"Wah, why aren't fandoms fun anymore?"
Because you keep policing people's headcanons, making fun of them and calling them horrible things, and on top of that, you're somehow claiming to be a safe space for people to express their creativity, yet turning around and harassing them anyways because you've made a billion exceptions to the "don't police people" rule and you think, like everyone else who's made their own exceptions, that your exceptions justify harassment.
So you're making fandom into a field of rat traps where nobody even dares interact with anyone, or shares art anymore, because you still might just attack them for it because they did something as simple as writing a canonically soft character as... a softie.
Let people do their "cringe" y/a romances, let people do their "gross" ships, let people write those characters as jerks or softies. Let them, and mean it when you say you'll let them, instead of soapboxing about it in a patronizing post but not really meaning what you're soapboxing about.
it's always fascinating how you can make a post that's like 'we need more girls in stuff' and without fail someone will come onto it and say 'okay but what if instead there was more stuff about men' like clockwork. it doesn't matter how unserious your reply actually is i just want you to die for bringing that energy onto my post.

Day 15 of Auctober!
I love that sharing little things with someone you care for has been given a name! Pebbling! The term comes from how penguins will give pebbles to their loved ones.
I really connect with the term since, when I was a kid, I'd show my step-dad that I cared for him by giving him cool rocks! He still has those rocks to this day!
