im distancing myself from the bmc fandom for a little bit, explanation as to why is under the cut
I haven’t really said anything about what’s been happening recently, mostly bc I’ve been afraid to—but I find it super upsetting how we’re now throwing around death threats (over FICTIONAL SHIPS) and extremely harmful accusations with No proof, towards someone you don’t even know.
this is the internet for christ’s sake. THIS IS. TUMBLR. FOR. CHRIST’S. SAKE. if you don’t like someone or content that they post about then use the fucking block button .or just block tags for certain things !!!! and though this is absolutely redundant for me to say because it SHOULD be internet 101 im still going to say it; if you can’t handle the fact that other people are always inevitably going to have different opinions from you and You feel the need to harass them, then maybe you should get off of tumblr. get off the internet in general . turn your phone off and go the fuck outside and Please reevaluate yourself man😭😭 because it’s actually crazy for people to be so worked up about this…it’s crazy to harass innocent people who have done nothing, and this goes for both sides of this whole situation.
expressing your own opinions is not a bad thing. this is about fictional characters from a 2015 musical where theres supercomputers in pills that can enter the brain. it is NOT that fucking serious and it never will be!! nothing will ever warrant giving death threats to a minor & calling them slurs, and nothing will ever warrant spreading absolutely heinous accusations about a person that are simply false & harmful.
bmcblr has been a safe space of mine for nearly 6 months. it means so much to me, especially because I would not have met many great people (one of whom I consider to be a very close friend of mine!), if it wasn’t for this community. it definitely got me through a lot of hard times as well, which is also part of what makes this so upsetting and also stressful for me to see happening. and so I can’t even imagine how much harder it probably is for everyone else who has been in this fandom on tumblr for way longer than me,, it’s not fair to joshie or anyone else who now feels like they’re being chased or forced out of their own fandom/safe space because of the toxic environment . that is NOT cool to do to someone, even if you don’t like them. as I said before just block and move on instead of trying to ruin his reputation😭?? I get most people in this fandom are on the younger side but jfc, do you guys have any maturity?? like At all??? do you have nothing better to do with your life? seriously get a hobby like im tired dude. we’re all tired .
while the anonymous harassment was nobody’s fault but the own perpetrator’s, I still believe that we as a fandom need to do better when it comes to pointing fingers at anyone. the bmc fandom has never been perfect . I think it’s always been toxic to some degree—but honestly, every fandom is. all im saying is that I don’t personally want to be in a fandom that thinks it’s okay to do this type of shit to people, and I don’t want to be in a fandom that’s only going to give me more anxiety than I already have on a daily basis . I use my fandoms as a safe space where I can get away from that, not be subjected to more of it.
so genuinely, from the very bottom of my heart; please get your shit together bmc fandom!! please please pleaseee always remember to be kind to others. being hateful in any capacity is not going to make you feel better, it’s only going to make things worse for you and everyone around you. people can be more easily affected than you would think, and I hope this serves as a perfect example to that. and to anyone & everyone who was contributing to this harassment, I hope that youre fucking happy.
