a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activismadult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxesthe vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actuallyliking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your spacepreferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irlliking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe thatjust because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda haveno one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problemsabusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers shipsy’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal peoplefandom is a hobby, not a form of activismfeel free to add more
