Some thoughts on fandom hatred in a time of hate and ugliness

The extreme negativity of the few assholes who style themselves “anti-Tony Stark” must be exhausting.

And this extends to ANY so-called “fan” who actively hates another fandom, a ship, a character – I don’t care what. You should be ashamed.

If you are simmering in your stew of hatred, thinking about hating a fictional story or ship or character every day, spending your precious time and energy blogging your jealousy or hatred…or worse, stalking the fandom tags and trying to ruin the joy of fandom for others – then you are part of the ugliness and negativity in this world that only leads to more ugliness and hate.

And don’t you think there’s more than enough hatred in this world already?

Do we really need hate and toxicity in fandom??

Fandom is supposed to be a fun escape for people who are passionate about a fictional character or characters, a story, a show or movie, a performer. If you try to turn that against itself, you’re not only unworthy of being a “fan,” you are part of this world’s problems.

Can you imagine, for instance, making a blog and a tag about some fictional thing you dislike – and then literally going onto the fandom tag of the people who love that character, or stalking passionate fans who love that particular thing, and spreading your hatred and ugliness?  

Can you imagine TRYING to ruin the joy and happiness of people who maintain a loyal fandom for that character – building whole blogs hating the thing they love, calling them names, sending them literal death threats, trying to – I don’t know what? “Change their minds” about a character they love?

That’s a fool’s errand. It won’t happen. Throwing slings and arrows at a thing only makes the people who love that thing circle the wagons in protection of what they love, and love it even more. Ruin their happiness? You can try - but it won’t happen. Really all you succeed in doing is having them think less of YOU – that you’re a bully and that you’re ridiculous.

You may think you’re having “fun” by being jealous of and hating a fandom, a character or a ship and spreading the hate around. You may wallow in this mire with a few other small-minded individuals who, like you, only want to curse and hate and defame and threaten. 

But in the end it’s not much “fun,” is it? Hating is toxic; it eats at the soul of the hater. Hate and negativity is usually the tactic of people with low self-esteem who want to build themselves up by attacking something. If you surround yourself with negativity and spend so much energy on bullying and hating and jealousy, it will come back upon YOU. You’re the one creating and living in the toxic stew. You’re the one spending your time actively trying to ruin others’ joy. You create your own reality. And – on top of all that – it’s just not getting you anywhere. Your negativity makes the lovers of the thing love the thing even more. It makes them actively dislike YOU. So you’re basically stuck in a poisonous loop of your own making.

How much better it would be, for your own mental health, to simply avoid the things you dislike, instead of showering toxicity on people who love and enjoy the things? How much better to spend your time and energy on POSITIVE things – blogging about the things you love, for instance?

tl; dr: Just about every day, we see that the world has more than enough hate and bullying and negativity. We don’t need it in fandom as well.

STOP FANDOM HATE AND NEGATIVITY.

So, today, Marvel published issues of comics revealing that in fact the Nazis were always supposed to win World War 2, and the Allies invented the Cosmic Cube to rewrite history to prevent that from happening. 

That was released today. April 19th.

The anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest Jewish revolt during World War 2, the first urban uprising in Nazi-occupied Europe, begun when the Nazis decided to completely wipe out the Warsaw Jews on Passover eve. Instead, the Jews held out for nearly a month, with whatever they could fight with. They’re honored to this day. 

And Marvel published their Nazi-stanning dumpster fire of a retcon today.

i fucking love steve rogers and nothing any of you say will change that. i love him w/ my entire being and i’ll protect him at all costs bc he’s a genuinely good person who looks out for people and doesn’t just cater to governments who he knows are 99% of the time never looking out for the people. he hates bullies and he literally has the super soldier serum bc he’s a genuinely nice, kindhearted person who watches out for others no matter the risk to himself. mcu steve rogers is a kind man with a heart of gold who’s fiercely protective of his friends when they’re threatened. idc what any of you have to say!!!!!! talk all the shit you want about him but that doesn’t change anything about who he is and i love him

It’s amazing that some fictional characters can live their own life like that. In the hearts of real heroes. No stupid or cruel plot twists can change that.

I just had a thought on Steve’s initial argument against the Accords.

What if they send us somewhere we don’t wanna go?

I Just Had A Thought On Steve’s Initial Argument Against The Accords.

What if they don’t send us somewhere we think we should be?

I Just Had A Thought On Steve’s Initial Argument Against The Accords.

He already had a point in his life when he knew he could be helping the people who needed it, but was limited to a star-spangled costume and jaunty theme tune. He’s been put on the bench before, and he’s seen people he cared about suffer because of it. If they’d let him out sooner, maybe Bucky and his unit would never have been captured. Maybe Bucky would never have been tortured and hurt and made into Zola’s plaything.

Given the war that Steve fought in, and given that he saw how America hung back until Pearl Harbour happened, I don’t imagine he’s ignorant about how they could end up being put on the shelf while conflicts raged, until they were absolutely necessary. On top of that, he has watched his identity as Cap be used for politicking, to sell war bonds, to encourage patriotism and all that jazz, even after his death.

And here’s a thought: Tony was the one who created and unleashed his weapons on the world. Steve was one of those weapons. It’s the difference between being the seller and being the product. Tony sees it as a quality control. Steve sees it as losing his autonomy and becoming that dancing monkey again.

OMG this is the best  XD

stevetony will never be canon, keep dreaming

there goes all my hopes cRUSHED, anon. all of this time spent shipping them meANINGLESS. empty. how will i gO ON knowing that they will never be elevated to the mythic untouchable status of canon. it’s so sad that all i have is

steve riding tony

steve defending naked tony’s honor

the way tony likes to launch himself face first at steve in order to protect him

tony stark: steve rogers’ personal chauffer

it’s

kind of

a thing

for them

but let’s not forget

steve carries tony out of burning buildings in the bridal carry

in fact steve guest stars in an iron man comic just to carry tony out of a burning building

the fireman’s carry is actually reserved for the cartoon

marvel funded & created a CGI animation film featuring 71 minutes of them sassing each other and taking names

once upon a time the current writer for the avengers, jonathan hickman (2012-present) implied that tony’s method of choice to make up to steve were blowies

and yes he might be torturing us all but at least he’s man enough to admit that the avengers is really about their relationship

and is that surprising i mean there’s an entire comic that’s based on a narrative arc, again, aBOUT THEM

comic writer brian michael bendis on how avengers: prime was framed as an adventure they had to go on to remind them why they love each other so much

here it is in tony’s own words

tony looking like he’s having a religious experience and seen the light or smth while being hugged by steve

60′s comics written like all the best terrible fanfiction where tony stark refers to steve rogers’ eyes as clear azure and composes poetry about his grace and daring

“i know you believe in the future, but i believe in people. and i choose to believe in your, iron man.”

retro comics were just really gay

animated tv show avengers assemble opens with steve facing off against red skull, his presumed “death” is the catalyst for tony reforming the avengers. their mid-season finale ended with tony “almost dying”

not very pg-13 for a kids’ show if you ask me

it’s really also extremely gay

tony stark no. 1 fanboy

in all the universes

what’s his username? captain america. what’s his password? captain america. foolproof. no one would ever guess. totally unhackable.

avengers tower: home and HQ of the earth’s mightiest heroes but also the site of the one and only “cap tribute room”

all the best superhero bases have framed portraits of captain america it’s interior designing 101

in fact tony thinks steve’s pretty no matter what skintight navel-bearing costume he’s wearing

tony thinks ultimates cap just so happens to be america’s hottest president

“CAPTAIN HANDSOME”

“good morning beloved” to which steve answers without even batting an eye

are they flirting??? was there really another horse?? we just don’t know

“where is here? is this a dream? tell me it is, tony. tell me you can wake me. tell me i’m not going to die in my sleep. don’t let this old soldier just fade away” – marvel comics?? or soap opera love story?? who can even tell the difference???

pictured: assorted superheroes with representatives from the avengers, the fantastic four, the x-men discussing how much tony and steve love each other while in the background steve and tony have a conversation

a married couple and leaders of the next generation of avengers referring to steve and tony as the mother and father of the avengers

sometimes they hold hands

actual canon universe earth-3490 where cis female tony married steve and their marriage helped end the civil war.

“mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one, nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong. you gave me a home.”

tony and steve’s lips have touched bc tony was giving him cPR TO SAVE his life at the risk of his own

tony referring to the day he met steve as the greatest day of his life

civil war: the confession. where tony stark admits to steve rogers’ cold dead body that worse than the equivalent of selling his soul, alienating half of his friends and family from him, destroying his moral integrity combined, the one thing he couldn’t live with was steve being dead

“maybe… maybe there was a reason you had to be on the other side of every argument. how you could be my rudder, steering me when other’s couldn’t… i don’t know if i can do it without you… i certainly won’t do it as well…”

like they’re standing there reincarnated as walking corpses and steve’s missing half his face and they’re still acting like an old married couple

“guess they’ll have to learn to love me. you did.”

they jOKE ABOUT HAVING THE KIND OF ROUGH SEX THAT REQUIRES SAFEWORDS.

why dream when i have all this cold hard reality staring me in the face
