I left this fandom because of the amount of disrespect I received for being an unapologetic NSFW artist. I wasn't even "proship" back then (I had my reservations about the whole anti/proship discourse as a whole) and so my art wasn't focused at all on dead dove... but people still gave me hell, just because I drew/wrote porn. Actually, it was this event that changed my mind and made me become openly proship... I realized that what people consider "problematic" has become more and more subjective over time, to the point where now any manifestation of sexual desire is seen as depravity. It's sad. I don't regret leaving the fandom, as I now have peace of mind. I might return someday, I can only hope things are better now. Kudos to you for having a safe space for those of us who aren't into these harassment campaign traps. The dinoverse fandom needs more of this.

Damn, im sorry you had to go through that anon
Very true, the thing with antis is that there is no objective clear line of whats acceptable and what isnt, as really it just depends on what they like and what they dont like, which ends up leading to a bunch of blatant sex negativity lol (they always complain when its romantic/sexual after all, but not when its platonic or just plain violence)
I would say that the fandom is def calmer now, still some bullshit here and there but its mild in comparison. And its no problem! I almost used to feel like i was alone in being proship and darkship in the dinoverse fandom, but when i was able to be open about my darkship interests, more and more people came out of their initial hiding hehe. Turns out most are just too afraid to say anything.
I did not expect to get the amount of traction i have, I'm glad to be able to help!
