"Traditionalists" crying about cancel culture as this new thing is a whole new level of irony

We all knew it was going to come out one way or another…

I hope all KidLit sees the light.

.

As a KidLit writer I left Twitter when the madness became very bad in 2015, and I was blasted for not liking the book "George," about a trans child. Everything I've published since then has been under various pseudonyms (different ones for the different genres I write in).

I'm lucky. Other authors and illustrators were blacklisted, or their publishers were harassed until the authors' books were canceled.

I hope after the Cass Review and all else that's happening now revealing the truth about the harm of medical and psychological transitioning children is finally being heard, KidLit will come to its senses. Though how long that'll take, I can't guess.

I also hope Rachel Rooney's book is reissued and becomes a stellar hit.

Remembering that time people tried to cancel me for having slavery in my Star Wars fic.

Hi lovies,

I know every four months when I come onto tumblr I always say I will use it more often and then I don't (let the flogging commence) but I had a small favour!!

So I'm a journalist and I'm doing my final project on fanfiction and fandom! Especially how people illegally binding fics is sort of ruining the whole vibe...:/

But I was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to speak to me about your experience in fandom and how you think it's changed, maybe because of it becoming more mainstream on tiktok etc.

I would also LOVE to speak to anyone who has removed their fics off AO3 for any reason.

Honestly, anyone who would love to get anything off their chest, I would be greatly appreciative <3

Alright, I also realised I prefer using Tumblr on my laptop so I have now bookmarked it and turned all my notifications on so hopefully I will be on here more!!!!! (fingers crossed)

Don’t let idiots on Twitter change the fact the QSMP is the first minecraft multilingual server and Quackity has picked the sweetest and most loving creators to be part of its roster!

What each of my ocs would get canceled for on twitter:

Rain: Called himself the F slur as a joke (he’s a gay man)

Charlie: Got into a fist fight with some random dude at a bar (Rain recorded and posted it), and then got uncanceled when it was revealed that the dude he beat up was a weirdo

Ren: Doesn't post publicly on the internet in fear of this exact thing happening

Micah: Got caught wearing a shirt for a problematic band because he doesn't look up the shit musician's have done before listening to them

Leo: Threatened to kill himself (as a joke) in response to someone being a dick in his comments/replies

Sasha: Doxxed someone who disagreed with her over something minor and then added ":3" at the end of the post

Ivy: God defended Sasha because she didn't know what doxxing was, and then doubled down when she found out (she stands by her girlfriend's rights and wrongs)

Dave: Told Leo to do a flip (as a joke), and then used the most heinous insults he could think of against anyone who came at him for it

Stella: Nearly shot someone she hated in the leg during archery practice, and then tweeted "Oopsie daisies :)"

Natalia: Hacked into a large creator's account for funzies and then started shitposting

Gwen: Accidently called a scenecore artist scene

Kyle: Serial rage-baiter

Briar: Is dating Dave

Keith: Likes to comment "fly high *insert dead relative's name*🕊" under posts made by people who piss him off

So what I'm gathering on this Twitter discourse is it's a bunch of shitty stans that don't practice what they preach. Refusing to understand other cultures is very sus. Especially if they're going after cc's that don't speak English as their first language and they're trying to "cancel" people and not understanding those cultures because they look at it through their very American/British rose tinted glasses.

The pushback to the term "cultural Christianity" from atheists is real odd to me because, as someone who has been an atheist since 13, only ever went to church a handful of times never with my own family (made a note never to sleep over at that friends house on a Saturday again bc I HATED church it smelled like shit, was boring, pews are uncomfortable as fuck, and the religious people I knew were all wildly misogynistic and I've never been here for being told I was less of a person for being Born Like This), and generally had no actual connection to Christianity in a meaningful way but still only knows Christian mythology, has been steeped in Christian values I had to untangle, and my religious understandings are still deeply Christian.

Like Ive never paid attention to the bible, church, Jesus, Christian teachings, or whatever but if you asked me about any religion the one I'll reliably know the most about is Christianity. I don't know why atheists are offended by being called culturally Christian because they have bad blood with the religion because like sorry bruh that doesn't mean you're less indoctrinated by Christian values if the culture you grew up in is predominantly Christian. In fact I'd say that religion being this ubiquitous in the culture regardless of anyone's consent to exactly ONE religion being shoved down our throats is reason to team up with other religious folks who ALSO don't like being constantly evangelized to by the culture at large, not a reason to throw a fit because you don't like being tied to a religion that is so ingrained into the culture that shit like "oh my god" and "Jesus Christ" are common expressions of surprise regardless of how atheist you are. Like surely I'm not the only atheist to notice the shocking amount of cultural religious shit that works it's way into my life and speech despite having not set foot in a church since I was like 10, and I can't remember the last time I was in one before that.

Idk man cultural Christianity seems like a pretty damn useful term to describe my relationship with a religion I never fully bought into and then actively rejected as a child yet still hold weird connections to and knowledge of just because Christianity is so baked into the culture I grew up in like it or not. If you want to be mad, be mad at the Christians who stole your freedom from religion from you, not usually religious minorities who discuss cultural Christianity and how it damages them too.
