#rvery time i receieve anon hate i just kinda laugh to myself at this point

Ur 21 I think you can handle someone hating a fictional cat relationship lmao

U have successfully missed the point! It's not avout being able to handle or not handle it. Ofc I can handle it. (Thoufh I would like to note rhat not being able to handle it is just fine too. Especially autistic people, and I am autistic though luckily don't get upset by this, rlly struggle with seeing hate on their favourite thing. Ans that can be upsetting, and you can't control ur emotions - and obviously u shouldn't lash out at people over it, but you should curate ur own internet experience! However the lack of tags indicating negative posts makes that impossible.)

But it's about wanting to see content and not being able to see it because of hate in the tag. Imagine this happening in a non fandom related tag! U look for cute cat pictures but all u see is "cats suck" and "dogs r better anywyas" and "lost as to why cats are evil". But no cute cat pictures in sight. Do u understand now? It's less about getting upset for many, as getting annoyed by not finding what they were looking for. Fandom is a great way to discuss writing, plot devices, stereotypes and everything and those discussions are good and necessary, however some people are not looking for those and that's also super valid. It's been common fandom etiquette to tag your hate for ages now on multiple websites, including tumblr! It's not much different from trigger warnings - It's all about being able to filter stuff out thst u don't want to see in a place that's meant to be ur safe space. Especially on a website with so many neurodivergent people on it who have it hard enoufh in real life already. And waca fandom is full of neurodovergent people haha.

I hope I made myself understood! I don't usually like replying to anonymous people who try to insult me on the internet, but I want you to see my point. Just know that if you tried to hurt me wirh this u have successfully failed <3 I've been on this platform for nearly a decade n I've seen it all so trust me, anon hate does not get to me anymore lol. Do hope that u see my point though cuz I'm not the only one annoyed by this ^^ fandom is meant to be a safe space that u can curate, and have fun with, and other content warnings r added all the time, so why not negativity too! Hard for me to see arguments against adding a quick tag tbh haha. Thpugh if u got sth convincing shoot it at me I'm always interested in seeing different viewpoints
