Am I allowed to be mad that someone who recently said: ”I guess what I’m getting at is: discourse and critical examination of
personal preferences, habits, and contributions in fandom is good.” blocked me without a response when I said something critical about one of her personal preferences? (I’d respond to her directly if she hadn’t done that).

In retrospect, I think I was going off of incorrect information due to an alt//right psyop (like by its original definition as a deliberate operation to manipulate people psychologically instead of how it’s been turned into a meme due to the russian blog purge) but we could’ve had a conversation about it like adults instead of everything left unresolved and us both probably walking away from the interaction feeling like shit as a result.

In general, this person puts on this persona of “I’m supportive to marginalized fans” but then doesn’t do anything apart from preach about it in a self-congratulating way. People like her who know what to say in order to seem progressive but circle the wagons despite that are just as much of roadblocks to progress in making fandom more inclusive to marginalized people as people who do the same stuff without the fancy lingo.
