Fandom Problem #14,659:

That moment when someone in your fandom has a take you 100% agree with ... but they phrase it in such a condescending, aggressive manner you can't help but dislike them anyhow.

Fandom Problem #14,722:

I think we need to get rid of the phrase "Are the straights OK?"

Fandom Problem #14,729:

The way Transphobe is being thrown around. If choosing not to believe in the popular trans headcanon, if wanting to write mpreg but not having trans characters involved, if not wanting to get involved in trans discourse in fandoms make me a transphobe, then so be it. If you're going to call me a transphobe for something I didn't even say, then I'm a transphobe. If writing about a trans character, only to write them "wrong", makes me a transphobe, fine. If choosing not to engage in that part of the fandom, if wishing to write about a cis character, if blocking people because they are rabid and aggressive about their trans headcanons make me a transphobe, then you know what, I'm going to wear a fucking badge stating as such.

I'm sick and tired of walking around on eggshells. You want transphobes? Then keep on the harassing campaign.

I know for certain I'll have commentors calling me a transphobe for not putting up with the abuse. That I'm being cruel to actual trans-people for not accepting the trans headcanons. I know for certain I will have commentors dismissing everything I say. I should just suck it up, buttercup. It's for the greater good. And obviously, since I have such "a problem with trans characters, then I deserve the abuse."

No. No, I don't think I will put up with this bullshit. In fact, I will actively ensure that I have nothing to do with any kind of trans headcanon. I will not read works involving trans characters. I will purposely turn all my own trans characters cis because I want absolutely nothing to do with that side of the fandom. Not even for my own creativity or interests. I will actively limit myself because fuck you.

Oh, I should just give these people the finger and do what I want? Of course, just let me ignore the constant barrage of hate comments and harassment because I'm not doing as I'm told. It's good and healthy.

Aside from the other controversies associated with JK Rowling, she also has a really bad tendency to count EVERYTHING as canon.

She tried to write in an explanation for why the kids wear "muggle clothes" instead of their uniforms in the films when they don't do so in the books. She regularly references things that only happened in the movies, even if they CONTRADICT the book. Don't get me started on her declaring Cursed Child as canon despite it contradicting ALL the lore and making the characters extremely OOC. And then Fantastic Beasts contradicted her previous writings entirely!

What is with so many writers these days thinking you have to make a character an absolute jackass to make them "strong"?!

You don't have to lack compassion to be strong. Compassion IS A STRENGTH!

But when the topic is black men falsely accused of sexual crimes by white women (objectively a smaller percentage of all men), suddenly it's a common threat and every black man needs to be wary. Suddenly you cant blindly trust a woman's words. Suddenly false accusations/imprisonment isnt worth it.

some person immediately went into a whole thing about how false rape accusations aren't really a thing and how many rape kits go untested and bla bla bla.

And immediately going 'this is because of racism! We know this because it's what we've been saying the whole time! The fanbase are all bigots because they don't want to watch the nonsense we're putting out!'

But this was a show originally meant to be a Historical Drama combined with Sci-fi and aimed towards kids and teens. So let me ask you this. Is the show TODAY meant for kids and teans?

And that's by comparison to classic Russel T. "geriatric catgirl lesbians" Davies.

What?
