I don’t get how someone can be against anti-shipping and also against weird shit at Pride.
“Write as much weird fic as you want and I will support you but don’t be weird IRL or you’re disrespectful and should stop.”
And now I know of at least THREE people who hold this contradictory position.
Your explicit kinky Reylo fic is squicking someone else out just as much as you are squicked out by makeout sessions at Pride. Just letting y’all know that.
tbh i think they would probably say fic is mostly private, or at least only seen by people explicitly looking for it, and pride is public. that said, “too much pda at a public event!” reminds me of when i was young and i would get afraid that my parents were acting like fobs without realizing it because of internalized racism. it’s at least partly internalized homophobia that they just need to sort through. if they’re really having an issue where they’re being dragged into pda situations against their will then they need to have a conversation about consent, not pda
I think it depends on the medium the fic is on. Like for example tumblr’s recommendation algorithm keeps recommending me c137cest because I follow the Rick and Morty tag and it’s only because the folks who make it are kind enough to tag that I don’t see it unfiltered. If they didn’t tag then I would have to choose whether to unfollow the “rick and morty” tag altogether or deal with seeing it sometimes.

John Boyega got racist internet hate when he was revealed as a new Star Wars protagonist
Daisy Ridley got sexist internet hate when she was revealed as a new Star Wars protagonist
Kelly Marie Tran got racist and sexist internet hate when she was revealed as a new Star Wars protagonist
and Daisy and Kelly both eliminated their social media presences for it.
idk what to even say, entitled white male Star Wars fans are absolute trash and have no place being fans of movies about hope and compassion for others.
I’ll add that it’s very noticeable that a significant swath of people ostensibly defending her feel the need to qualify it with how much they dislike Rose. Saying ‘don’t throw racist misogynistic abuse at the actress of a character you hate’ is … clearing the lowest possible bar. Apparently, it’s so difficult to simply denounce widespread racist misogyny without tacking on their seething hatred of a character her actress did not write.
I legit had to just read the phrase “Alden Ehrenreich is the first man of color in a lead role in a Star Wars movie“ with my own two eyes I am NOT kidding I’m seriously wheezing like I had to reread that sentence 5 times to make sure I wasn’t misreading it
how the heck is that man anything but White (oh, is he Jewish??? can we stop assuming that Jewish = not white??? like that erases actual Jewish people of colour, like black and indian jewish people
also WHO THE FRICK FORGOT ABOUT FINN, WHO IS PLAYED BY A BLACK MAN AND WAS THE FIRST MAN OF COLOUR TO LEAD A STAR WARS MOVIE
and if you forgot him there’s also, oh, I don’t know ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY starring not one, not two, but FOUR men of colour in the lead roles
this fandom is absolutely bonkers and this is what I mean by diversity/woke points becoming a mainstream thing to seem cool has actually put the anti racist movement backwards because instead of uplifting actual POC people are bending over backwards to give white people the POC label
Survey results were interesting on their own but I don’t think the reason why the disliked tropes were stated as disliked was due to self-editing. It’s possible that maybe they’re…actually not that well-liked?
The same damn weirdos who be supporting some of the most vile shit that fandoms have to offer and telling people to not be so sensitive be the same exact ones who be writing a Harvard style essays about how toxic fandoms are because they got called a loser.
You can’t have it both ways.
It’s either fandoms should run rampant with uncalled out incest, pedophilia, rape, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, etc because “Don’t Like, Don’t Look! Don’t be so sensitive! :)” and y’all get made fun of for it OR all that disgusting shit is addressed because its clear y’all don’t have the spine to take being called out.
So what’s it gonna be? Be a decent human being with some semblance of morals or be a weirdo that has no friends?
