#be soooo liberal with filtering and blocking.

[ef-1]

Sending this to you specifically because I feel like you understand it best and you never shy away from calling Daniel out. Not an apologist for rich men, every single one of them is fucked up and has done fucked up shit. Would never defend Daniel from things he deserves to be criticized for, but so much of the uhhh 'dialogue' right now is just hate wanking lol. There is this blog who genuinely made a post celebrating that she would have never been able to tag Daniel hate in the past because he was too popular and she willingly (?!) admitted she regularly searches him up to look for hate and 'smile' LMAO? We're not even doing the ole' moralising our hatred thing now? Allow it 😭

1. where are you fucking finding these people I just screamed.

2. That one derek pope lyric

What was your first blog / URL?

Do you still have your first blog / URL?

What are things that you don't wish to see on here?

my first rp blog was for miss tina cohen-chang from glee and i cannot for the life of me remember the url, but it was a fun time for the 14 year old tsari. prior to that i wrote on forums and chatzy. ollld school.

i do not still have that first blog, but THIS one (or the main to tis sideblog, which is taliaromanova) is my longest lasting. 2012-2025 and the party keeps going.

there is soooo much i don't wish to see so i block and filter LIBERALLY. my most consistent pet peeve is "x reader" shit clogging main tags. please stop. please. i just want to see pictures.

@eldestoftenn, questions for the mun.

[blorbocedes]

please give tips on how to grow thicker skin as a(n alleged) villain fucker... saw something the other day going "so-and-so and their [insert insulting string of words i've genuinely blocked out of my head ha ha] fans are [redacted]" and i've just been going back to it in my head like damn.... i genuinely just found this man hot.... i'm sorry if that has any bearing on my moral leanings.... this is the interwebs and even worse the Hell Site. please help i've seen you're one of the more steadfast people here on Liking Villain(ised) Characters (because lbr those are all characters of the drivers/etc framed by media)

first of all don't go on f1 twitter. the hivemind is amplified and everyone follows and repeats and regurgitates popular opinion and therefore if you like X it means you're evil and reflects your morality as a person 😶

curate your spaceeee. you don't need to participate in wider fandom if they make you feel bad or just aren't to your interests. fandom can be you and 3 friends. i do understand the pressure to fit in esp in a fandom as large as f1, but always put your own peace of mind first. unfollow/mute/filter tag/block LIBERALLY. hate your blorbo? blocked. annoying opinion blocked. fandom is supposed to be Fun, if it sucks hit da bricks!!!

i promise there's someone for everyone. maybe ted kravitz' dad bod gets you 😮‍💨😮‍💨 pfft there's like 5 of those on my dash at any given moment. my wife is universally cancelled and yet we're 6 whole nicologists strong here ��✊

don't try to argue or fight even to defend your blorbo, don't look up what others are saying about him cause it'll inevitably make you feel bad. it's digital self harm ☹️ instead remember most people are neutral ab any given driver/f1 person and it's only the loudest people you're seeing. instead be unapologetic about enjoying your blorbo, don't be embarazzed. soooo many people have told me they hated max/nico but came to enjoy/be neutral about them bc I'm so enthusiastic about it. how can we lose when we're so sincere!!!

don't feel bad about being sensitive. I've been told I have the skin of a rhino, and I feel bad all the time!!! but ultimately, fandom is a space to have fun and you get to choose what you're expending your energy over. important to also accept that it's a sport, haterism is integral! I'M a hater! someone's gonna hate your blorbo/look down at you for it, but you can't worry about what an imaginary person is thinking about you.

and finally, this is a sport for money laundering and sponsoring shady ass corporations and greenwashing the biggest polluters on the planet (hi shell...), there is NO morally perfect person, and even the best of them are self admitted hypocrites and tax evaders. we're ALL rooting for the villains here.

1, 4, 11 and 13 for the fandom asks. Any fandom, whichever fits best ^_^

1. the character everyone gets wrong

AYLA CHRONO TRIGGER. I KNOW PEOPLE ARE GREAT WITH HER IN MY LITTLE NICHE BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE SEEN HER REDUCED TO 'HOT AND DUMB' IS ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she's the leader of her people, talking to AND effectively communicating with people from the future about concepts she's never encountered before now AND SHE'S DOING THIS ALL IN A SECOND LANGUAGE. she is very strong and capable and has many moments throughout the game where she says some pretty profound and inspiring stuff, but because she speaks a little differently and has a sexed up design, she's just for looking at apparently 🙄🙄 God forbid a woman be hot AND clever

(^that goes for all hot and clever ladies in media for me, I just feel particularly butt hurt about ayla)

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

Uhh... I block pretty liberally and just try to avoid drama in public if I can, but usually I unfollow if my dash was getting clogged with shit. The only example that comes to mind isn't a fandom one but I blocked someone once because they were being way too American for me (I know I joke around in varying degrees about Americans, but this was like. Too much about gun bullshit and displaying closed mindsets to other cultures.. No thank youuuuu)

11. number of fandom-related words you've filtered

Dunno cause I lost my main 😭

I know I filtered dead poets society cause I really don't give a shit about that film, ever since we had to watch it in class lol

I probably had most Marvel stuff filtered too I think, but otherwise I think it was just flashing gifs and insects and stuff that I don't really want to see in general

13. worst blorboficiation

Uhhhh... This is hard to think of. I generally try to avoid fandom takes I don't vibe with and my brain is slow today so ummmmmm

I'm just gonna say the way Capcom have treated their main resi characters LMAO. Especially the Redfield siblings... Like dude they're the best how do you fuck them up!? Chris isn't stupid by any means but throughout the series he just gets worse and worse and makes weird decisions that don't even feel plausible from a character flaw standpoint. He was done fucking dirty in re6 and then re7/8 was just. What the hell. 7 didn't look right but whatever, 8 he looked SOOOO FINE but acted BADLY. (I LOVE re8 but I.... Kinda hate most the story decisions LMAO)

AND CLAIRE!!!????? I LOVE CLAIRE SO MUCH AND THEY DID WEIRD STUFF TO HER :''''(

she's a capable, if a little hot headed, badass that is VERY FUCKING CLEVER. I really enjoyed seeing her in re2r and and cv, but then in rev2 that was straight up not Claire? Like, you can't tell me that she suddenly lost her ability to talk to children like humans when she helped Sherry in re2. She felt flanderised in the worst sense and the game left me feeling very frustrated at a lot of character points. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE FILM/TV PERIPHERALS. I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT BUT BASICALLY. INTO DARKNESS WAS A CRIME AGAINST CLAIRE CAUSE SHE NOT ONLY HAD THE MORE INTERESTING PLOT POINTS TO FOLLOW, BUT WAS DEPICTED SO POORLY AND EVEN MADE INTO A WEIRD DAMSEL IN DISTRESS FOR LEON... SHE WAS SHAFTED SO HARD JUST FOR LEON TO TAKE CENTRE STAGE (BUT EVEN THAT FUCKED LEON OVER A LOT TOO TBH) and I'll refrain from the other times she's appeared in movies cause it's been a while since I watched any and I don't wanna go on too long into incoherency haha

I’m a hate-reader. And tumblr is my happy place.

In the years of 2009 to 2012 I lived in my own little bubble. I was very active various social platforms, especially twitter, deviantart and tumblr. I didn’t go on facebook. I didn’t read any news on- or offline. I didn’t read any website, that featured some form of political or controversial content of any kind. Instead I obsessed over art and music and tv shows. I created like crazy. I was in a multi-coloured-fandom-filter-bubble and I have never been happier in my life (Ignorance is bliss, they say).

Then in 2012 I started to read jezebel.com, mainly because I loved their snarky articles on women’s issues I could relate to, while tumblr slowly faded away. This opened the door for all the crazy bullshit that’s out there online. I started to read the comments sections to articles on topics like pro-choice, US-abortion-laws (I’m European, but this really got to me), anti-vaxxers, misogyny, etc and I got addicted to it. MRA topics completely devoured me for hours and hours. I read through comment sections, disgusted and shocked by all the hate I came across. What a sad development it is, when standing up for social justice is considered a bad trait. After years in my bubble this felt like a hit in the face with a dirty shovel.

All this sparked my interest for politics again, on a local and global level and just in time, if you ask me. The Syrian war and the related refugee crisis changed the political climate in Germany quite a bit. Alt right parties are on the rise all over Europe and suddenly it seemed like the people I was hate-reading about were right in front of my doorstep. My outlook on the entire world got darker, the trust in my fellow human beings got less and less and there were days I was really miserable. When I watched videos of some alt-right MRA fucknuts (not gonna drop any names, you know the usual suspects) online I felt physically sick and so enraged, that I wanted to see those people dead. Just dead. Gone from this world and all their hate gone with them. I could not fathom their thirst for power and days gone by paired with their complete lack of empathy.

I do not want to be like that. I do not want to imagine people’s violent deaths. I believe thoughts like that poision me. And I need to learn to let go. I need to stop the hate-reading when it gets unhealthy for me.

A couple of weeks ago I started to revive my tumblr blog (a new celebrity crush does wonders for the soul :D) and it may sound dramatic, but it gave me a bit of trust back after just a couple of days. I’m well aware that a tumblr blog is a filter bubble and that you can just block out all the unwanted noise, but it also gave me a bit of perspective. After years of hate-reading you actually start to feel like you are a liberal minority, because the opposing voices are that much louder and obnoxious. They use volume and quantity instead of reason and quality. I felt like every man is a sexist pig, who wants my mouth shut, my rights revoked and my pussy looking like that of an 8-year old. I felt like every second person I see on the street wants refugee camps to burn down and people drowning in the ocean in search for a better life. Rationally thinking I KNOW this isn’t true, but it still feels like it. Tumblr puts things into perspective again. It’s showing me, that there are so soooo many like-minded people out there and I truly believe we are the majority. It’s remarkable to see the same kind of meme or artwork on different platforms. While some posts about feminism for example, spark nothing but hate and ridicule on facebook or 9gag, they are being properly discussed on tumblr (at least amongst the people I follow).

So what do I want to say with this wall o’ text? I guess, thank you? Thank you for all of you and thank you for giving my brain some peace.
