#antiantis

OP also literally never stated that like... the mutual proshipper ever like force-fed any of their ideals or content. Or that they were even super close. They just happened to be mutuals. And mutuals that may or may not have ever directly interacted. And just happening to find out the mutual was proship was enough for OP to feel like they'd been nefariously misled for malicious purposes. How much you wanna bet the proshipper in question didn't even have that """bad""" of a ship, if a ship was even a part of the equation that lead to the discovery? In my experience, most pro-shippers actually have more tame ships than antis-- but of course, why should that even matter?

I am NOT an “Anti”

I don’t think shaming ppl for the things they like/blocking people just on the basis of their interests is productive, helps people who are actually hurt by the media, or is a good means of criticism.

And ftr, I do believe in boycotting - refusing to buy from a company or person because they use your money to fund bad shit - but there is a difference between that, and calling anyone whose ever liked said thing awful. ((Ex: If I were into Harry Potter I would not disown the entire series. However, I would not buy, follow, or support any funded Potter stuff until I know for certain that JKRowling is being dumped, which doesn’t seem to be the case. As is, she’s still profiting so I would be buying from fans rather than anything official now.))

I follow some nice blogs, like wetwareproblem, just-antithings, Antis-delete-your-blogs-pls-thx, and fiction-is-not-reality2.

I want more blogs to follow, so like/reblog if you’re anti-anti.

Somethings to note:

- If you post mainly about M/APS I won’t follow, its very very triggering.

- I don’t like RPF but if you support it, it’s whatever

- Transmeds and Truscum are transphobic, I won’t follow

- I won’t follow exclusionists

- Freedom of Speech protects you from the government and you can’t just say whatever you want

- Queer is an identity and is a reclaimed slur, we all identify as queer

- I’m not following Anti-Endogenics

- If you follow Cuppatea/Yoon-bum-indrag don’t bother. I don’t really ever want to see their content on my dash thanks.

Before this gets any discourse, some counter arguments:

- “B-but X person posts about M/APS/Free Speech” FINR is a long standing mutual who trigger tags shit. FINR, Mouse and I are in agreement that we can have our own opinions. In fact they’re usually the ones who make me feel the safest interacting with the community.

- “But you’re not a true anti anti unless you talk about M/APS” Trigger, a bonefide trigger.

- “Transmeds are right” Step on a LEGO. Please.

- “You can’t decide to echo chamber yourself!!” I’m not. I’m choosing to comfortably live with people I enjoy on my dash. I unfollow people who make me uncomfortable or I can’t stand the fandom they’re in. This is MY account and I choose who I want to see on.

- “You’re a trender tucute” I’m dysphoric anti-transmed. Step on a lego.

- “Queer is a slur” So was gay and lesbian at one point. Not to point shade but there’s people whose identities are slurs and refuse to censor it. Stop going after queer folks.

- “Ace/Aro people aren’t LGBT+” Step on a lego, and yes they are.

- “Endos are appropriating...” I don’t care, go away.

That should settle the arguments/discourse I get on the post.

We should not be encouraging children to interact with this sort of content. They shouldn’t be in our discord servers, and they shouldn’t be on our blogs (though we can’t control that anymore, thanks Tumblr).

They are not even old enough to be reading the shit they’re discoursing about. Not to mention it would be very easy for predatory people to capitalize on both sides’s arguments in order to groom kids.

Like... you poor dumb kids do know what the content of f/naf is, right? And that the characters you adore so much are child murderers? Not to mention the political alignment of the series’ creator?
