#again DO NOT start discourse in my inbox this is a threat (and also a plead)

[lemotmo]

The thing is Tommy is not that important of a character to have this much discourse around. Apart from being bucks LI there is no character development, no charisma nothing (also I am just not going to bring up his past in begins episodes). Even that relationship was not developed at all, there is Eddie everywhere in that relationship from start to end and yet we have this much discourse surrounding that character.

I just wish Tim found some other way to set up Buddie instead to get this character back. I know plot wise makes sense but still he knows how toxic fandom became after that character came back, he himself commented and yet he bought him back. Again we have to put up with that nonsense.

Yeah, I do agree with you Nonny. The atmosphere in the 911 fandom was improving so much right before 8b, because a lot of the discourse had died down. But now their hopes have been rekindled. I don't know why, because the future of BT looks very bleak and extremely non-existent at this point. But whatever. 🤷‍♀️ I am so past trying to understand these people.

It's mainly exhausting, because you block as many of them as you can. You make sure to never venture into the wrong tag. You block them on other social media, like Twitter and Instagram, but some of them still manage to fall between the cracks (or create new accounts over and over again 🙄) and fill your dash, inbox or comment section with complete nonsense, while it's clear for everyone else from the 911 fandom and most of the GA that Buddie is in the works.

I try so hard to avoid any confrontation as well. I am no longer interested in any kind of discussion with these people. I just avoid them, because I want to happily ship Buddie without any interruptions. We are finally getting canon Buddie. I don't want to miss a second of this and I just want to geek out about our ship going canon. That's it. That's the whole reason of why I'm here.

I used to think differently about this, waaay back in the beginning after BT had happened. But as soon as I started criticizing anything about BT and T in particular I got labeled 'homophobic' and I received death threats. Then they went completely off the rails with those false accusations and the one thing I learned from all of that?

Ignore, block and delete every single BT related topic that irks you. Sometimes I come across something innocent, like a beautifully made piece of fanart and I don't mind that. I do mind the people dropping into my inbox to tell me that I am delusional, that I seem to be watching another show and that I'm grasping at straws. So yeah...

Ignore, block, delete and simply move on as if nothing has happened. That is the one thing that is most effective against this kind of harassment and/or bullying.

Anyway...

#Buddieendgame everyone! 😏🤭🙂‍↕️

hey, i'm new to cr fandom and wasn't there when c2 was airing, may i ask out of curiosity what was the fandom's problem with its ending?

i want to start by saying this post is meant as a personal memory and not an incitement of any discourse. i do not want a lot of asks or replies or anything about this if i can help it. i would also politely ask that no one reblog this as i really just. dont want attention about this when ive discussed it to death on twitter. i also apologize for not having screenshots but i truly cannot bring myself to wade through that again. it was bad enough i still have nightmares about it.

basically, about 3 eps before c2's end, matt clarified on twitter the campaign was coming to a close, and that. did not go well. you see, folk (myself included, though i wasnt part of the following clown show) were very sure c2 would continue a while. it felt unfinished as the empire/trent had to be taken down, and for some of us ludinus was clearly the big bad, etc. so this was incredibly jarring to a lot of folk. and with that came anger. a lot of critique came down to fear of things being rushed, a lack of closure, claims of extreme neoliberialism due to not taking down the empire (i could write an essay on and cite multiple leftist activists who have stated c2 is truthful to the activist tale, not neoliberalism, and also how c3 deconstructs beau & caleb's actions, but everyone is allowed to have their own opinion on it), and that if shadowgast did not fuck in this short timespan the fans were going to kill liam & matt. and threats of killing were the least of what ensued. im just gonna put a tw here for discussion of extreme harrassment and even threat of necrophilia/rape:

people were. atrocious. beyond atrocious. know why 4sd/a lot of q&a events of theirs for a while had no fan questions? partially bc fans were frankly terrible at asking non-ship questions on talks machina, but mainly because folk FILLED their inboxes with insults (and a twitter account was made of screenshots bragging about it) that only the crew would get to filter out, not the cast. know why dani was terrified to show her face on 4sd for a bit? c2 fans would not let up on how it was her cishet fault fjorjester happened. people thought the solution to alleged neoliberalism was to therefore @ travis saying they would defile his veteran fathers corpse. if there was any solid discussion critiquing c2 happening, it was so drowned that actors who had nothing to do with the show told cr fans to stay away if that was how they treated their favorite creators wanting a break. it really didnt help that a certain disgraced talks machina host was firing potshots on twitter when the cast seemed to be just trying to take it all in, so more discourse was kicked up from him. in general besides all of that, you had the average death & even a few rape threats you would expect from the pits of fan entitlement. the way they were hardly the most notable of the insults hurled their way still rattles the mind. and thats just what i saw. my friends have claimed to have seen worse, but if we can help it we dont discuss it in detail, it's that bad. like i said, any idea of an actual conversation about c2 and how someone felt about it from an analysis perspective was not even a drop in the bucket; there was no actual discourse but rather spitting hatred pouring over that mistook personal grievances for excuses to mistreat quite literally anyone around them who didnt agree that threatening to defile someone was funny bittersweet revenge.

the thing is, after the c2 finale happened? i mean, a lot of folk didnt originally like it (i think it's generally pretty well liked now, and i enjoy it), but it wrapped up a lot of issues pretty well. all that terror & terrorizing over a fictional story was really for nothing. and even if it had ended undebateably badly did anything warrant that fallout?

there are of course a few other factors that seperate cast from fandom now. laura also got innumerable threats from tlou fans for playing some antagonist character, twitter is a dysfunctional shithole, and it's just rational the more popular you get to not be buddy-buddy with fans. but that was. a Time, for sure. c3 is a decent campaign but im far from the first person to note that many of its traits are set in trying to find vox machina's fixed story beats so no story beat is left "unturned" and being as un-m9-like as possible, even when they love the m9. a lot of the worst m9 fans now who harrass other campaign enjoyers and lament c2 being "an unloved middle child" are folk who never left the bitterness they held in that time. for as much discourse as c3 has kicked up i really dont think any of it compares to the sheer scale of what happened late may 2021, and im hoping with all my heart it never does reach that level ever again (i think c3 has a slightly smaller (at least online) fanbase compared to c2, and isnt marked by a pandemic hiatus, so hopefully that means something).

i hope i answered your question. i really hate remembering this time but sometimes i think it should be remembered so folk know what the cost of extreme parasociality is. the distance the cast has from fans now is not only earned but maybe should have always been there, so things never evolved to that extremity. but now it's done and gone. i envy people who watch cr on their own merits and didn't get sucked into twitter at the time; it has been fascinating watching folk say they love the travelercon/aeor arcs and the ending. rewatching later c2 really emphasizes how many complaints hinged on extremely online & parasocial headspaces - you definitely wont hear anyone nowadays say liam is a biphobic cishet abusing matt by not making caleb kiss essek yet. i hope new fans have a better time than we did. oh - and get off twitter.

[bi-sapphics]

sapphics who are both bi4bi & bi4les together are doing it right, actually. so are those who are both les4les and les4bi at the same time.

date sapphics. any sapphics. we're not picky. we're based and big-brained.

[zeroducks-2]

Man I am so tired of people whose DNI lists include some trait of mine interacting with/following my stuff it’s like having to keep dragging someone’s damn dog out of my yard ‘cause they ain’t bothered to put a fence around theirs. None of these damn puritans takes any responsibility for their own damn lives.

I know anon. It feels like they do it on purpose. I had to block A LOT of people who followed me despite having a big fat "PROSHITTERS DNI" or "BATCEST BLOCKED ON SIGHT" in their bio or intro posts, it's not even funny.

It's already hard with the other way around, with having to check blogs' intro posts and DNIs if I want to follow someone, because it really does happen a lot that they don't want "people like me" in their followers count, and I want to respect that. There's one Batman blog in particular that I have been following for idk around a year? And recently I saw a post of theirs which vehemently told their followers to fuck off if they liked batcest or something along those lines. Again I respected that and fucked off, despite being just a silent follower and not having ever interacted with them.

Add on top of this the fact that antis often follow you, and if you're not careful to block them asap they will also send you hate (according to my personal experience at least) once they realize you are a "nasty proshitter". To those folks that diminish this issue and paint the situation in the light of "both sides are exaggerating", I say, do you realize that these guys send people insults and death threats? That if you're not careful as a creator you might wake up one day with 200 hate notifications in your inbox?

And yes, it does feel like some of them do not take responsibility for their own lives, and in some cases it's because it's not true that they don't want "proshippers" to interact with them - they even get pissed when their DNIs get religiously respected! - they want to pick a fight and play the part of the "concerned for the children", pearl-clutchy angel of righteousness while telling artists and writers to kill themselves over an artwork they consider immoral. That's how they get their emotional supply, and that's why I immediately block them if I see them following me: either they want to pick a fight and that is why they followed me, or they didn't realize what they were doing and they WILL get triggered over my content, so I'm doing both them and myself a favor.

But yes, it is tiring and very frustrating. I started this blog out wanting nothing to do with fandom discourse and the likes, but it kind of slaps you in the face whether you want to deal with it or not, doesn't it. Especially if you are a creator but even if you're just sitting there reblogging and commenting the things you like.

armed detective agency with tumblr

-atsushi reblogs cute aesthetics, and dips his toes into academia. writes massive rambles in the tags, and later starts reblogging positivity posts and recovery tips. he’s got a couple mutuals he talks with a lot, and goes by the handle “CatSushi”, or just sushi. at one point, he mentions adopting a little sister, and makes small updates with her permission. stuff like “my sister made a lot of progress today in accepting that a traumatic event wasn’t her fault; i’m so proud of her you guys. she looks so much happier” or “guys my sister is the best! i came back from working late today and she made me a snack”. Kyouka knows about his tumblr, and occasionally asks how the ‘mutuals’ are doing, or makes art and wants atsushi to share it. Atsushi refers to her by K, to keep her privacy, but eventually the mutuals start calling her kitten and it sticks. he’s got a treasured piece of art submitted to him that illustrates him and kyouka as a lanky silver tabby and a fluffy black kitten with sharp claws.

-kunikida has a studyblr, absolutely. he also tends to get into discourse quite a bit, and is always looking to improve his views. his most popular post is a drunken 3 am shitpost saying “wait what the fuck sexual attraction is real? what the fuck”, to which the popular blog aroace-recruitment-station replied “we’ve got another one, lads” and it sort of blew up. he has complicated feelings on the porn ban, as he believes sex work shouldn’t exist in a perfect world, but the workers absolutely deserve to be protected from exploitation. (keep in mind that his views don’t reflect mine, and are influenced by his job and orientation)

-yosano has a blog originally created to document her recovery and vent, as she had a very long journey of recovery. she’s got a combination of “recovery is not linear and i’m so proud of you” aesthetics and “eldest daughter syndrome (gender neutral) (only child)” with a massive rant in the tags where she breaks down crying and recounts the trauma her parents gave her. she gives everyone in her life nicknames when talking about them online, such as “cat dad” “grey-ace detective” and “dumbass thot (affectionate)”

-dazai just makes incomprehensible shitposts. “just saw my ex again; i’d say he misses me but i’m pretty great at dodging.” “fuckign rats. hate them. set my cat and dog loose to get rid of it but they keep fighting each other.” “bi and high and ready to die but got the wrongsf snmuchsrooomsasdnjkjjsfd 97834”. the definition of a cryptid. the thing is, he’s never lied on there, but people assume he’s just making shit up. his url is something about amorous feelings for mothman because he thinks it’s funny.

-fukuzawa follows the cat cosplay blog exclusively. 

-ranpo has figured out how to code his blog so well that no one knows what the fuck is going on. he broke the site and the tumblr moderators consider him a threat. he hasn’t been active in seven years because he binged heritage posts in a day and then got bored. attempting to reblog one of his posts will give you a scarily accurate psychological analysis based on your fandoms, sent to your inbox and formatted perfectly well and much longer than is permitted.

By no means do I want to invite discourse onto your blog, so please do not feel at all obligated to answer, but I was wondering what you thought of the titular happy ending. Obviously, it's sparked a lot of debate, and your takes are always so compassionate and articulate and insightful. Have a lovely evening regardless, and thank you for everything you've contributed to this fandom!

a few things to start… first of all, thank you for asking this in such a non-confrontational way. i haven’t seen much of whatever debates are happening as most of it has managed to stay out of my inbox this time thankfully (i hope i’m not jinxing myself by responding to this lol), though i feel like i can assume the shape of some of the broad strokes of it. i say that just to mean that this shouldn’t be taken in any way as a response to any particular posts/people but just as my general thoughts on the ep. and of course, as i always try to remind everyone, my opinion certainly isn’t the only one that matters, and everyone is entitled to feel however they feel about this (or any other) plot line on the show. i’m certainly not the be-all, end-all of schitt’s creek opinions, nor do i want to be.

anyway, let’s talk about the happy ending…

the first thing i do any time that there’s something on the show that seems to throw people off in some way is to take a step back and try to think about what that particular scene/plot was trying to accomplish. and honestly, the first goal of the show is always that it wants to make you laugh. it’s a comedy. while it means a lot to those of us who love it so deeply and have watched it so carefully, and while there are certainly moments–more and more frequently throughout the years–of great depth and heart and drama, it is still at its core a comedy, and some scenes are really just meant to be a laugh and not hold some kind of earth-shatteringly deep revelation, and i honestly think this is one of them. 

i mentioned in some of my speculation earlier this season that i thought we (def including myself there) were in danger of trying to connect too many plots in a way that the show historically hasn’t really done, and i think that some of the negative reactions to this may be the same kind of thing, that we sometimes take things too seriously on a show where historically most of the plots of most of the eps aren’t really meant to be that serious. think about “love letters” for instance. so many people were (and still are) upset about how patrick reacts to the robbery, and sure, i get that he could have been nicer and considered that david and stevie didn’t know the robber didn’t actually have a weapon and that they were frightened, etc etc etc. but also, it’s a comedy. it wasn’t supposed to be some kind of treatise on the right and wrong ways to respond to traumatic situations; it was supposed to be funny and that’s that. the characters clearly have moved on by the next time we see them–david doesn’t seem to be harboring some kind of resentment for the way that patrick responded–and we shouldn’t take it any more seriously than they do. 

the show is actually really good at telling us what’s serious and what isn’t, if we just listen to it, and it’s definitely telling us this particular plot isn’t meant to be That Serious. patrick, despite having his understandable initial wtf kind of moment about it, has already by the end of the scene accepted that it was a miscommunication (and one of his own making at that–i mean he does leave the cash and the note, plus he tells david specifically before he leaves that “it’s all taken care of and i’ve told them we need you calm today, so just let them do their job,” so he recognizes once he starts thinking about it just how david could have thought this was what he intended to happen), and he’s already thinking about how some day down the road it’s just going to be yet another story that’s part of their history. he’s clearly still excited and happy when we get to the wedding. he obviously still chooses to marry david that day. so while any of us personally may have reacted differently in this situation, the show is telling us that patrick ultimately isn’t particularly bothered by what happened, that this isn’t supposed to be taken as some kind of serious, make-or-break moment in their relationship. it’s really just supposed to be funny–something to help break up the heavier emotions of the episode. now we may personally disagree on whether or not we actually find it funny, but that seems to be most of the intent either way.

if you do want to take it somewhat more seriously though (because i mean that’s what we do in fandom right? lolol), i think you have to look at it in the context of what this season has been trying to accomplish with their relationship. season 4 is all about those tentative first steps of falling in love. season 5 builds on that to give us all these hallmark relationship moments. season 6 then lets us see what life looks like when the romance isn’t quite as new, when you’ve found enough safety in each other to allow yourself to be seen at less than your best, to make mistakes, to disagree, to explore, to fight when you need to, to know that you can get it wrong sometimes because your partner will always be there to catch you if you fall, because you’ll fall together and pick each other back up, again and again. that’s what love looks like long-term. that’s what marriage looks like. and that’s what this season has given us a taste of.

for example, david, though he’s embarrassed by The Incident, still comes back to patrick’s apartment at the end of the day, allowing himself to be more fully seen (and thus more fully loved) in the light of patrick’s understanding. patrick, who we know has struggled with always trying to make himself be the person other people want him to be–the perfect boyfriend, the perfect son–lets himself crack open a bit, allowing those truer, messier emotions to spill out, letting david actually see his frustration about the spray tan because he knows by now that it won’t scare him away. in these ways and more, season 6 is about how love goes beyond romance, how it builds a space where we can be our true selves, how there’s a stability in that which takes time for you to build together. if something like this had happened earlier on in their relationship, i could see it being A Big Obstacle for them, but at this point, it’s barely even a bump in the road, already well on its way to being a funny anecdote they’ll trot out years on down the road, when they’ve both had a bit too much wine at one of their monthly dinner parties with their friends, the two of them talking over each other as they compete to tell it better. they’re solid enough that a miscommunication like this isn’t going to derail them. 

like dan said to entertainment weekly, their relationship is “founded on something much deeper, much more substantial, much more respectful… their sex life [is not] something that is always what’s defining loyalty in their lives.” and while that may not be how some of us feel about our own sex lives and the role of sex as it relates to loyalty or intimacy within our own relationships, it is pretty clear at this point that for david and patrick, sex can just be sex sometimes. they were obviously interested in entertaining the possibility of a threesome with jake earlier this season, and as david points out in that episode, jake is the perfect candidate for something like that because there will be no emotional intimacy tied to it with him. the same thing goes here. there is no threat to the intimacy and stability of david and patrick’s relationship because of this mishap, so ultimately it’s something that’s easy for both of them to just wave away.

and that’s really what i feel like a lot of the disagreement probably comes down to at the end of the day, too–for a lot of us, this wouldn’t be so easy to wave away. we all have our own lenses through which we view the world, which means that when we see other people’s relationships, fictional or not, we tend to judge them based on our own standards. and while that certainly might mean that whatever is happening may not be something we want in our own relationships, it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily wrong for whomever is actually in them. it’s tempting to put our own views of sexuality, loyalty, monogamy, happiness, whatever onto david and patrick’s relationship, but at the end of the day, what actually matters is how they view their own relationship, and the show is telling us that they’re both happy with exactly where they are. so many of us see something of ourselves in one or both of them, and so seeing them make a choice that we ourselves might not make can be a hard thing to reconcile, but it still doesn’t make it the wrong choice for them. 

ultimately if david and patrick both are clearly happy in their relationship and don’t view this as a big deal, who am i to say otherwise?

Welcome to my brain (non-fandom related edition)

Hey there! This is a personal side blog for my main @fandomblr, mostly cause I’m tired of seeing non-fandom related posts and not being able to reblog them cause my main is a fandom blog. I probably will be more active on main but here I’ll reblog (and occasionally make my own original posts) content related to the LGBTQIA community, social justice, feminism, BLM, race, culture, and ethnicity, disability, neurodivergency, mental health, and anything else that isn’t fandom related. So here’s a few things about me:

My name is Adrián, I use he/him/they/thempronouns. Specifically they/them are okay too but I prefer he/him better.

I’m 20 years old and currently a college student, so once my classes start you’ll see me interact significantly less on my blog.

I’m a 1.5 gen Mexican American immigrant, my parents had me born here on accident and then went back to Mexico City, where I was raised for twelve years until I came back to the US. I’ve been living in the US for eight years now.

I’m physically disabled and wear a foot brace irl and I’m neurodiverse (OCD, autistic, diagnosed with depression but working on it)

I’m a transmasc non-binary trans guy (my specific label is genderfaun) that is also gray-asexual and aroflux biromantic.

I’ve had multiple Tumblrs before that I deleted due to the fact that I was often harassed and cyberbullied anonymously and on my posts by transmeds, TERFS, and ace/aro exclusionists for being vocal on trans and ace discourse, so I ask that these people do not interact.

I’m Mexican so I’m a native Spanish speaker, so feel free to interact with me in español. También voy a reblogear posts en español de vez en cuando si encuentro algunos.

Speaking of discourse, I may reblog some stuff about trans and ace discourse but I’m gonna try to avoid making original posts myself cause again, don’t want to get death threats and slurs on my inbox and in my posts. I was literally targeted by neo-Nazis on this site for being openly LGBT and Mexican soooo yeahh we’re trying to avoid that again. Anyways, here are some of my beliefs:

You don’t need gender dysphoria (discomfort that comes from gender incongruence) to be trans, all you need is gender incongruence (the disconnect between your gender identity and your assigned sex at birth)

Ace and aro people belong in LGBTQIA spaces. Yes, even if they are straight and cisgender.

Trans women are women, period. I’m done being harassed by TERFS on this site, if you’re a TERF or a radfem you get blocked on sight.

Black Lives Matter, even if your feed is back to normal. In the words of Lin-Manuel Miranda, “this is not a moment, it’s the movement.”

Neopronouns and lesser known specific “MOGAI” labels don’t hurt anyone and are valid (few exceptions are with identities made up by trolls like ACAB/ACABself pronouns).

As a pale Latino I have a lot of white privilege because of my skin tone. That doesn’t mean I don’t experience oppression for my ethnicity; I still experience xenophobia and occasional racism once people find out I’m from Mexico. But I have a lot of privilege that BIPOC people do not have, especially my brown and Afro-Latino siblings. So I do my best to be an ally to people of color and learn about anti-racism.

I’m a male feminist, aka I believe all genders are equal (yes ofc I believe in non-binary genders, I myself am non-binary)

That’s about it for my beliefs, so yeah! Feel free to follow, submit posts, send asks on and off anon (but if I start getting lots of anon hate again then I’ll turn it off) or DM me. And again, transmeds, TERFs, and ace/aro exclusionists do not fucking interact. If you are any of these you will be blocked on sight.

[thiefs-end]

you making fun of aces as if you didn’t id as ace before. just a quick search on your blog shows that 🤥 what are you trying to gain

this is the last thing i’ll say on the asexy discourse because it’s boring and y’all know what i think already, it’s even in my about. stop trying to bring up ace discourse again, we let it die in 2015. anyhow i’ll just reply to some of the occurring statements in my inbox.

i id’d as asexual for almost 4 years. i always struggled with my sexuality, it was super hard for me to find a label that fit because i was part of mogai tumblr and i believed that every part of my attraction needed its own label.

i was never sexually attracted to men, but i was into them romantically. however, i didn’t mind having sex with them, it wasn’t like repulsive or anything. but when it came to women, i was into everything, both romantically and sexually.

so i was venting about my frustration and confusion to an older girl on her (she was asexual). she eventually convinced me that i was trying to compensate for my lack of sexual attraction to men by tricking myself into thinking i was into women instead. she said it’s because we live in a society that was so sex obsessed that we can’t imagine ourselves not being sexually attracted to someone. she also said the way i found women attractive was normal and that everyone felt that way. i was young so it made a lot of sense to me. eventually i started identifying as a heteroromantic asexual.

i was very open about it, both online and irl. my family and friends all knew about it, and yea they didn’t really understand it but they didn’t really care. not even ONCE did i face threats or any form of discrimination for my “sexuality”. and keep in mind that i’m a middle eastern muslim, and my community is as close minded as they get.

anyhow, i grew up, started reading more about lgbt history and learning more about attraction. soon i learned that your sexuality isn’t about the AMOUNT of attraction you experience but about WHO you’re attracted to. because EVERYONE experiences attraction differently, and if we had a label for every way people experienced attraction we’d have over 7 billion sexualities. so i finally accepted myself, got over my internalised homophobia and started identifying as a bisexual.

i cant come out irl unless i plan on ruining my whole life and losing my family and community. so i will probably be in the closet until the day i die.

this whole journey has been very painful to me and i suffered a lot mentally because i just wanted to know who i was. and now that i do, and i know the difference between the experiences of id’ing as a hetace vs experiencing sga. i know what i’m talking about.

while i do make fun of aceys, i still believe it’s a valid identity and y’all deserve a community but the lgbt one isn’t for you. and this is the hill i will die on. now stop sending me asks about this. you’re ugly, i will k1ll you, give me $200.

[blueberryroses]

I’m highly disturbed by the concept of the aphobe blocklist

As someone who supports asexuals/aromantics, it’s mildly disgusting to hear that someone even found 25k people hateful enough to be on the blocklist. Despite that, there’s also the issue that people are actually joking around and finding it something to strive to be on. I understand that you all find it funny and a joke, but to ask to be on that list means that you are asking to be seen as a hateful, arrogant prick. The complete disrespect here is overwhelming.

I understand that this past year has been full of controversy on the subject. The issue of asexuals/aromantics belonging in the lgbt community is well debated. So the first point I’d like to make is that each person who is still expressing an intense hatred for asexuals and still getting into discourse about it is either severely behind on trends, or simply obsessed with the subject. If you’re still harassing ace blogs, you’re a fairly trashy person. This may have been okay to debate during pride month, but almost half a year after? I think you’re just trying to either start drama or seek attention.

Another point of mine is that harassing asexuals is shitty. They understood quite well when the entire lgbt community came about and screamed for them to never communicate with them again, to never even try to identify as lgbt. They ran off and the allies had to defend them because if you were ace and said you were lgbt, you promptly got 101 anons in your inbox either sending you death threats or telling you to kill yourself. Both of which, might I add, are considered cyber bullying and if they were to kill themselves, you would be held responsible by the law for their death. Your joke is not a joke to them. But the mere concept that tumblr users still exist, holding an immense hate in their heart for aces even after all the time passed, even when aces have stepped away and not even touched the lgbt community, has me struggling to understand why anyone would still be doing this. Why would you still hate them, when they don’t want to even interact for fear of being attacked? Why would you hate them after everything?

The tumblr list compiled of “aphobes” was in fact incorrect. However, each and every person mocking it, if you were not involved in the list? You’re terrible for asking to be on it. You’re practically putting yourself out there to be labeled as a shitty individual. Not to mention that you feel the need to still keep up on the drama around it when it doesn’t involve you.

The list was a shitty idea, yes. The creator has a bad background and was already crap. But the idea of it was great. Maybe not on such a large scale, but it was still a good concept. For an ace person to be able to have a full list of blogs to block so that they didn’t have to see hatred for them on their dash? That’s a great idea. The list itself in actuality was pure shit, but maybe had it been handled by someone else, it may have gone much more smoothly.

I don’t approve of the list. It’s shitty. Aces and allies themselves were included. The OP is a shitbag, I’m aware. It was terrible and I fully understand that it was full of incorrect urls for the concept present. This, however, doesn’t exclude you all from also being shitty for everything that’s gone on because of it.

Furthermore, blogs interacting with this, especially big blogs that think this was a hilarious concept and that the harassment ace people have been facing by you slimy people was the funniest joke of the year, well I’ve got some news. Every blog interacting with this, every big blog or mini side blog, you’re all the laughing stock of the rest of tumblr. You think that harassment and trying to be considered one is hilarious? We think atrocities acting like that is hilarious.

So go ahead and act like fools, present yourself as people with hostility and contempt in your hearts as you hide behind anon messages. Thanks for the shitshow to laugh at.

Edit:

There’s a comment on here saying that I’m somehow comparing the terrible suffering of the lgbt community to the harassment the aces are facing these past few months.

It in no way compares. I never said it did. I would never jump to that, because homophobia and transphobia will never compare to ace harassment. Anyone who does think that either they both suffered the same or that aces suffered more is someone I pity. You’d truly have to live in a bubble and have absolutely no lgbt or ally interaction to think that.

I do ask that you all read my post before jumping to the comments. Thanks for jumping to opinions but when it’s something that I didn’t even remotely come close to writing about, I think it’s time you reread the post.
