joining fandoms is fun until it becomes apparent that fans you thought you were connecting with are anti-ish & realizing that although you've been seeing the humanity in them, they only selectively see it in you bc they won't learn that fandom/fiction activism ≠ activism & only leads to censorship

Yup. I ghosted a fandom friend group when I was getting into Reylo because I realized they were the “Reylo is abuse” crowd on Tumblr.

I don’t understand any of the words in this thread but hear hear

A lot of trop people were antis in previous fandoms and it shows

That's what the majority of Valve stans are despite plastering themselves as "good". Say even one thing bad about them, specifically them only, they'll bite you back tenfold without mercy.

I'm allowed to say endeavor from my hero, because endeavor from my hero.
