Quick question, what's tf2fip?
tf2fandomisproblematic is a silly blog thatās apparently cropped up recently with the intention of calling out anyone they deem as a problematic person.Ā
As they put it on their own FAQ
this is tf2fip, a blog where we keep an archive of problematic posts and users in the tf2 fandom. problematic things include: transphobia, homophobia, queerphobia in general, racism, ableism, kin hate, pronoun hate, and really anything that we find could be extremely offensive to a group of people.
And while those are all terrible things, theyāre going about it by making an āavoid listā of tumblr users on the blog. The fact that catbountry and protowilson are on there should be enough of a tip to how bogus the list is. Itās a blog centered around fostering negativity.
Iāve seen sweet people who aren't even on it getting singled out, though most of what Iāve learned is some scouring the tags to figure out this mess.
Itās especially bad once you realize that the list is, basically, calling hateful anonsā attention to these people. And the anons have been causing issues, from what little I was able to glean from tags and lurking. As I said, Iām late to this party.
Iām not going to name names, but who I assume to be the head admin seems like the sort of person who loves to roll around in the drama they create.
Doesnāt help that they appear to be a hypocrite in those regards, sending hate (whether personally or not) towards anyone who thinks that what theyāre trying to do is wrong and declaring their own blind hatred for cis people. Iām not about to get too involved with gender politics or this clusterfuck, but couple that with their blogās intended message and it is not a pretty picture of a person.
āEveryone is awesome (which they are) except this one group of people I think is scum.ā
Iāll admit, Iām not the best worded or most intelligent person in this fandom and Iām sure anyone else could have explained it better, but thatās what the blog is.
