im not even in fandom but after seeing small artists getting harassed on twitter for things like this . i couldn’t agree more

I'm allowed to find the interest in incest and underaged shipping a huge red flag and to compare that to religious brainwashing? Especially seeing as I'm someone who is a CSA survivor and survivor of religous abuse? That's vile.

The obsession with other people's shipping is the red flag part. It's not a red flag to dislike some kinds of stories, or to find them disgusting, or to believe that there's something wrong with the people who write or read them.

The problems come when they decided they, personally, have been appointed to "fix the problems" in the fannish community... and target marginalized creators instead of the institutions that those creators are reacting to.

(See them NOT holding protests against Game of Thrones. See them not "cancelling" anyone with an HBO subscription.) (HBO-Max costs about $120/year, but there's no threats against people who pay for that instead of donating to AO3.)

The similarities to religious brainwashing come in when they build communities based on a shared hatred of other people's activities, and go out of their way to (1) harass other people and (2) treat each other as the only good, noble, pure fanfic readers.

Notice the antis NOT reaching out to the Mil-SF communities that don't want any shipping in their fics, just tech and space battles. Notice them not talking to the mainstream romance communities that want non-problematic, happily-ever-after stories. They're not looking for people who share their interests or taste in fiction. They're looking for targets, and they're using that search as a way to force their own members into isolation.

They will insist it's not like religious brainwashing because there is no specific canon, no core scriptures, no specific leaders.

...But the patterns of isolation, abuse, and harassment are absolutely the same kind you find in religious cults.

An important thread by certified catboy.

Screenshot transcript: Whenever a new bl game or anime or manga or smthn comes out there's always ppl like "I better not see any women read/watch/play this" or "wait till the women get to this" and that is not the allyship to mlm u think it is. That's just misogyny. I say this so many times but you cannot have full queer representation and normalization in media without allowing EVERYONE to read and partake in it. I'm so tired of seeing this performative activism let people enjoy boys kissing. It's not fetishization until it's translated onto real mlm/nblm, by micromanaging who can read what queer media depending on their labels n shit is so sickening man, we WANT queer media to be enjoyed by all, not gatekept and further isolated from others.

I think it's important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they're a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. "You're a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that's ok" how about you are a boy and a man and it's still ok if you want to do something that doesn't align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him¹ in a skirt and makeup.

Edits:

¹ People in the notes are correct, He/Him does not exclusively mean male. However in my defence this was a personal rant. I did not expect it to break containment quite this much so this is litterally just first draft brain dribble. I stand by the principle that gender is personal expression and not a dictation. He/Him ladies and She/Her men can do what they want with their gender. And they can also rock traditionally feminine styled fashion if they want to.

TERF's however can fuck off. This is a pro-Trans space, and this post was inspired by watching people be so pro-trans they reinvent the gender binary, which is in large part due to over enthusiastic Cis people.

Welcome to my shitposting

Oh hi! I’m still a piece of garbage!
