turning over the confessions blog anon and it’s like. i understand where they’re coming from in terms of being frustrated with some popular characterizations and conversations that maybe are a little stagnate when you’ve been having those same conversations for a few months. seeing new people come in and discover all those same things that got big in january or whatever. but it’s also somewhat on the individual to advance those conversations! to curate their own space, even if that means leaving. and it’s fine to leave! it’s fine to block, it’s fine to carve out a two person discord and go nuts with someone you trust. and it’s fine to have those thoughts and criticisms of the content you consume, and even to push back against said content where appropriate. where i think it strays for me is taking those thoughts really public and essentially publishing an EVERYBODY is doing it wrong in ways i specifically don’t like kinda thing. not getting into specifics so feeling aren’t hurt, but then it’s too broad and everyone is hurt anyways…. like in many ways i think it’s too small of a fandom to alienate almost every creator like that bc everyone will see it personally lol. “i don’t like the content in this fandom” girl there’s like 20 of us! and that’s just kind of mean ! some things can be inside thoughts ! or discord thoughts etc… idk it’s a lil misguided to me. fandom content created on here is usually created because it’s fun for the creator and they want to share it with a community, and i think the key to shifting a narrative in fandom is to join said community and create for yourself, and sometimes advancing those communities takes criticism and conversation, but it’s usually specific and additive, not vague and somewhat entitled. just my two cents
