don’t support Fandom /srs-imp
This is to anyone currently on Fandom.
This is not me trying to persuade you to instantly quit/abandon Fandom, as I know there’s communities and friendships here, and requesting/suggesting that would be unreasonable. This is me warning you that they are queerphobic pieces of crap.
https://lgbt-pride.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000095167 (this is just one example) (if you can’t access the link/it goes to a dead wiki, here are some screenshots)
Multiple of their staff team members seem to be conveniently ignoring their own ‘no transphobia or homophobia’ rules, and are in the process of (as far as I’m aware) deleting EVERY. SINGLE. LGBT+ WIKI, under the pathetic excuses of them being ‘duplicates’, or having ‘harmful content’, or whatever bullshit they like to spew.
They go ‘oh you have the perfectly good LGBT+ wiki WE made just go THERE dummies’, but they’re PERFECTLY AWARE that that wiki only allows ‘well-known’ or ‘popular’ genders, as well as generally having extremely strict rules. They don’t care about the queer community, and we need to stop pretending they do.
Be angry. Be pissed. Be sad, be hurt. But DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, go attack no berate them. They’ll write you off as an emotional woke teenager, and using your own personal experiences don’t fking matter to them; I see a lot of ppl do that, and I’ not insulting them in any way, but Fandom really doesn’t care when you go ‘oh no but MY gender isn’t ‘normal’ what about me don’t you relate to me’. No. They don’t. Your words do. Not. Matter. To. Them. It sucks, the world sucks, but we need to remember that some people are just full of shit.
If you have a small wiki/are working on one/hope to work on one, I’m begging you, DON’T USE FANDOM. Don’t support Fandom. Don’t support blatant queerphobes. Spread this post if you can, I beg of you. We can’t do much, but anything is better than nothing. Again, I don’t demand you instantly quit Fandom or anything, but do what you can. Try alternatives, if possible. I’m personally using Miraheze as where I’m moving my own wiki (The Invoker Trilogy wiki) to, and its coding style is pleasantly similar to Fandom’s — they even have a whole page on ‘so, you’re moving from Fandom’, lol!
I just wanted to get this out there. Don’t support Fandom.
