#nincourse

Okay we're gonna get real for a few minutes on this humble meme blog. We haven't been posting recently and we apologize! But whenever we check the ninjago tag there's so much negativity! We try to stay out of this stuff but tbh y'all are going hard. So real talk, what's everyone's issue?

There has been too WAY much discourse for a lego fandom! Sexuality? Race? Gender? Come on! This stuff is up to personal interpretation. You want a character to be gay? Then they are! Want them to be trans? Go on ahead! Fighting over this stuff just wastes so much energy, it's easier to just ignore it. Y'all gotta relax and let things play out. If you don't like something, just unfollow the people who do, block them, blacklist them, whatever you have to do. It's your own responsibility to block out what bothers you, you can't change everyone to fit to your needs.

And oh man oh man, the ships? Llorumi is abusive? Blacklist it. Garmacest, timecest, literally any incest pairing? Just blacklist it. actually with incest there are only like four blogs so you can just block them. Greenflame? Again, blacklist it. Anything you have a problem with, you can blacklist it. You can't force anyone out of the fandom, you can't stop them from creating their content, the best you can do is just block them and move on.

Do NOT send death threats and do NOT harass them. Everyone has their rights to create what they want, ethical or not. They're still people and nobody deserves that without good reason. If you are being harassed by them, block them immediately. I personally haven't seen much of it, but I don't see everything that happens here. If they send you death threats? Block and report them. Just stay in control, ask for help if you need it.

This fandom could be a wonderful place if everyone stopped being so aggressive and mean to each other over their opinions. Fandoms are meant to be fun, a place to share content and ideas! Not a place of negativity. Again, we aren't trying to stop you from anything, just please try not to upset people over trivial things. Some people in this fandom can handle it, but others can't. Just be wary and tag accordingly. Remember that you can always ask for help if you need any.

My opinions don't reflect that of Fairy Mod Mother, as she likes to keep her thoughts off of here. I'd like to attempt a truce between the fandom members so that we can find some peace, though my words may have been phrased incorrectly.

Incest can do damage to those triggered by it and it’s not exactly morally correct, but remember that it can also do good for those who cope with it. It’s up to opinions and situations. It’s only a portion of the problem, so I grouped it with the regular discourse in order to keep it all in one post. But, if someone is affected by incest and has trouble seeing it, I recommend blacklisting and blocking. Incest groups have always managed to flourish in nearly all fandoms. From big ones like Marvel and Supernatural, to smaller ones like Wild Kratts and Ninjago. For kids or not, if there are relatives, someone will hop on and make incest. The only true way to protect yourself is to blacklist and block. 

It’s never a bad thing to be upset, it’s a very rational thing to feel when someone sees something uncomfortable. People who are sensitive to things need to block what affects them. It’s never good to be exposed to a trigger, but nothing can be trigger-free.That’s why tagging and blacklisting is available, as to avoid things like that. 

I try to bring positive messages here. While I totally suck at making memes in a timely manner, they’re meant to bring something positive. Memes can be negative, but I’m looking to find the joy here. But on the note of issues, people will always have different coping methods and can’t be expected to change entirely. My main goal is to keep everything positive and away from all of the anger! 

The wording of this is slightly confusing me, but I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability. The whole issue with fandom is very complex, as some use their content to cope. Everyone copes differently from traumas, disabilities, and general emotions. There are those who head canon sexualities and races, and that’s mostly so they can relate to them on a personal level. Everyone has their way of coping and it’s rude to just hop on the death threat train when they could just be dealing with their personal issues. If you mean to fight against these people, I believe it’s okay to state your opinion. All opinions should be welcome, because that’s a form of freedom that all people should have. It’s always okay to be against something, but it’s not okay to wish harm upon another without good reason. I just think that fighting is an endless cycle, because fights never end well. Someone will always end up unhappy, there’s rarely a truce. Usually ends up in one blocking the other, or just bitterness. It’s hard to relax and be happy when you’re being angry. 

Please send another ask if I missed something, as I have a tendency to misunderstand things and go off on unwanted tangents.
