Hello WTTG/Scrutinized fandom... Please leave me alone, I do not like this fandom 😭
I posted quite a bit last year for this fandom, specifically Tanner. However, upon learning about Adam's IG stories where he pretty much confirms Tanner is a rapist, I've been out. Tonya is my genderbent version of Tanner and has become my own little thing. She is what I wanted Tanner to be, not what he is canonically.
I see people like my posts a lot, and thank you! But I am distancing myself from the fandom after some reflection on the people I want to surround myself with.
Tanner is a great villain, and I hope to see some more about him in WTTG3, but as it stands I no longer like him the way I did when making those posts.
Of course WTTG/Scrutinized is about terrible people doing terrible things, things that cannot be excused. From rape, trafficking, stalking, murder and more... it's just a series where the fandom appears to glorify these bad people AND their actions. Fandom space should be safe and open for those who wish to explore themes and avenues involving negative things in an artistic manner. However, that does not save you from being judged or blocked. And thats okay. To each their own I suppose. I just hope some of you know that your treatment of fictional scenarios *really* makes me think you would treat it the same irl.
I adore Luna and Clint, and I very frequently write about Luna. I love to explore her grief and anger, especially when her story and character hit so close to home. Besides them, I only really like Delfalco and Lucas. Both are still evil men who kill, and Lucas is said to have committed literal war crimes. No excusing that. But I am more comfortable exploring that avenue artistically, rather than rape with Tanner.
One of my very first posts for this fandom was involving rumors of Tanner being a rapist. And I stand by what I said. Tonya will continue to be my own little thing that is now pretty removed from Tanner. But as it stands, no one has been interested in Tonya. And I understand! You all came for Tanner and his character, so it loses some appeal when Tonya winds up being so different.
Anyways. Continue to do your thing and express your creativity. I just no longer wish to be associated with being a Tanner fan. Though thank you for the lovely messages and invites regarding my Tanner posts. I've learned, reflected and grown a bit over the course of a year, and even over a few months. Things are constantly moving and changing around you, and hopefully in you as you continue to live.
Tl;dr - Tanner fans please ignore me, I am no longer part of the club.
