#<- (joke I am practicing not being delusionally parasocial with artists)

I think im going to have to start not caring or worrying about if im somehow “supporting” or “promoting” bad things or people with my actions or money because it literally gives me so much anxiety, not because im worried about doing something genuinely bad, because i know how to navigate nuanced moral situations and trust that i will know through discernment when to do or not do something, but because im afraid of other people, especially large groups of other people, thinking i or my friends or anything i care about is evil because we are navigating a situation differently morally lol

Like i just accidentally saw some of The Discourse about “doing Harry Potter fandom at all now is basically delusional and evil and you have to stop” and im gonna be so real however much i don’t like JKR and don’t want to direct my money toward her and will spread word when applicable that she sucks, i truly think if i lived like the people who think about whether like, all of current HP fandom on Ao3 dot edu or whatever is doing Evil by participating in their hobby I truly feel like I would go insane???? My work and fandom isn’t an advertisement and I have so little money I don’t know what the point of this would be other than manipulating me into moral prostration or something and after touching grass lately i find it truly deranged. Like genuinely if you talk to one single mature adult person outside of fandom about this you will see how deranged it is
