Curate, connect, and discover
I'm gonna be taking a break from tiktok, the toxic hazbin fans on that site are running rampant lately. Thankfully, tumblr still has fandom etiquette and my moots are the best but the degeneration of fandom culture is so disheartening to see, people can't accept other headcanons or ships, they feel entitled to fanfiction and fanart, the widespread use of AI to replace artists and writers, the way everyone is so oversensitive about every little thing, the DLDI rule is forgotten at this point, people are being rude for NO REASON, the lack of critical thinking skills and media comprehension, the MISOGYNY my god, antis overtaking comment sections and being more obsessed with the show than the actual fans, purity culture proliferating like a disease, fans' expectation for every single character to cater to their experiences and if they don't then they're bad rep or poorly written or viv is glorifying abuse, god forbid someone tries to ship a rarepair or crackship which is one of the pillars fandoms are built on, people spreading leaks and spoilers with zero consideration for others or respect for the creators, THE INSISTANCE TO CENSOR AO3 LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK as if it isn't THE online space created BECAUSE every other site was rigid and uncompromising. Ao3 has the best tagging system of any app and people still feel entitled to control what other people get to read or write instead of bothering to curate their own spaces the tags are there the warnings are there the description is there AND STILL people feel entitled to mold it so that it suits ONLY their tastes, normies bullied fans off of every single online space hence the creation of ao3 and now they worm their way there to try and bully everyone out again, get LOST
(Sorry for the vent, just needed to get it off my chest)
