#simultaneously why I don't follow any blog with 'anti' or 'i hate' in it's name

[weaselbeaselpants]

PSA but if you see someone say "I don't approve pedo/incest/ect go to jail" who still calls themselves 'proship' -bcuz Idk they like Lore Olympus or Twilight or some villain/hero shit- they are not a pedophile or an endorser of creepy shit just because you want them to be. You are not actually being critical, you are being petty and reactive and not listening to reason

Use your actual fucking reasoning skills, assess what it is they advocate for in fandom and if they clearly are into some Shane Dawson-type bullshit, THEN you can call them out for what they are. Which is a creep. They are a creep. But no a person who just really like Reylo has bad tastes is not an inherent racistpsycho incest lover just because you have decided that's what all the ppl who like that ship are.

This is why I hate the goddamn anti v proship debate; both sides' of this mandated battle line are ignoring the real problem at hand and prioritize their own feelings and trauma over what they're trying to fight for. Understandable? Sure, but that doesn't mean you aren't just running your wheels with other online twits at best:

Antiantis/Pro-shippers: "You're using progressive langauge to be aggressive and gatekeeping other people because of it; let people like what they want stopbeingsosenstive >:( " -> *proceeds to equate internet squabbles to purity culture of the 80s/spends all time shitting on other people's traumas/becomes fandom mom*

Antishippers: "We need to protect vulnerable people and minors and not let vile shit be romanticized! >:( " -> *proceeds to label anyone who don't subscribe to their exact internet standards pedophiles/misuses critical thinking skills to mean 'what I don't like'/becomes fandom mom*

meanwhile, are KiwiFarms or Shadbase or any of those nasty people who post literal csa ab*se and zoo being dealt with? No.

Minors are no safer and boundaries with or about fiction aren't being actually drawn or even discussed. It's just people putting up their own emotional/mental barricades WHILE they throw a nasty blanket on the other side. None of you are gonna believe me anyway and I'm probably gonna get more shit for just tagging both ur guys' tags anyway but I'm telling you:

I've had "antis" who totally admit to loving problematic ships and a lot and really don't like the absolutist dogpiling on Princess Weekes for daring to be a zutarra shipper.

I've known "proshippers" who will block you onsight if they see a hint of incest or legit underage-character advocacy. I know so many proshippers who hate Lore Olympus and Helluva Boss' shipping

You are ALL acting upon your experiences with bad people (probably people going through their own trauma, depression, selfcare, but still) and reacting as tho it's worst case scenario ALL THE TIME. Not cool. I'm not ur fucking mom or telling u how to cope with your own fantrauma and selfcare. What I'm telling you is this is not as mature or brave or empowering as you guys all think it is- you just sound sad.

The truth is I honestly don't think that post is worth responding to lmaooooo, which is why I haven't responded. But some of you are concerned, checking on if I'm alright etc, so I guess I should say (1) Yeah, I am. (2) As I said last week, my vacation's over so I'm back to work which for me means frequent trips and less time for Tumblr, and is the bigger reason I'm only logging on today for the first time since last Thursday to see all the wonderful surprises in my notifications tab.

For my newer followers, I suppose I should say if you search my name on Tumblr you'll find I've been the subject of several call-out posts: I'm simultaneously someone who silently feuds with bloggers by shading and shaming them through Anons so I can grow my following on Tumblr, I'm a Jimin solo who pretends to be OT7, a Jimin-anti, a taekooker who is also a Jungkook anti maybe but apparently only just 'hates' Seven, etc etc etc. It's all quite fantastic. At the same time, my blog is public and I've never deleted a single post; in fact after closing my old blog due to a Tumblr investigation that resulted in a few users banned permanently from the platform, I've come back under the same name, reposted my asks and posts from the old blog deliberately unedited to the point several reposts have broken links that I only fix on request. Everyone is free to look at all this and whatever conclusion you/they reach is fine with me, because it makes no difference to me either way.

None of these opinions have any influence on what I think, what I write, and how I write it.

Loki is right about one thing though, if you're a frequent reader of their blog and thought all that came from the mind of someone all there, you really should block me. I took a cursory scroll and I agree anybody drinking that akgae koolaid on the regular then opening my blog page, will likely suffer from significant mental distress.

Call it an occupational hazard.

I really don't need anybody to defend me. Everything I write is public for a reason.
