#i'm merely pointing out that it is disturbing for a fandom to trend alongside really violent examples of dehumanisation in a hate tag

[em-writes-stuff-sometimes]

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.
