#anti call out culture

[multifandomhellhole]

I rarely say my takes unprompted but I genuinely can't stand modern fandom and need to scream into the void over it to thug it out.

it genuinely feels like fandom is in its gen alpha age of regression. I've noticed this heavily with other fandoms, for me I've seen it most in resident evil but now I'm seeing it in arcane too of ship wars being taken WAAAAY to seriously and just everything in general being surrounded by weird purity culture. Not to mention someone always trying to find some deep controversial reason into why you don't like a popular character or treating it like it's a direct attack. That weird portion can be left in 2020 with kinnies and IRL character shit.

What really pisses me off is that people especially on twitter, scream for fandom culture to be back, but the slightest mary sue, terrible animatic, out of character x reader, large age gap, weird fanfic, horrible but fun take, insensitive joke about a well loved character, and/or rare pair art gets crucified there. And y'all wonder why fandom is dead. Genuinely who wants to provide any material for an ungrateful bible thumping community and a hostile one at that? Or one that's so obsessed with canon.

Fandom etiquette is absolutely dead on any other website minus this one and even then I'm seeing some popular tweets that erase the fun of it here on Tumblr for some reason. Since I'm focused on arcane right now I'll be using that as an example. So what if people want to think jinx and Jayce would be friends? That doesn't mean they didn't understand the show or are less superior watchers to you. That means they don't have a stick up their ass. Who cares If someone makes a Viktor coughing joke? He does in fact cough a lot and it's placement can be funny. You are not morally ascended cause you didn't laugh at pixels fictional lung cancer. In fact you are morally shity for telling someone to kill themselves for joking about it.

Who cares if someone ships cait and Maddie over vi or vi with maddie. Or cait with ambessa or Viktor with sky or Viktor with silco. Literally the world kept spinning. Genuinely who gives a fuck it's an animated show about league not a real time war documentary 💀 Creepypasta literally turned a bunch of murders into a found family let's not forget how being delusional makes fandom more fun.

Like I said, Unfortunately since Im in an arcane place of focus this post will be using arcane examples but this does apply to every fandom.

You can’t reason with crazy

I don’t go here, never gone here. But anyone who knows anything about real person shipping has heard of larrys. People who ship ex One Direction members Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles.

One Direction went on permanent hiatus in 2016 and towards the end of their active period the two who once had a close friendship drifted apart, Louis mentioning that shipping played in the awkwardness that developed between them.

Even after publicly shutting larrys down

Larrys still exist… They. Still. Exist.

After Louis publicly shut down rumours & conspiracies several times online, in print, on tv interviews etc.

After ARGUING with Louis on twitter, Louis having a child and several girlfriends, Harry having several girlfriends and them openly

Meanwhile Louis & Harry:

Say something, don’t say something. Spend time together publicly or don’t speak to each other for years. Have a family, public relationships, live in different continents.

Louis & Harry live their lives with how they want with who they want not who Larrys want

Ignore or acknowledge them.

Larrys still exist.

I strongly encourage you to unfollow and even block people who are constantly posting callouts and bewares for every little thing. YES there are shitty people out there. I'm not denying that. But it is also not safe to be around someone who is constantly digging through other people's social medias to find "bad things", especially when their idea of "bad things" is rooted in fear and misunderstanding, rather than an actual experience with said person.

For example I followed this person who would put people's FULL ACCOUNTS on blast and even dox them and say "BLOCK AND REPORT THIS PERSON because they're a CREEP and most likely a PEDOPHILE, R4PIST, ZOOPHILE, and POSSIBLE ABUSER!!!". Now naturally you want to believe someone when they say they are the victim of something. But that isn't what's happening here. This is a case of "Your kinkyness grossed me out and your sexuality is too vulgar for my tastes, so I will be attempting to put your life and privacy at risk". For this specific example, no evidence was provided to summarize why all of these extreme words were used, so out of curiosity I went to the account and... the person was just a trans woman posting furry porn and other nsft ramblings. That is not an offense. That is not abuse or pedophilia or zoophilia. Remind me again how it's "social justice" to keep calling openly sexual trans women predatory?

And I say block these kinds of people (the ones who feel the need to play "neighborhood watch" online) because chances are, eventually they will investigate YOUR business, and you might be found "guilty" of their personal morality crime.

This is a prime example of how social media and internet clout-seeking has absolutely DESTROYED some people's sense of empathy. A famous TikToker had her newborn baby die of SIDS, and for some fucking reason people decided it would be a great time to cancel her for problematic stuff she'd said in the past. Someone crashed the baby's funeral to vlog it and shit on the mother.

I will say that I think some of the mother's past behavior warrants an apology, but I can't get over how ghoulish it is to drag someone whose baby just died. And how much of an actual fucking freak you'd have to be to vlog and try to get clout off of a baby's funeral. I'm the furthest thing from a luddite, but Jesus, social media has really set us back as a species.

Neurodivergent shifting culture is spending days researching for every bit of information possible to a dr, in all the wikis, in every bit of media ever released about said dr, and then having to make a coherent timeline with the information that contradicts each other, to finally feel ready to shift.

That’s me. I just did that.

Neurodivergent Shifting Culture is…

Well, I'm just saying you can try, but I doubt people will actually listen. People are gonna support who they support regardless. Why would you even be following people who stan people you don't like anyway? You could just unfollow and block those people, you know.

I'm not following any celebrity stan accounts or any people whose blogs are part of celebrity stan culture. My posts are not related to who my mutuals follow.

And I don't particularly care if "people are gonna support who they support regardless". Doesn't make it cool or necessarily right. Criticizing the cult of celebrity is always valid.

i'm not one of those 'media literacy is dead and our youth is wrong' people but the tags on that atla poll are. making me want to say it.

[shadelorde]

Kataang shippers point out the actual misogyny and colonialism in popular Zutara shipping without saying they’re “delusional” for their ship not being canon challenge (failed)

On Disabled Antis

It confuses me so fucking much how so many disabled antis there are.

It's like. You support people with NPD? Oh, you're chill with personality disorders? People with violent intrusive thoughts? You're supportive of trauma survivors? Oh cool, me too!

Oh you... you're an anti and think they should keep those things lock up inside they're head instead of processing that shit? Great. Greatgreatgreatgreat.

Fuck you dude

[tianshiisdead]

tbh, defending against an abuser by making public the slurs they called you and how they told you to your face they hoped your people would be genocided, and then getting your words dismissed as 'fandom drama and cancel culture' and being told you speaking up is 'what makes fandom toxic'... this is why poc online either don't say anything or are driven out of fandom spaces lol

[ayphyx]

Guys imma be real with you

This whole anti-criticism “don’t like don’t read”* culture is kinda making it unsafe for poc to call out racism in fandom spaces without being called “pro-censorship”, “antis”, “or puritans/puriteens”

*i don’t necessarily disagree with this take btw, i’ve just seen this phrase be used to deflect any form of criticism and its getting pretty annoying

I am neither pro- nor anti-ship; I am neutralship.

So, basically, this antishipper created a meme on TikTok stating that they were planning to harass and make death threats to proshippers. I replied that harassment and death threats are unlawful, and they continued to be total jerk, so I told them to act this way towards me, and then they asked for my discord, and they threatened to say horrible things to me. I was going to explain why it's incorrect, but I decided to give the bee movie script instead because they were going to utter stupid nonsense like that. I assumed they were kid but they weren't since they stated I was four years younger than them.

Later on, they convinced a friend to add me to a group so they could both harass me. I asked why they had their buddy do that, and they urged me to kill myself. They also claimed they were going to show me how to tie a knot so I could kill myself.

I asked why they were saying horrible things to me and bothering me, and they told me I supported pedos, which I don't.

I'm at school and can't submit any more images because Discord doesn't work here; nevertheless, I will release the remaining screenshots.

Keep in mind, I'm not proship or antiship I'm peacefic and neutralship now

Also, check the reblogs if you want more proof.

I’m blue

I was 16 when they said this shit to me I'm now 18

The user who’s harassing me is red

Tw death threats, tw racism, tw suibaiting, tw ableism, tw incest mention,

no but Hindutva is so fucking stupid, because it’s a bunch of old men going around imposing a religion whose main thing is that it’s not a religion; it’s a way of life. a way of life where the gods don’t give a shit if you aren’t a believer and non-believers aren’t going to burn for their sins. a religion that preaches tolerance, the importance of doing good deeds even through you are trapped in a cycle of life, death and suffering. seriously, to break from the cycle, you just have to lead a good life doing good deeds and to help others. nowhere in hindu scriptures does it say that you will not attain moksha if you aren't a hindu; just do the good deeds, and you will become one with God. hinduism is like ‘let live and do good’ it says nowhere that you are a bad person if you aren’t a Hindu in doctrine; that’s what universal religions do. I’m not even sure BJP understand what Hinduism is. fucking idiots.

adhd shifting culture is trying to do a guided meditation but then daydream about your desired reality and not paying attention to the guided meditation and then coming up with new scenarios to write down and trying to figure out where it all fits in the timeline all while the meditation is still playing in the background-

you start it over to focus to listen but the cycle continues

(In relation to your emotional self-harm post) It ALSO really bugs me when people will post rancid anti threats/takes/etc under the "proship safe" and "proship positivity" tags. Like. "Proship Safe" is supposed to be SAFE for us to browse WITHOUT having to see that. And it sure as hell isn't positivity. I feel like that goes beyond emotional self-harm and goes into causing harm to others on purpose

thats so right actually; just generally after thinking about it for a while after making my post about this kind of thing i think it's actually really fucked up to post antis' bullshit completely untagged in like... any of the main proship tags. i understand that most people who do that generally mean well but there's something to be said about how posting horrific death threats in a space meant for positivity makes you look

[jewishbarbies]

She has also since August be seen wearing in pretty much all of her outings some kind of protection jewelry things. This big ass crystal around her neck, evil eye necklace and rings...it's all to keep negative energies away and if you think she looks exhausted now...last month she was looking worse. Even her fandom noticed, but now they say she has never been happier etc etc

what do you know, cultural appropriation does nothing good for you.
