#n they justify by saying (my fave) says “i dont understand (love/being interested in [someone]” so what he has aromanticism.

Sorry to drop a whole lot of text out of nowhere but my rage needs an outlet and you are the great ringleader of based takes on tumblr.

But I hate how hypocritical mcyt twitter is in the way they will justify attacking fans and fanartists for supporting a specific content creator but absolutely refuse to even think about attacking their favorite ccs for supporting and being friends with that same cc. If they feel so strongly that this cc they despise is so terrible that it justifies attacking the fans, why does it not go through their head that someone who is legit friends with them could be terrible by association?

And any time this is even suggested to some twitter users, the immediate response is "I can't control who my fave is friends with" or "I don't have to like them bc they are friends with my fave" which are two points that completely miss the reasoning for pointing this out. If they can't control who their fave is friends with, why do they think they can control the fans that support the cc? And in no way does suggesting this mean they have to like said cc, at this point it is not even about that cc. They are free to dislike any cc for any reason but there is a huge difference between disliking a cc + not engaging with their content And going out of their way to find any excuse to attack the cc + their fans.

This is about realizing the dissonance in what they are currently doing, which is the whole reason someone would point this out. If they did recognize this, they'd then have to answer two very loaded questions for themselves: "Why am I willing to excuse my favorite content creator being friends with someone I believe is so terrible that I will attack fans relentlessly for supporting?" and "If I truly believe my favorite content creator is not a terrible person themselves, is this other content creator not as bad as I currently believe they are and if so, should I stop sending threats to their fans who have already come to this conclusion?"

Anyway this long rant is mostly fueled by my frustration with everything happening still with Technoblade and Technotwt + Fanartists who draw Techno obviously, but it really does apply to a lot of creators (and their respective fanbases) in mcyt who continue to get hit with so much shit on that platform by the fanbases of their own damn friends despite the cc having grown from what they were initially called out on and their fans and friends(!!!) being aware of exactly that.

Also idk if they realize this but nearly every fandom space outside of mcyttwt will cancel by association, so the more that Dream SMP fans there argue that half the members of the server are terrible people and attack any mention of them, the worse every other member of the server looks to outsiders.

genuinely youre so fucking right.

ppl tend to have this. extremely hypocritical idea that like. fans of 'bad' ccs? horrible people. but the ccs they Love who are friends w said 'bad' cc? well They Cant Tell Their Faves What To Do OBVIOUSLY

its this. like. clearly a mixture of jus Not respecting or understanding other people n their interests, And this kind of pedestal they put certain ccs on. like. i cannot COMPREHEND how they just Dont Understand that. if ppl are Horrible for enjoying techno's content, then the ccs he's friends with who support n love him Must be Extremely Horrible by that logic.

its like. illogical and jus spineless TBH. they say that such ccs need to be 'cancelled' or whatever, but they make exceptions or will Have to watch streams n videos. cant even hold to their own

its jus.... weird. its so weird n fucked up n like you said i dont doubt that 90% of ppl who have no clue of these mcyters or the dsmp will see the kinda drama that goes on and assume that theyre all just Horrible people
