So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

I got so fed up being literally pushed around by strangers who either wanted me out of the way and didn’t care whether it would bother me, or assumed they knew where I was going or where I wanted to go without ever asking me, that I requested a model with no handles when it came time to get a ‘chair via the NHS. I’ve never regretted doing it, either.

STOP touching or leaning on wheelchairs without the permission of the person using them!

You have seen more of the shokh [truth] of me than anyone has since…” Kara shook her head now, her eyes suddenly intense, spinning crystals of black and blue-red.

OR OR,

Kara faces the consequences of her actions after defeating Reign.

So, somehow, I made it here. It feels like such a small moment when this fandom is so large and amazing, but it has been world altering for this writer. I have finished this story. I have finished this fic. It feels so unreal to write that. It has taken me years to get this one completed.

I truly never thought I would get here.
