The toxicity of fandom + BL

Toxic Fans are invasive. These type of viewers believe they have ownership and ‘deserve’ certain things not only from the content itself but also from the actors beyond the confines of the show.

This type of fan isn’t fictional. They exist in almost every fandom but particularly in the BL fandom, especially on sites like Twitter (and some even linger here on Tumblr).

Lovely Writer is exposing the pressure these kind of fans and viewers put not only on the production companies but the actors or artists themselves.

As a fan of a show, we have no right or claim to an actors personal life and yet, for some reason, built into the culture of the BL fandom is this bizarre sense of ownership and control over the actors and who they choose to interact with. This component of the fandom is so pervasive that it affects how a show or program is promoted and the expectations it puts on the actors and creative team to create moments of ‘skinship’ and reasons to ship the pairings together. It seems like this is the only type of media that so heavily relies on what occurs when the camera ‘stops rolling’ to promote the shows which puts unfair pressure on the actors and sets them up to endure uncomfortable situations.

The bottom line is that, as viewers, we need to understand that the actors are doing a JOB. They are being PAID to sell a product, which in this case, is a pairing, but we must understand that we have no claim to their personal lives. These shows are FICTIONAL and yet drama and judgment has bled so often beyond the outlines of the shows and promotions that these actors are forced to participate in because of their contracts. Friendships have been ruined, relationships tainted and some performers have even left the entertainment industry completely due to harassment from fans.

The fact that this show has been made is a lesson to make it DIFFERENT and show a fictitious example of what it is like for the actors in this industry. As fans, we have no right to actor’s personal lives. Actors do not ‘owe’ us anything. Ever. Period.
