Fandom Problem #15,401:

Tumblr: Hey it's okay if you read fanfics even if the original creator is a horrible disgusting person because you're not actually supporting them, you're supporting a random person who felt like writing something, don't feel guilty, you're not giving the original creator money after all. Make the media your own! We support you! <3

Also Tumblr: Acts like anyone who reads even a sentence of a Harry Potter fic is a horrible, disgusting person who hates trans people and is probably going out harassing/assaulting/killing trans people.

Like I hate JKR as much as the next person and was never really a fan of the series but I'm getting real sick of people acting like someone reading a fanfiction is worshiping the old witch. I've seen trans people called out and told they're 'not actually trans' because they liked the story. I've seen someone doxed and spammed with death threats because they shared a long multi-fandom post that had Harry Potter mentioned in a small section.

I saw someone harass someone over a dark HP fic they had written YEARS BEFORE to cope with trauma because by daring to do that apparently meant they weren't trans but were rather a transphobic, abusive attention whore who deserved being raped.

At some point you've got to take a step back and realise that hey maybe wishing death upon people for feeling nostalgic over something they were a fan of as a KID who didn't know better is possibly stepping over the line juuuussst a little.

love when they refer to vaggi's past in the show

It’s ignorance many times but just as often it’s toxic empathy, where they think that feeling bad enough about a criminals past or rough childhood means that they can be excused for their horrible actions.

I think a lot of it stems from the idea that poverty is the source of crime and if you eliminate poverty then crime will go down, when a lot of times crime drives poverty. Not every, and I would venture to say most, criminals aren’t doing crime to feed their starving families, they’re doing it for personal gain. It’s why rioters and looters steal TV sets and new sneakers instead of food and bottled water.

You have been brainwashed and you don't even know it. Do you have the slightest idea what it feels like to be cut off from the rest of the world? Yet you defend our oppressors.

Where are the "human rights" activists now? Are we not human enough for you?
