Curate, connect, and discover
While I may enjoy a few ships that are considered problematic and some fictional stories that have reactionary elements, I have lost a lot of respect for self identified proshippers in the wake of many white, and some POC liberal, fandom blogs openly gloating about preferring to donate to AO3 over gofundme. Even aside from Palestinians who these liberals view as all scammers, people set up gofundmes to escape abusive homes or conservative communities, to put food on the table or aid medical expenses. If you think that marginalized people who ask for money deserve to suffer because they didn’t support Copmala btw, you are human garbage and have no understanding of true solidarity.
I’m going to be very blunt with this. Asking people to spare even a dollar for those in need does not make someone an “anti” with “main character syndrome”. It’s fine to enjoy fanfiction and fandom but if you think those hobbies are more important than human lives and that anyone who calls you out is just being entitled, then you need to rethink your priorities. Being asked to have a bare minimum of decency should not make you uncomfortable and being uncomfortable is not inherently bad because some things should make you question your beliefs or your actions.
It’s the same reason leftists ask people to read theory and watch more mature or nuanced media than just kids shows. Not because we hate autistic people with special interests but because even genuinely good progressive children’s media can only tackle social/political issues on a base level. Again, it’s fine to have hyperfixations or participate in fandom but there’s a line. The lives of real people are always more important than your favorite stories, whether it’s abandoning the wizard books for solidarity with trans women or sparing some money for gofundme and listening as opposed to dismissing them all as scams so you can sleep at night.
