toxicity in fandom

So, a few months ago I filled out a survey for someone's undergraduate research about fandom participation. And it asked me which fandoms had a reputation for being toxic, which I didn't answer, because a.) I'm in the haikyuu fandom and we are a FUCKING DELIGHT, and b.) what the hell kind of question is that. But I thought of an answer and now you all have to hear about it. And my answer is.....the Bible Fandom.

I mean, come ON. Your canon isn't terrible, but it's not the best, either - and by "your canon," I mean the Jesus RPF that some white guys decided to canonize sometime in the fifth century, after deciding that the 500 years worth of fanfiction was getting out of hand, and they really didn't like all the au's and fan theories that were floating around. So yeah, your canon is only somewhat problematic. I mean, there are some issues, but overall it's about peace and love and self-sacrifice.

And wow, look where y'all went with that. The Bible Fandom in America has some genuinely terrible Big Name Fans, and a lot of them are REALLY fixated on certain fanon ideas. Which those Big Name Fans INSIST are canon, AND they think that unless people agree with them, they should and will suffer for eternity?! What? This aspect of your fandom was pretty problematic to start with, but you're taking it to a whole other level, and I just don't get it. Is drama and discourse FUN for you? Because it's not fun for me, and I don't appreciate it when certain unnamed politicians/fans bring that drama to my timeline.

Anyway, their eternal damnation discourse makes the shipping discourse in my fandom look pretty tame. Not that there's much shipping discourse, because as I said - hq fans are a DELIGHT.

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

Get normaler about introjects by the way. This isn't limited to fictives, either. Get normal about factives as well. When I say introjects in my posts, I always include factives. Some people seem to forget that factives are included in introjection.

"Introjects aren't their source" Applies to factives.

"Plurals don't always control who they introject" Applies to factives.

Factives are always included in my support. I love you factives. You aren't creepy for simply existing.

Thanks.

I love a reunion kiss as much as anybody else but I feel like we're skipping over the more important part. coming back to life after more than two years is a five-minute-reunion-hug-worthy event I would say. also I saw something that said ethari has grown his hair out during this meantime which obviously makes me insane
