Anon hears a lot about how rampant bigotry is in fandom, but anon is a queer woman of color and has only personally experienced it once, so she's curious what other people's experience has been.

Now, you say this, but last time I posted an incorrect photo it took weeks for a single person to point it out. I’m not so sure y’all would notice… That being said, be ever weary loyal followers.

other people have already really eloquently explained why censorship in fandom spaces is so problematic but one of the crucial reasons why elaingate was such an issue, which i personally haven’t seen people touch on is a misunderstanding of fan events which disregards their role as archival spaces.

when you create a character/ship week or other fan creation driven event you are volunteering to act in an archival position. event organization does not end with choosing dates and spreading the word. crucially, fandom event organizers are volunteering to create a space that records the celebration of the chosen topic within their community, regardless of any qualities of the content produced by other fans in the community that the organizers may not personally like. This is because, when you volunteer to host an event and create an archival space to record the event, you are no longer acting in a personal capacity but an organizational and archival capacity.

i saw another person comment on the lack of proper tagging system and master lists in previous elain weeks which is how i became aware of this frankly concerning underlying issue with the event. how can members of the fandom interacting with content for a fan week properly navigate fan week spaces both presently, and in the future if proper tagging and organizational techniques are not observed? how can vulnerable fans protect themselves from content they may be to averse to if it is not properly tagged by event organizers/moderators? creating ‘safe’ fandom spaces has never been about policing content, and thus how other fans interact with the topic, but rather making sure that content is properly tagged-i.e. organized-by moderators so all fans have the power to choose what content they interact with.

when we, as members of fandoms, lose sight of the historical and long held tradition of fandoms as not just communities but archival spaces we fundamentally misunderstand the role of fan events, in this case leading to elaingate.

@heropartnerweek Day 1 - First Meeting

woo i finally participated in a PMD event!! I've been wanting to take part in one of these for ages but time always got away from me :’)

i had to go with this scene and my very first team from when i played EOS when i was 9. i got assigned squirtle by the personality quiz and always picked eevee as my partner bc i love that lil guy. i have really fond memories of playing this game as a kid and full-on sobbing over my DS at the ending. it's one of those things that just has its hooks in my heart and every few years i remember it exists and get dragged back in. it's about time i did some art for it <3

Original posts here means fanart, analysis, headcanons, and basically anything else that directly contributes to the Tumblr fandom ecosystem.

Whether you have different sideblogs for different fandoms is not relevant to this poll.

If you're involved in multiple fandoms on Tumblr in different ways, answer according to the fandom you consider yourself most involved with. (Ex. if you are involved with 2 fandoms and you make fanart on a dedicated fandom sideblog for the one you are more involved with, answer "I am involved in multiple fandoms on Tumblr: I make original posts about them on a dedicated fandom sideblog."
