#and leave everyone else alone

Look, if you’re gonna send me hate mail, at least be creative with it.

And you should probably give your therapist a call.

You are correct. You’re not rude. Anymore. You’re cruel and fucked up. I know the people who know you in real life are afraid of saying no to you. First you ignored clear set boundaries (which actually is rude, so congrats on that, genius), and now you’re wishing violent things on a stranger who doesn’t feel like putting up with your bullshit.

By the way, internet harassment like this is illegal in the US. Thank you for giving me evidence to show to police if the need ever arises.

So I've read way too many comments on this so I could block all the antis and it's honestly intriguing.

1. They routinely are suicide baiting like this is a normal thing to say to people you disagree with.

2. They are thoroughly convinced that we would do these things in real life.

3. yOu WoUlDnT tElL yOuR mOm. I literally do. I literally have. She doesn't care either.

4. Saying yta should go to hell. Your Christian is showing I don't give a single fuck about your hell nor do your rules apply.

5. "You should lose your job for this!" My boss at my last job was a huge Game of Thrones fan I guarantee she never thought consuming fictional incest content was dangerous.

6. "You're all freaks." Eh I've been called worse. At least I'm not telling strangers to kill themselves over an aita post.

7. "If they thought it was okay, why'd they make an alt?" Maybe so people who say this wouldn't harass them? Like if people know others will come for them, of course they're gonna protect themselves. As it turns out that doesn't mean they're in the wrong, it means they're scared of harassment. "Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear" is such classic fascist thought policing and yall just saying it here unironically like a gotcha, it's insane to me.

8. "None of the ytas have siblings" I can't think of anything more disgusting than imagining fucking my brother, tyvm, and anon is still the asshole.

But the part that intrigues me the most I'd the way their rhetoric is self-enforcing. As in, these people already believe that Most Strangers Are Dangerous and to them results like this confirm that. They truly believe that this result reflects 60% of Tumblr being "pro incest in real life" and therefore dangerous, and this increases their isolation from reason and logic and any form of sense whatsoever. Their echo chamber can't let in a peep that suggest maybe we're actually just. Normal people. Who are anti-censorship. Who understand that writing incest isn't normalization or grooming.

These people have so much to unpack of their own behavior. It's honestly terrifying that there are hundreds and hundreds of them on this post, who really think they're heroes and people who disagree with them should die and somehow believe this makes them the normal ones.

I'm scared about the way censorship is getting rationalized in so many circles on tumblr. I'm honestly horrified that nta has such a high percentage.

I'm so worried about the future yall have no fucking idea.

Also if you see this and think voting yta means someone is a freak, should die, whatever, just fucking block me. You're creepy and really need to sit down and have a long, hard think about the differences between fictional characters and real people. Fiction can and does influence reality, but not in the way you think, and I will die on the hill of defending a real person from harrassment over the stories they tell. Do you guys go this hard at VC Andrews???

AITA for 'outing' someone for writing inc*st?

I (20F) am in a moderately large fandom that got popular during the pandemic. Most of the fic for this fandom is gen and platonic pairings, which is a rarity and fantastic. One of the most popular creators in the fandom puts out a ton of gen fics that I really loved. Unfortunately, I learned after that they write fics on a different account, and not just any fics, but inc*st. I'm not talking about found family. These characters are literal brothers in canon. I can't believe anyone would ship them together, much less this person. I unfollowed them and now, whenever I see anyone talking about how much they love this creator, I inform them about the alt account and their ships. Ignorance may be bliss, but I felt awful when I found out and realized I'd been supporting them for so long and I don't want anyone else to feel that way. But someone replied to one of my comments calling me the asshole, telling me I was outing the creator, and to mind my own business. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[returntotheground]

i s2g some of y'all need to be fucking bound and gagged before interacting with niche art or indie creative endeavors

like no, your performative comments of "this is sooo weird are you insane? it is soooooo weird you must have been on drugs" is actually what is weird and frankly make you look like a child an idiot

so maybe sit back and be quiet and actually think about what you're looking at for once in your life

(edit made bc actually most children i know would absolutely jump on board of absolutely buckwild fictional premises without question. if only more adults would be willing to do the same)

thinking about crowyuan saving liu qingge from his qi deviation and disappearing before he can fully wake up so he won't be recognized (him being a demon and all), but it causes liu qingge to accidentally mistake him for shen qingqiu.

there is a massive fight during the next peak lord meeting, with liu qingge accusing shen qingqiu of saving his life and not taking responsibility for it as if it's a war crime, while shen qingqiu keeps denying he had anything to do with it and if he had saved liu qingge, he'd be rubbing it in his face every chance he got.

it escalates and escalates until liu qingge, red with embarrassment and anger, points at shen qingqiu and says "you were cradling me in your arms!" and shen qingqiu explodes.

mu qingfang tries to calm them down by saying that perhaps liu qingge hallucinated, which is not uncommon for a qi deviation, but that sets off some of the other peak lords who now start teasing him for "dreaming of shen qingqiu coming to rescue him", and of course that only makes it worse.

liu qingge refuses to let it go and starts bringing shen qingqiu his victories to try and pay off his debt, because he is an honorable man and he will not let shen qingqiu get away with this!!

meanwhile shen yuan is watching it from a distance wondering whether he made it better or worse by stepping in.

Bees and wasps have something against me personally idk my like pheromones are rancid to bees. I stepped out into the deck to tell my mother something once and a wasp instantly flew up and stung my arm. I had been outside a total of three seconds. My mother had been outside for hours and nothing was bothering her.

have you ever been stung by a bee?

This is what it's like to be a Little Mac fan who actually remembers his age

Stranger Things x Breakfast Club AU (part ?)

They end up standing by a window- light hits the angles of Danny’s face, the bluish, vague refraction from the snowy city, and the warm golden lights of the party carving him out like a Leyendecker portrait.

I can finally post this!!! From chapter 8 of my DeadTired fic Better Halves (and other such falsehoods) I am actually so obsessed with this one- the chapter, the art, the way Tim describes Danny? Ugh it's just so good

[my-pjo-stuff]

Love how Luke's response to Percy asking, “why don’t they mess with you?" being “they know better” implies that Clarisse (or other Ares kids) infact DID attempt to mess with him at some point. Only for Luke to proceed to whoop their asses so hard they never tried again XD

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

I feel so bad for Angry here though, he's just left alone in the hospital waiting for them to wake up. He looks so panicked too, with the dark circles under his eyes. He's just alone with his panic and worries

[ef-1]

Yuki and daniel unfollowing each other on insta😭😭 I actually think it’s hilarious and I understand both of them lol

Daniel never followed Yuki, it's giving

[joejhang]

is it just me i hate when ppl characterise neil as like naive or innocent or clueless in fics and headcanons??? like esp w sexual stuff it's just not rlly in character?? like in canon, he may be oblivious to andrew's advances but he is fully aware that he's a pretty boy and he may be sexually inexperienced but it's pretty ooc for him to be so vocal even if he is confused abt something. and like IDK i just need the fandom to stop babying neil like he knows pretty well what he's doing and even if he doesn't, he figures it out himself just fine. and he isn't naive or innocent it's pretty clear just read the goddamn books.

Since we’re on the topic of video games, im tired of these fucking remakes. Ive said it before but i’ll say it again each time. These companies dont wanna invest in an actually good remaster or port and would rather waste their time with these remakes bcuz “ooh look how shiny and better the graphics look!!1!1!1” often times it has an empty feeling because everything has to be ultra realism super 6000. Its gotten so bad that now regular gamers are starting to gaslight you into playing or enjoying them. So much has been lost artistically, (like the cool UI designs) that it’s now considered “juvenile” and that i need to “grow up” and “accept it” 😂

this person has me blocked, which is something i used to genuinely lament because occasionally i'd see bits of their very thoughtful commentary floating across my dash, and i'd find myself sighing sadly over what other gems of wisdom i was missing out on by not having access to their blog. i'd even lament about it via dms to some of my pals who did still have access to this person's blog. what interesting discussions must have been happening beyond that "???" "this is no one" "uh, who??" opaque door that tumblr always presented to me whenever i clicked on this person's username? would i ever know?

a friend this morning: want to see a bad take to get mad at

me: obviously yes

anyway as it turns out, it looks like i'm missing out on exactly nothing, actually, so that's a huge relief

more seriously, recalling the insightful commentary that i have seen this person reblog in the past when it has come across my dash, i am frankly in awe of this one, because it is so profoundly disconnected from reality and how people experience stories. like i'm not even sure where to start with peeling back all of the wrongness layers at work here because i haven't taken my adhd meds yet this morning, but the primordial stupidity at this take's core (coming from someone who is clearly smart, ftr, i am targeting the stupidity of the concept, not the person) has made me genuinely angry. it's not even just about applying this framework to mdzs, though of course it is principally about that because this book DOES actually place class front and centre at multiple points in the narrative. it's the idea that we just shouldn't be having conversations about classism, or sexism, or [x]-ism, in the romance genre, because don't we realize the point is the romance, actually?? these other things clearly don't matter and aren't worth talking about??? and this mindset is so utterly foreign to me because at no point have i ever felt compelled to stop myself from thinking thoughts about a book because "oh, but this is genre fiction, i need to turn my brain off to read and enjoy this, i forgot." or "this thought is not appropriate because genre fiction, i'd better stop thinking it before i ruin the story."

like. i am deeply, deeply sorry for this person, actually, that they are not picking up on precisely what mxtx is putting down in the text, especially considering mxtx has explicitly explored themes of class in at least two of her novels (i'll get back to you on including svsss once i've read it). but also, a critique of class in the jianghu, or how mxtx has written her female characters, is entirely as valid use of fandom time and energy as writing one more definitely original and not remotely repetitive thinkpiece on the power of wangx!an's morally good love to overcome all obstacles (not saying OP wrote any of these, just that there ARE a bunch of them out there).

like. why do you want to simplify the experience of reading and thinking and talking about these books? why do you want to push for more boring analysis of stories? why are you using your platform to encourage this? i'm so mad about it actually. people listen to you, and this is what you're encouraging them to do: think less.
