No matter what the haters and antis say, you still have a right to perceive a story in your own point of view. Just because someone perceives a story and the characters (and their relationships) differently than you do doesn’t make them wrong. Works of fiction aren’t meant to be over analyzed and treated like reality. Works of fiction are meant to take our minds off the real world for a brief period in time and just let us escape to a different world for a bit. It’s alright to discuss a story, but hating and attacking each other personally for it is a problem far beyond how you see a fictional story.
Aries – “Sometimes I might meet people and they might just not like me, not want to get to know me. And that’s okay. They’re boring as hell anyway.”
Taurus – “I’ve learned from every setback, proudly own up to my mistakes, grown from disappointments, and now I’m a glamazon bitch ready for the runway.”
Gemini – “I say I really like my slutty costumes. It’s, like, tongue in cheek. But I do, I really like my slutty costumes.”
Cancer – “The other day I was joking to one of my friends. He was like, ‘You’re kind of everywhere right now.’ I was like, ‘I know; I’m America’s sweetheart.’ He laughed in my face.”
Leo – “I can’t explain witchcraft. I just feel like I’m coming into my own. I’m confident in who I am and what I’m doing. I’m just having a great time.”
Virgo – “Nobody loves me as much as I love me; so I guess I’ll just be my own Valentine tomorrow.”
Libra – “I was recently asked in an interview what its like to be a gay athlete in sports. I said that it’s exactly like being a straight athlete. Lots of hard work but usually done with better eyebrows.”
Scorpio – "I’m like a witch and you can’t kill me. I keep coming back every year, and every year I get better.”
Sagittarius – “I’m going to go to Target, and I’m going to get a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc Oyster Bay with the twist top. Yeah. Uh-huh. Immediately. You can come right over. I live like 15 minutes from LAX and we can just have a day.“
Capricorn – “Maybe if this were my fifth Olympic Games, I’d say, ‘Oh, I wish it were like this, or like that.’ But honestly, at this point in my life, if they said, ‘Here’s your opening ceremony outfit,’ and then handed me a piece of rope and some broken sticks and a trash bag, I’d be like, ‘IT’S GORGEOUS. I’LL MAKE IT WORK.”
Aquarius – “I might not be the best, but I’m the most fun. I’m going to skate my heart out.”
Pisces – “With everything going on in the media about me this Valentine’s Day I don’t want people to get distracted and forget how beautiful I am (on the outside).”
My desire to not deal with people I think are unnecessarily negative and inflammatory is not a desire to only deal with people I agree with. My mutuals and I disagree all the fucking time holy hell this place is so annoying.
Also like… who cares if you (general you) only wanna deal w/ people you agree with on fuckin tumblr of all places? Like it’s your life! This is the web! Block whoever you want! Nobody is entitled to your time or consideration goddamn if you don’t wanna deal with someone don’t deal with them you don’t need a reason you’re not committing some moral sin by surrounding yourself w/ people you know you’re not going to be regularly in conflict with. it doesn’t mean you’re incapable of handling conflict or anything it just means maybe you don’t fucking want to in a space where it’s SO easy to avoid
This is a good point. I’m just so tired of people acting like you have to talk with everyone on here to understand their point before you block them. It’s not weak. It’s an act of self care because conflict on here ends up being such a huge waste of time and energy for me.
Some people use this site to debate and that’s fine. That’s not how I use it at all. It’s a hobby for me. it’s a place I go to have fun. It is entirely my prerogative to block anyone who is getting in the way of that for any reason.
This is only one side of the phenomenon: you have antis demanding that fanon content educate people, then that adults in fandoms take care and protect children, and what does it all tell you?
These teenagers are being left alone on the internet and are projecting the parenting they’re either not receiving or are not receiving as they need on perfect strangers on the web. They legit believe that they can make the internet space they like safe by demanding that the adults in it become their surrogate parents.
Sorry, random teenager on the internet, I’m not your parent, I’m not your teacher, and nobody owes you anything. Fandom is not a safe space. Internet is not a safe space.
