#shipshaming

Me @ shipshamers, antis who don't keep their stuff in the anti tag, firestarters, gatekeepers, the purity police, pearl clutchers, fanonazis, people who can't seem to comprehend that they can block tags they don't like, people who literally harass creators and fanworkers for their content, i could go on.

How about you use your energy to create the content that you do like instead of using it to parasitically drain the fun and life out of others'?

If you throw shit at others, they start throwing shit back and then before long everyone gets covered in shit, even the bystanders. And take it from me, someone who samples sewage treatment systems and septic tanks as part of their day job, some of the discourse crap on here is worse than the real thing.

Fandom is for everyone, even people you don't agree with, the internet is more than big enough, so why not utulise the filtering tools provided in order to navigate it to your liking.

OMGGGG YOU SHOULDN’T WRITE ABOUT ABUSE/RAPE/EMOTIONALLY DESTRUCTIVE RELATIONSHIPS/TABOO KINK BC YOUNG PPL MIGHT READ IT AND GROW UP TO THINK IT’S NORMAL

www.notmyfuckingproblem.com. i got one kid already, and if she ends up to be anything like me and starts reading porn at age 11, then it’s MY job to police her up, not the collective internet’s. 

WRITE, COLLEAGUES! WRITE THE SICKEST, PORNIEST, TABOO SHIT THAT WILL FREE YOU FROM YOUR HUMDRUM REALITIES AND THE CONSTRAINTS OF CONVENTION. Don’t let these vanilla ass judgemental morons bully you into having to explain your trauma/your sexuality/your reason why these topics speak to you: it’s NONE OF THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS. There are people who enjoy, and NEED what you write--for their own reasons, which are also NOBODY’S FUCKING BUSINESS. It’s high school all over again, where you’re singled out for not happening to be Just Like Them.

and i have no clue what my kid’s concept of normal will be, but i sure the fuck hope she isn’t as boring and afraid of the dark as some of you “normal” motherfuckers. one day, whether she reads smutty, abusive fanfiction or not, she will fall in love with an asshole, she will be hurt, and the world will shit on her, because that is how the world works. And then she will call her mother, cry to her friends, listen to angry music, draw guro, write beautifully disturbing stories for catharsis, read happy stories for relief, gain 20 lbs eating ice cream, shave her head, join Americorps and help the starving in Africa, or whatever it is she might do to make herself whole and try again, but with new knowledge that she could have only acquired through experience: NOT fanfiction.

Let people on the internet do as they do, and if it puzzles you to the point where you have to attack it, LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE, because at that point, you are contributing to one of the basest of human behaviors: to fear that which is different, or that which you don’t understand. Although I reckon most of you are like this because you subconsciously have a desire to feel like you’re better than somebody in some small way. 

I’m sick of explaining myself. I’m sick of being pushed to the point in which I’ll start shipshaming myself.

STOP telling me who I can and can't ship in a fandom

STOP shipshaming me

STOP telling me my ship is out of character
