Due to boredom, I went scrolling in the latest posts in the #anon hate tag. Know what I found? Homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, racism, sexism, religious discrimination, just about every single -ism, which is just beyond despicable and reminds me exactly why I have zero faith in the human race...

You know what else was there? Anon hate sent back and forth in the House of the Dragon fandom. Literally NO other fandom since at least May. I find this pretty concerning.

What is it about this place that provokes all the absolute nut cases to sling faeces at each other from behind the facade of obscurity? Can we all try to agree to the following, at least: that if we are going to act like absolute morons, then at least we can put our names on it to save everyone the embarrassment of being associated with this space. It's clear that saying "no hate" is beyond some of you, and so it would probably be best to just lower the bar to the floor and say "hate but make it on main" instead.

Damn.

#signed - someone who has historically been gross in fandom but really wants to do better and also SEE better here #house of the dragon fandom #hotd fandom #no anon hate #pleez #for my sanity #and i have a feeling someone is going to send ME hate for moralising over this #and i just wanted to say that this isn't me moralising #i have no place doing that #i'm merely pointing out that it is disturbing for a fandom to trend alongside really violent examples of dehumanisation in a hate tag #and that maybe it is not best practice to expect the hate to STOP but instead get the behaviour to occur on main #so at least people can just block after #maybe we decide as a fandom to just remove anon totally #everyone should turn off anon #everyone should make an acc for asking 'anonymous' questions if they don't want to be perceived #etc
