#twitter hack

Hi Nonnie!!  Welcome.  Glad my blog has been insightful.  As for the twitter hack, my post can be found her (x).

Dear nonny,

yes I heard that and I’m really quite angry about it. Not only is it accusing a REAL person of an illegal act (and only sort of ‘censoring’ their url), but it is also incredibly far-fetched. I mean it is quite an act to hack twitter accounts and to think that anybody would go to that length just so they can play the victim? How? Reason anybody?

A Jonsa Anti hacks Twitter accounts (someone who calls himself Jonsa moron is clearly a Jonsa anti), and real people are upset, are invaded in their privacy… What would be the natural reaction? The natural reaction would be:

OMG, this is so bad! I really hope it was not one of us and if it was I feel second-hand embarassment and I wish they were not part of our fandom.

What happened? Nobody said anything. Now, let’s just assume that some of them live in their happy bubble and did not realise something happened…. The only thing I am aware of was an anon GLOATING about the hack and the answer they got was just “I don’t really know how I feel about this.” How can you not know how you feel about this?

But apparently some (again trying not to generalise here) had their narrative ready. Since it is the Jonsa fandom that is so ‘toxic’ as everybody knows, it could not have been a real Anti. It must have been someone from the Jonsa fandom who did this so we could play the victim. Just makes sense. Because if something does not fit into the narrative you made for yourself that something clearly is fake  news? (Disregarding the fact that there is proof,  @undeadmanbun posted the proof).

This is classic victim-blaming, and I’m really, really angry about this.

I would @ the person who indulged in this by answersing to that ask if I had not seen that they have no awareness whatsoever that they did something really shitty judging by how they reacted then someone alerted them to the fact that there is proof that the hack was real.

Again, if you get an ask like that: Did you know that so and so (url censored) hacked twitter accounts so they could blame our side of the fandom, your answer should be:

How did you get that far-fetched idea anon? Is there any proof for that?

Instead that person turned around and joined in the victimblaming…. Instead of just admitting that like every fandom theirs has also shitty people. It is statistics, Vanessa, Susan or whatever your name. Any fandom bigger than say 100 has shitty people. We have as well, but most of us call others out for cross-tagging etc. - Honestly I would not realise if people send anons or jump on posts because I have Jon€rys blacklisted, I guess it happens, but hacking twitters or slandering real people is some next-level shit.

When I ask for receipts I never get an answer and some have the audacity to claim that you should just browse the Anti-dany tag for receipts, when D is a fictional character. And even if people outright hate D they do not hurt any real people by that.

And honestly, some of them really, really have a problem seperating their fictional favs from the actors, and I’m not talking about shipping real people like K1milias do - yikes - but also about the fact that the whole twitter disaster started because a D stan was angry that Sophie was doing promo, and Emilia not. Hello? Anybody there in that brain of yours?

When D&D go out with Emilia and have a nice dinner, this is somehow proof that D can’t die in season 8, because Emilia would never forgive D&D for killing off D? That is how some of them mush up fictional characters and the actors….

You know I’m sure there must be some nice shippers, and I even had the odd civil talk with some of them, but somehow I’m very close to conclude that these must be the exceptions that prove the rule.

And yes, I would like to love Jonsa in peace as well. But we are not going to get it. As I see it there are three possibilities:

Jonsa becomes canon in season 8. Then they will tell us. Don’t be bad winners. Don’t you dare be happy about this. You were just lucky you got canon because D&D love Sansa, because you paid money to HBO or you made a lucky guess based on your shipper goggles. And anyway the BOOOKS WILL BE DIFFERENT.

Jonsa is still only a possibiltiy after season 8, or Jonsa is just political, not romantic: Nothing will change, we will stay delusional teenage soccer moms without a job. .

Jonsa does not become canon: Why do you still ship it? You delusional teenage soccer moms….

They dynamic of hating Jonsa (assuming the worst without receipts, condoning behaviour from the Jon€rys side of the fandom like fake blogs, hate blogs - whose sole purpose is to crosstag - and even invading personal spaces and illegal acts, and calling out Jonsas for daring to do things like posting in the Jon Snow tag or the Arya tag) is so set by now, that it is like a train. The Antis won’t change track, whatever happens. It is sad.

All we can do is not to generalise however great the temptation, block the assholes, blacklist and produce positive content for our ship. And honestly, probably just don’t interact with the people who have no self-awareness whatsoever.

Some people stan a character who has no self-awareness or any remorse and it shows.

And I’m writing this with gritted teeth tbh, because I’m mad.

Oy. I remember when Grant put his number out there by accident forever ago & had to quickly delete it b/c so many people were calling him apparently.
