#problematic ships ARE NOT COOL

[sastielsmanuscript-draft]

ATTENTION!

it has come to my attention that people are associating sastiel w/ w*ncest...NOT ON MY WATCH.

Now i said id be polite but yall are getting WAY too comfortable mashing up sastiel with w*ncest/w*irdcest. And the occasional "bringing sastiel down, uplifting destiel."

I need you to STOP and leave sastiel out of it. im tired of seeing them ugly fucking takes OR really interesting ones and then have w*ncest tagged RIGHT under it. STOP IT! do not act like we are outcasted losers like the rest of you (i cant believe im saying this) fake fujoshi, white woman, *ncest loving, brother sh*pping obsessed bitches on the sastiel tag. LEAVE. im tryna see some cool sastiel shit.

i saw someone say that they “heard it’s not cool to ship ____ anymore”.

honey. im gonna hold your hand. i need us to remember where we are.

these tags were on a post ranting about how sastiel is associated with wincest which like. i can understand how some sastiel shippers want to be separate i feel like calling wincesties "degenerates" is maybe. not a good idea

On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.

On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.

im becoming a “spuffy is a amazing and important ship for both spike and buffy and it DEFINITELY should have happened in canon but……….. bangel should be endgame eventually” Truther and I hate that for me

Still cant believe theres a subsection of twitter selfshippers of people who are vehemently against proship... while being selfshippers.... do they know...

Ethically I know it’s wrong and therefore I won’t do it

But sometimes I come across posts about ships and I just want to go “You’re not original, you’re not special, you’re obnoxious and frankly childish. Keep your shit out of the tags if you’re going to just be hateful. Until you have the balls to say that George R.R. Martin is a freak who deserves to die for problematic content like you say about randos on the internet, you need to sit down and shut up so the rest of us can exist without your bull in the tags of the things we like.”

Like yes I block them, and the ppl who encourage them in the tags, but it never kills the urge to snap at them.

Like on one hand, curate my own experience by blocking, on the other hand if no one counters and tells them that they’re wrong in so many ways and have turned disgust into morality that they would never hold against mainstream art and they’re regurgitating purity culture bullshit they may never actually realize why so many older members of fandom hate them and gets so aggressive and will continue to think that they’re in the right to be hateful and attack real people

fascinated by this one artist i follow on insta who is apparently going to be a medical doctor who also follows all of those genuinely deranged raw vegan and carnivore diet accounts. girl please drop out

If there's one thing I'll never understand in any fandom, it's a ship war / weird, aggressive ragging on other ships

you can absolutely make a character who was formerly a racist fuck-wit sympathetic and compelling, but ONLY if you (the narrative) and they (the character) own the wrong and the growth.

i mean, look, you tell that kind of story in the hopes that life will imitate art, right? there's gotta be a path out of the darkness. you can illuminate that path, but not if you lie about where the journey started. it's only compelling if you own it. don't shy away from the hurt and the sharp edges—cut yourself on them. bleed.

Sol//Ky is one of those ships where I get the appeal of it and why it's an important fandom ship, but I still personally find it mid.

Just got reminded of how at some point there was whole blogs specifically dedicated to talking about cartoon discourse

[docmerlin]

i know ppl seem to think healthy relationships & clear communication in fiction are "boring" or whatever but considering how much i've been fucked over by people refusing to communicate with me or listen to anything i say i think i deserve to enjoy my little fantasy world where human beings actually have conversations with each other
