#sydcarmy antis do not get the benefit of the doubt from me. I'm not sorry.

You know, it's not lost on me that Sydcarmys are pretty much the only people you'll see in this fandom who call out the misogynoir faced by Sydney/Ayo— and a lot of the anti-sydcarmy peeps on here have most of us blocked. Funny to ya girl! Not that I really care, but these are the same ppl who insist they do care about Syd/Ayo. And I also see some Sydcarmys who make an effort to try to be civil and nice and understanding and it's like..these people have you blocked, they are not reading your posts I'm sorry 😭😭😭

That's what I'm saying! Sydcarmys are the only subsection of the fans (out of those that are engaging in any lengthy discourse about the show online anyway) who call out the absolutely bonkers misogynoir being spewed by other fans that clamour against Syd & Ayo. It's so transparent. I can get not shipping Syd and Carmy, but if someone feels the need to dedicate themselves to being an anti by consistently stridently harassing Sydcarmy shippers or outright denigrating Syd and Ayo over it (and the flak in this regard is never reserved for JAW/Carmy) then methinks it boils down to the race and gender of these characters as to why some persons find the ship and Syd/Ayo so objectionable and inflammatory. Shit's crazy.

I mean it's okay to not like a particular ship or character (for unbigoted reasons anyway) - I myself loathe the character Kylo Ren and the ship Reylo from Star Wars for example, but I don't go out of my way to shit on Reylos and spam their tags, or insult Adam Driver, or engage with fanworks and content for that character etc. because I have better things to do with my time and it's fiction at the end of the day. I think I even have mutuals/ follow persons that ship that ship and it's no skin off my back. Hell, I don't like Claire as a character or Claire x Carmy as a ship either, but if I say something facetious or even mildly unflattering about Claire and Claire x Carmy, I tag it as #anti claire bear out of courtesy to her fans as was requested many moons ago. And you certainly don't see Sydcarmys approaching Molly Gordon to insult her character to her face IRL or attacking her personally in our fandom spaces either, so if we're all being honest with ourselves, what is it about Syd/Ayo (and Sydcarmys by extension) that makes certain fans feel that they're fair game to single out and attack harshly, hmmn?? 🤔
