event (and is safe to talk to) for more info on their view that this character was only cruel during this event to protect someone... I do think it would be really cool to hear a polite perspective about their interpretation, which so greatly differs from my interpretation of X that I struggle to wrap my head around it, but… after seeing many reblogs and hate, I think I'll keep my head down. The event happened in canon, but even if it had been a fanmade concept that got popular, it'd be pretty hurtful to see so much bashing circulating.

They have the right to that opinion, but I wish it was kept in a community or a discord server of like-minded people rather than circulating, just because there were some pretty harsh things said.

I'd love to reach out more and make friends in this community, but I'm still new here and already feel very once bitten and twice shy. I've had a few harsh messages in my inbox from people saying they hate my interpretations and dread the fandom content I create (even when it's properly tagged and kept out of main tags in some cases), and... it just comes full circle I guess.

Even though my art may not be palpable to some folks, I'm okay with that. Sometimes fandom's just like that when you go against the grain. Still, it's certainly Something tm to see so much hate for a canon event (and bashing towards artists, analysists, and writers who take that event at face value) when it's one of my favorite plot points due to how much character depth and complexity it adds.

Every fandom has its fights and ship wars and hated tropes, sadly. There are story events that are not to some people's tastes and that's okay. I just wish the idea of squicks would resurface rather than so many things being seen as morally reprehensible, as I think it really stifles the ability to connect with people and experience the beauty and variety you get through having many points of view.

I guess at its core, it hurts because my dream is to listen to someone gush to me about something they're passionate about even if I don't personally know much or really like that thing, and it makes me sad that I saw such a surge of people thanking OP for their post and how they also agree that X interpretations are unwanted in the fandom in general. It's one of those things that make you wonder how many of the friends you do have would dump you if they find out you like X (which was not dead dove in my mind, but a plot point that depicted a character making cruel choices). I suppose that's how you weed out fake friends, but it's a doozy.

I'll do my part to make my corner of the fandom fun for me, even if I make unpopular content, as it holds value to me even if many others dislike it. To close, I'd just like to say I hope others will think about the words they're using, what group of people they hurt by their word choice, the fact that content is generally shared for free and you can turn away and filter if it's not for you, and I hope we'll have a warmer community someday <3

Apologies for the long post, and thanks. Seeing so much venom towards the imperfect characters I'm passionate about really caught me off guard and I needed to put it into words so I can sleep.

Wishing you and anyone who creates content that goes against the grain well, and I hope art lovers and fic lovers and analysis lovers who would love your content will someday find you!

I had a weird dream last night where I was looking at blind boxes and Technoblade came up to me and was like "Lets go play Minecraft" so I agreed and we left the store and started playing and irl version of Minecraft and he kept pulling out his phone to use Twitter and stuff and I said "Hey you're not the real Technoblade, right? Cuz you're dead" and he told me that he was like an AI's interpretation of Technoblade and then I woke up.

Hey does anyone remember Viowynn? The transgender streamer who was arrested mid stream, I was making dinner than I suddenly remembered her but I couldn't find anything about her after 2022. I just want to know if she's safe.
