Stop misappropriating the abuse and trauma cults use through purity culture for your stupid fucking shipping discourse? Holy fuck no wonder everyone hates this whole discourse.

Since when is "priests getting shuffled around after raping kids and kids being told they're sinful because they had bodily reactions to being SAd" comparable to "Bobo the clown said my ship was cringe"

I'm not gonna answer this with The Aristocrats, as a I threatened, because I want to make a very serious point to this anon:

Purity culture isn't just religious abuse. It is most widely connected to religious abuse. Including actions in the Catholic Church and all fundamentalist Christianity. It's entire existence is about terrifying and indoctrinating people into being fearful of their own actions and bodies so that they feel certain that moving out from the "umbrella of safety" (to use a fundamentalist term) will result in them being harmed in ways they can't imagine. This is generally happening at the same time as they are being harmed by those who are supposed to be keeping them safe from all those terrible, worldly evils. Like speaking up when you're being abused. Believing you are not responsible for the actions of a rapist, and many, many other things that any person with an ounce of self-worth and good sense (two things not allowed in fundamentalist circles) knows are true in abuse situations.

But the point of the purity culture as identity in the above-mentioned circles is to teach people from birth that they aren't to have their own feelings, ideas, or instincts. They are only to follow the feelings, ideas, and instincts on the approved list in order to stay within the structures they know and feel safe in even as they feel very unsafe.

That being said:

Purity culture can also exist WITHOUT a religious structure while still being about controlling the thoughts, feelings, and actions of everyone within it. In terms of fandom, purity culture is groups of people stating that if you write something uncomfortable or gross or immoral, then YOU must be uncomfortable or gross or immoral and therefore, not worthy of the safety and moral superiority of the group.

Purity culture without religion teaches black and white thinking, encourages thought policing, and shames anyone who steps outside of a very narrow definition of good and bad by turning an entire group of people against them for being "bad".

Just like in religious circles.

Just like in the cult of fundamentalism.

Purity culture is a term taken by fundamentalists and turned into a whole way of life because the goal of fundamentalism is to make people too scared to leave. Purity culture in fandom does the same thing. It uses fear and threats of abandonment/harassment to control the way people act because a group of people decided they didn't like something, so they must try and wipe it out rather than simply ignore it.

I am not mis-using the term because "Bobo the clown said my ship was cringe." My use of the term is intentional and precise because what is happening in fandom spaces now is non-religious purity culture cult thinking. My use of the term does not invalidate or water down the use of it in conversations about religious abuse and trauma. With or without religion, purity culture is a dangerous cult of "us vs them" that is built to demoralize and eradicate those deemed unworthy.

You're a proshipper and you advertise it in your bio? Do you ship incest and pedo shit?

it's actually a very common misconception, because the misconception has been intentionally perpetuated by antis, that proship means "problematic" or that a person who says they are proship personally ships anything that antis specifically don't like, which can include things like age gaps, incest, etc. they might or they might not. that is not even part of the definition.

today's vocabulary lesson:

proship: literally pro (supporting, in favor of) shipping (imagining fictional relationships between characters for funsies).

anti or antiship: has a lot of rage and few brain cells, attacks people from behind the safety of online anonymity, wants to control other people's thoughts and feelings in order to soothe the constant inexplicable feelings of rage and panic that torment them day and night, loves puritanism, fascism, ultra-right conservatism, censorship, hate, bullying, causing harm to other humans, and hurting real people, all under the banner of a completely fake self-righteous cause, to excuse themselves from culpability for their horrible, cruel, mean-spirited, hateful, harmful, ultra-conservative fundamentalist fascist behavior.

so, what we have learned today is that all proship actually means is live and let live, don't harass, don't attack, don't cause harm to real people over fictional imaginary playtime stuff.

but to answer your question hell yeah i do fictional incest is hot af

have a blessed day!! 💖

And yet two seconds later they were all laughing. These people are so obnoxious.

this is hilarious.

here’s timestamps for the ‘argument’ and then lou and ryan cracking each other up, literally 3 minutes later:

and here’s the video of lou making ryan laugh:

[antspaul]

when people say that it’s obvious that a lot of f1blr have never followed a sport before, they’re not saying that it’s a BAD thing to have an entry point into sports fandom. like, it’s tumblr, a lot of people belong to communities that are marginalized in traditional sports spaces. everyone has to start somewhere. it’s also okay to mostly engage with the sport through the lens of traditional tumblr fandom. like, that’s mostly how i use this particular platform. who cares.

what is grating to ME is when people don’t see a difference between sports fandom and traditional tumblr fandom, and start treating different team/driver preferences as dangerous conflict. or start demanding moral justifications for those preferences. or treat preferences/interpretations different than their own as moral failings and not pretty basic natural outgrowths of sports fandom spaces.

that sort of behavior just demonstrates to me that the person hasn’t interacted at all with sports fandom spaces other than tumblr. sports are essentially about arbitrary conflict and tribalism yknow? nothing dangerous about that.

[crazy-ache]

I’m here to enjoy a good time in fandom. I am not obligated to hold my favorite character under some trial because YOU don’t like them. I don’t have to hold them to YOUR impossible standards or likes. I am allowed to enjoy them exactly as I wish. If you wish to do that, go play in your own sandbox away from mine. That is, and has been, the point of fandom.

Has anyone on tumblr ever got upset at you for inbreeding birds?

if they have, they either haven't told me, or if someone tried and I blocked them and immediately forgot they existed, which is basically the same thing as not telling me. I have no desire to tolerate nonsense from strangers on the internet.

Because to be honest, morality just flat out isn't the same for inbreeding in animals as it is in humans. Inbreeding itself in animals isn't necessarily harmful- it becomes harmful if the animals being paired have deleterious genes that cause health issues, or if it goes on for too long. EVENTUALLY inbreeding with zero fresh blood may lead to genetic deterioration/stagnation (which is a MUCH bigger danger for wild animals than captive ones, as they will lack the diversity needed to overcome environmental changes), but how much inbreeding that takes ie how many generations, varies between animal species. For example in mice, it takes upwards of 100 generations to even start to see that kind of genetic deterioration (and we know this, because scientific research is done with mice and breeding facilities HAVE lines that extend back that far for some strains). My longest, linebred mouse line was 10 generations before an outcross, and the outcross was not because anything bad was happening, but rather because they'd been bred for use in the siamese line and it was time. Inbreeding in mice (line breeding in mice) is actually the STANDARD for cleaning a line of any bad mutations/health concerns, and it's considered a big risk to outcross once you've established a healthy line. A necessary one eventually, but a risk none the less.

For peafowl, it would probably take less than 100, but once or twice? not even remotely a problem, and is the only way to first-step produce a homozygous animal for a new mutation. If this were a cross of birds that had been line bred 20 times already, maybe it would be a problem but Earl literally is F1 from a father that shares no genes with ANY bird in the USA, and a hen completely unrelated to any of my own birds, and I am using hens unrelated to him or his parents, and unrelated to each other, in order to give the group the widest possible genome to start with.

Anyone of the opinion that this is a cause for upset doesn't know enough about genetics for me to take their opinion seriously, to for me to tolerate them showing me their whole ass in public.

Some people avoid it, some people don't. People that know more about genetics tend to be more okay with it, as they understand that it's not the inbreeding itself that usually causes problems, but pairing bad genes into homozygous form, and that actually pairing related animals can help get rid of those genes through repeated selection against them and hard culling animals that are known to have it. It doesn't surprise me that larger animals like horses have more stigma against inbreeding. Only being able to produce 1 offspring per female per year is a LOT heftier price to pay if it goes wrong than a smaller animal like rabbits or mice that produces far more per year and is more acceptable to hard cull (since mice and rabbits can both be used for feeders, and rabbits for human food).

No cis actor should ever play queer/trans characters, I do not understand how you can continue to champion ONeill for this.

If he was the amazing aware ally the canyon is making him out to be, then he would have reflected before taking this role and instead of profiting of the trans community done the actually supportive thing and let a trans actor have the role. (I’m not saying that he necessarily had bad intentions but to be a good ally wanting to do good is not enough, you have to actually put the work in and educate yourself!)

Go support trans actors of color and trans women instead of simping for some straight-passing cis guy!

0/10 rage bait.

Must try harder.

What is this word vomit? Why are we pretending that being 'queer' means NOT being cis???? The majority of queer (gay, lesbian, bi, pan, ace/aro etc) people ARE cis????

We don't even KNOW Con's identity because he's private and other than coming out as being part of the queer community, we have no idea what that looks like or means for him.

What character is even being discussed here? (Possibly in reference to Val, a character with no concrete gender identity, who often went by male pronouns and was never confirmed to be trans or anything other than VAL).

Trans actors of colour?? Wasn't aware Con had ever taken a role as a POC?? What are you even blathering about?

'Straight passing' - absolutely laughable. Say you think all queer men should be femme stereotypes without saying it.

Also, lolling at the 'canyon' mention - because it shows whoever wrote this 1. is in the ofmd fandom and 2. likely stans Ed and Stede - two GAY characters played by STRAIGHT, CIS, MEN. (Rhys has also done roles in drag and made debatably transphobic jokes in his stand-up ("I like transformers...chicks with dicks") but obviously, they can do no wrong. Because they're the straightwashed, comfortingly non-sexual gays.

Critical thinking skills of a lemon.

[c0ffinrehearsal]

this should go without saying, but:

do not ever, for any reason, re-upload a fic that has been taken down and especially do not say in the author’s note that you plan to ORPHAN another person’s work.

if an author removes a work it is because they do not want it to be accessible online and they do not have to give you a reason for doing so.

please, for the love of gd - i am begging y’all to learn some basic decency and to treat these author’s with respect.

die fag

lmfaooooo. be patient big dog, after today I just might!!!!!!!! rip lolololololol

[louferrignojrofficial]

I have no clue what Oliver thinks about anything, but I find it so disrespectful of him to call this episode great ahead of it airing. Plenty of us were represented in the bucktommy relationship, one way or another, and to just get slapped with an out of left field breakup and being told: Enjoy!.

Get a grip Oliver and learn not to spread biphobic prejudices while you're at it!

welp he’s posted this so. fun he can speak out now but not after everything that’s happened with all the hate bucktommy and lou got for months.

anyways!

[valar-did-me-wrong]

DON'T SEND PEOPLE ANON HATE ffs

Seriously stop! Harrasment over fictional stories is insane behaviour!

It was pathetic & insane when it was happening with me, it was pathetic & insane when it was happening with other multi/shippers or meta blogs & it's still pathetic & insane when it's happening with Haladriels.. just because you don't like a fictional ship doesn't mean people who genuinely enjoy it deserve to listen to your anonymous bull for it!

Some people, on all sides of this fandom need to (get new hobbies other than anon play) understand that sending petty anons isn't some kind of own or something.. it's embarrassing

And it doesn't help in anything! Hate anon isn't going to change anyone's opinions if that's what you aim for, all it does is just keep on extending this unnecessary bitterness between factions that is feeding the anger that's causing you & others on all sides to send the anons in the first place.. it's a cycle!

Adar fucking died for this and you guys still don't understand that continuing the cycle of hate (anons) ensures noone is ever happy on any side.. 🤦🏽‍♀️

And not for a second am I going to entertain "show haters are behind this" conspiracies.. toxic horticulture people exist everywhere in all circles of opinions & I'm 100% sure they must be among us show fans on all sides too.. and these people rightfully deserve our condemnation as much as actual show haters imo

You've got problems with stuff?? Say it with your whole chest & blogname out so people can respond to you with actual sensible responses like a proper human or else get the fuck off with your petty bullying!

I'll again suggest everyone, just switch off your anons.. bore these toxic people from all sides to death so we can have anons back up and running healthily by the time S3 rolls in

[marginofthought]

You can't be angry at people because of NON CANON SHIP. Be serious. You are no different then hellers at this point

Well, Anon, couple of things:

1: I'm not angry

2: It's all fictional and not that serious and I know that Wincest and any variation or dynamic of it isn't real

3: I liberally block people and tags and try not to directly interact with people or invade tags that I don't agree with. I would hope that other people show the same respect

4. If you see a post of mine that should be tagged differently so you won't see it (because you have the tag blocked), please let me know!

5. This is all just a fun little side hobby for me to escape the monotony of real life, so please just block me before ruining my fun

[aerospectrum]

fuck off and die

Honestly, that’s a mood, big ups to you for saying the quiet part out loud lmaooooo

[crazy-ache]

Ngl as a writer myself I had planned to write for elaik week too but I have been informed of their policing and bs and honestly no thank you. You can submit it for elain week but I think it would be nice to let them starve

I’m on the fence, anon.

It comes down to feeling very frustrated by individuals who do not fundamentally understand fandom running community-wide events. I have been around the block when it comes to fandom, ship wars, and fanfiction. I’ve never seen this kind of behavior before honestly. And the overwhelming response of “Well if you don’t like it then go make your own Elain Week” is such classic mean girl behavior. It’s middle school where the clique that loves to fucking gaslight you with exclusion tactics and fake ass excuses doesn’t understand why you’re mad all of a sudden.

You are the established and organized community event that has claimed to be neutral, welcome, and inclusive. It is YOUR responsibility to uphold that, not ours to leave and create our own when you are clearly not doing that.

Fandom comes from the word fanatic so when are we going to pretend this is a moral, normal place?

Our fandom roots and origins come from obsessive nerds in sci-fi AND queer works of fiction - it was a place for people who were not privileged in society to have a place and sense of community in a safe manner

AO3 was created to have a safe place for fan works (ANYTHING -- het, slash, RPF, chan, kink, highly adult) because there was a time when these works were deleted and purged from the internet on Fanfiction/LiveJournal

This isn’t about Tamlin at the end of the day. It bothers me when a Character Event week pretends to play Moral Judge and dictate what is wrong and right when it comes to shipping/fan creations. Fandom has always been and SHOULD be a place where we allow people to create freely in a place of community.

And I don’t blame people for the drama and uproar for it. Because pushing back on authority and rigidity is also a basic tenet of fandom.

All of that to say, I am still on the fence because I want to show up for Elain, but I also realize this may all be falling on deaf ears unfortunately.

I feel like the Bobs would be sooo much more unbearable right now if we didn't have footage of Tommy at redacted episode 16 event.

Tommy being on the run for the military? "He's finally going to prison where his predatory ass belongs." "He's gonna be shot like a dog in the street. <3" "Buck is finally going to see who he can really trust, #buddiecanon"

I just know they'd be all over this if we didn't already know Tommy makes it out okay.

what if i told you they knew about the funeral happening for a while and convinced themselves tommy was dying.
