Just because they didn’t mean to be cruel doesn’t mean they weren’t cruel. Your hurt is still real even if their intention wasn’t to hurt you.
“They’re weird!/They’re not normal!”
That’s your opinion, not a fact. What you really mean is “They’re not like me”. They’re not hurting anyone by not being like you.
“They’re cringey!”
Again, it’s just your opinion, and they’re not hurting anyone. Cringe culture is pointless anyway.
“They’re annoying!”
Once again, just your opinion. If you think someone’s annoying, why not just stay away from them? No need to be rude.
“They’re autistic!”
Shame on you. Get out of my face.
“They’re fat!/They’re ugly!”
And you’re shallow. So what if you don’t like the way someone looks? It’s not your place to make them feel bad about it.
“They’re [any non-straight sexuality]!”
Get out of my sight. This is the 21st century.
“They’re trans!”
See above.
“They’re just seeking attention!”
You don’t know that for a fact. And even if they really are seeking attention, you don’t have the right to shame them.
“It’s funny to pick on them!”
Shame on you if you think bullying is funny. Get a life.
“I was just joking around!”
That’s no excuse. There are other ways to have fun that don’t involve putting other people down.
“Words can’t actually hurt anyone!”
Wrong. Words do hurt, and sometimes they can hurt more than actual physical injury.
“I’m not a bully, they’re just too sensitive!”
Not everyone reacts the same way. If you weren’t so rude, there wouldn’t be anything for the victim to be “sensitive” about.
“I’m just speaking the truth!”
Honesty is great. But you can be honest and say what you think without being rude about it. There’s a fine line between ‘brutally honest’ and ‘downright rude’.
“I have freedom of speech!”
You do. But if you’re using your ‘freedom of speech’ to bully and shame others, then you’re abusing it.
“But-”
I don’t care what ‘reason’ you pull out of your ass to try to justify bullying, it’s invalid. Bullying, whatever the reason is, is unnecessary, cruel, and totally pointless.
If you bully someone, you’re basically telling them:
“You don’t deserve to be happy”
“You’re inferior to me”
“Your feelings are a joke”
Me: *TAKES DEEP BrEATH* M E: I LO- anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you love MEIKO MOCHIZUKI, we get it okay, you love MEIKO, /MEIKO/ IS ALSO A Brightest F*CKING Starshine in your life, you f*cking ADORE THEM, yes okay YES, you love MEIKO MOCHIZUKI, HOW many times are we gonna go thrOUGH this, yOU F*CKING LOVE MEIKO MOCHIZUKI AND IT'S OK FOR YOU TO LOVE MEIKO *INCLUDING* AND *ESPECIALLY* EXACTLY AS MEIKO EXISTED IN ALL OF MEIKO'S CANON!!!!!
I know patreon and ko-fi links are banned on AO3 but how will / will the archive be updating at all to accommodate for fandoms like Genshin Impact that allow profiting off of fanficition?
–
Why would it change for Genshin Impact? Jane Austen’s work is out of copyright, and you still can’t post your ko-fi links on your Jane Austen fic.
The issue isn’t that profiting off of fic is illegal. That wasn’t always true when AO3 was founded either.
The issue is that AO3 was built to protect a type of fandom that is a gift economy.
If my friend shows up to my dinner party expecting me to let them turn it into a sales pitch for their multilevel marketing garbage, I will be annoyed. They have violated the social contract. They have taken a space I did the lion’s share of the work to build and attempted to monetize it in a gross way. Let them host their own dinner party if they want to do that!
Similarly, those of us who gave years of unpaid labor to build an archive where our style of fandom—a not-for-profit kind—could be safe are not interested in that space being warped into etsy or a dealers’ room at a convention. If other fans have other styles of fandom, that’s fine: they can build other archives for them.
Personally, I find that the introduction of a profit motive turns fic spaces from a place of peers sharing into a place of Audience vs. Content Creators, and I get enough of that hustle culture on every other site, thank you.
AO3’s popularity is likely partly due to how much it isn’t full of desperate shilling and begging. The fact that there’s no incentive to post chapter 1 and paywall the rest is incentive for readers to trust and like AO3.
The legality of Genshin Impact fic is irrelevant. AO3 bans commercial spam because it wants to.
First of all thank you everyone for sending me your birth charts. I'm now able to make this posts because of y'all 🥹
I can't see ghosts but I'm very scared of them as in my dreams the ghosts usually tries to take me away or want to take over my body for which even in my dreams I'm always chanting mantras or names. ( If anyone of you have similar experience I would like to have a chat )🙇♀️
💀 A heavily afflicted moon is the most prominent reason of connection with ghost, shadows, etc. it includes all seeing, hearing, talking, etc.
☠️ people having Moon+ Rahu combination can see shadows, etc.
☠️ 12th house is connected to spirituality so planets like saturn, Rahu, Ketu, in this house or aspecting the 12th house too can make a native contact with otherworldly things.
☠️ Sun + Rahu + Ketu + Moon + Saturn and Mars are all the planets which u need to look in your birth chart to know why are you seeing them.
☠️ Mars is blood and is connected to our ancestors that's why Mars is also behind in contacting spirits to u.
☠️ 12th house lord with the ascendant lord, strong connection with 8th house, heavy 12th or 8th house/stellium
☠️ 8th house will make the native suffer alot with the otherworldly things even if you can't see them you're able to feel, sense like Doumeki.
If you didn’t make it, don’t post it
If you didn’t get permission, don’t post it
If you don’t know who made it, don’t post it
Google is not a source. “I found it on Google” is not a valid response. Did you make it? No? Then don’t post it.
If the artist asks you to take it down. No excuses. No argument. Take it down.
You are not a victim. You stole something without permission. If you don’t want people to be angry, then apologize and delete it the second they ask you too. They won’t be mad anymore or see you are a bad person if you just follow their wishes.
Don’t try and turn it around like the artist is the bad guy and like that gives you the right to post their stuff.
Don’t lie about it, don’t try and change the story and look for pity from others. Just delete what the artist asked you to delete.
Be a decent human being and stop taking things that don’t belong to you. Reblog the post, spread the actual artist’s post around.
pretty interesting how neurotypicals will jokingly call each other “autistic” all the time with no issues, but as soon as an actual autistic person is involved they’re like “oh you mean those struggling with their life on the spectrum?” or some shit
like wtf let us reclaim the word you’ve made into a slur please, im autistic
Wall of Shame for gif+fanworks thieves and their supporters who steal my stuff and can't even give me a very simple apology. I'm not asking for much y'all! When it's not dealing with reposters, a general blog about gifs and other relevant PSAs. Have fun reading them all, hopefully you'll learn something significant about how to interact with strangers you don't know online. Genuinely, I hope they help, but I won't entertain reposters, trolls, or any of their supporters. By the way, if you've reposted my stuff or tried to argue with me in favor of stealing and reposting other's hard work without giving proper credit and asking for Permissions, delete it!!! Any reblog here noting fanworks thieves or supporters stays up until relevant posts or conversations are fully, one hundred percent deleted. It's super easy!!! "ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!"
