in case you guys wanna know what modern high school dances are like, at mine despacito came on and everyone t-posed around this one kid as he fortnite danced like his life depended on it
literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
Honestly the Hero Academia fandom on tumblr dot com is a special sort of shit show and I … really don’t know how it’s taken this long for it to start reaching critical mass. And rest assured, it is fast approaching dangerous levels of toxicity and that’s pretty damn sad. Fandom spaces never used to be as divided as they currently are. Just take a look at old fandoms, even here on this hell site they function in an entirely different way. These stupid “do not interact” banners and icons that take a pointed shit on pride flags are particularly harmful and downright offensive to the people who suffered for those flags. They actually mean something to them and you’re out here essentially appropriating a meaningful symbol to the community and bastardizing everything it’s supposed to stand for by pasting your hateful rhetoric all over it? Vile.
Death threats, doxxing, harassment, stalking, very serious allegations being tossed around like confetti, vindictive slander, falsified police reports – and all for what? A ship you don’t like? A character you can’t stand? Y’all are absolutely psychotic if you legitimately believe for one second that any of this fandom shit actually matters, in your life or someone else’s life or in the real world, and there is not a single thing you can say that would validate this behavior in anyway. You’re trolling, but hiding behind the shield of social justice and claiming that you’re just looking out for other people.
You’re not. Plain and simple. You just like being contrarian for the sake of it and anyone who doesn’t agree with you is treated like less than dirt – regardless of their life experiences or traumas – and you do everything in your power to bully them into either siding with you or hiding in fear. It’s pathetic and wholly reprehensible. I can’t wait for the day that you anti’s grow up a little, gain some real world experience and get some true knowledge under your belt only for you to look back and say … damn I was a right cunt. I really wish someone would’ve knocked my fucking teeth out for carrying on like that. Because it will happen. Trust me on that. You will assuredly come to regret this behavior somewhere down the line and I just pray that you don’t destroy too many lives before you get to that point. I don’t know who to blame specifically for this unseemly state of affairs in the fandom circle (and it’s not just Hero Academia, yet it does stand out as being particularly awful) but I do know one thing. Current Tumblr is a cesspool of hate and anger and negativity that would honestly rival even that of 4chan in its hay day.
At least 4chan anons revel in their nastiness, y’all are just sitting in a pile of your own shit and insisting that you’re the cleanest person to ever walk this earth. Sad.
antis: force victim to out themselves and go into detail about their trauma
antis: use outdated bullshit articles to justify their “fiction affects reality!!!!!!” bullshit
antis: harass minors who ship things they dont like and tell them to kill themselves
antis: actively suicide bait teens who are already suicidal as it is
antis: slander people by calling them pedophiles, rapists, or abuse apologists with absolutely zero evidence or correlation to the topic at hand
antis: leave innocent people traumatized and prone to panic attacks due to severe harassment
antis: their biggest problem is people shipping things they dont like like how fucking privileged are you
antis: harass fujoshis when anti-fujoshism is rooted in nothing but misogyny
antis: turn victims into a complete fucking joke by comparing fictional ships to real life abuse
antis: post triggering content such as gore and emetophobia in ship tags then get mad when you call them out
antis: tell victims who disagree with them that they deserved their trauma
antis: claim to care about victims but force them to cope ship in private, tell them they know better than their professional therapists, assume they ship “problematic” ships as a coping mechanism when they very well could ship it just cause they like it, and insist that victims are harming themselves by exposure to such content even though it’s been proven that exposure is the most effective method of recovery
antis: literally put BLADES IN A FANARTISTS COOKIES AND ATTEMPT TO FUCKING MURDER HER OVER A FICTIONAL FUCKING SHIP OF AN AGED UP CHARACTER WITH ANOTHER ADULT CHARACTER
antis: lol why do people hate us lol we’re just normal people uwu uwu uwu in real life people will murder you for shipping weird stuff uwu uwu uwu totally lol lol :))
“Anti-fujoshism is rooted in nothing but misogyny”
Don’t forget racism too. Rewriting the definition of a word from a race and culture you’re not part of to fit your agenda and speaking over the native speakers who call you out on that behavior is pretty fucking racist.
