very few things make me as fucking livid as people publicly mocking fan creations. how dare you. how dare you!!! someone loves something enough that they want to create for it and they’ve mustered up the courage to share it.

you don’t have to like everything. you don’t have to find everything to your taste. but equally you are not entitled to having everything being tailored to you. something is not less valid or worthy of existing within the community for your fandom because you don’t think it’s good or whatever. you don’t have to think someone’s characterisation is good, or you might think their shading needs work or their grammar isn’t all that – whatever. sure. you are allowed to have that opinion, but you are a fucking asshole if you express that in public. it costs zero dollars to shut up and make people feel that they are allowed to contribute to their fandom, wherever their experience or skill level is.

people are part of fandom communities because they love it!! fuck!! how dare you make someone feel unwelcome. how dare you make someone feel like the thing they are excited about and love to make isn’t good enough to be part of this community. oh my god

#fandom #the point is a fucking COMMUNITY how dare you make someone feel there is a barrier to entry #let alone one arbitrated by some other random person in fandom. oh my fucking god #there are like three things that make me boil with rage lmfao in fandom #one is this. one is when people are like ‘the x tag is kinda lacking’ or whatever when they don’t make anything themselves #how dare they diminish and lessen the efforts of people who Actually make shit just bc of their consumerist mindset #the third probably merits its own post one day but i can’t get that worked up rn i’m at lunch w my family on holiday
