HAPPY 12 BIRTHDAY SSO!

Remember when you couldn't buy new horses at all? And that they were all the same model just different colors?

We've come such a long way, and while I'll always have nostalgia for the old SSO I love how much it's grown and all the new stuff that's come out of it!

(seriously, the trailer is so much cheaper now)

My inexplicable obsession with records, VHS tapes, and cassette tapes needs satiated so I'm probably gonna go get some from Vintage Stock at some point.

The Ever-Changing Rules

Me, yesterday: What does the acronym DNI stand for?

Me, today: How does having a list of things you don’t want to interact about enrich your online experience? What’s the point?

Me, tomorrow, probably: Fuck it, I don’t understand technological etiquette in 2021. Let me crawl back under my favorite rock.

an*tis treat shipping like their own lives is somehow accountable to the masses the same way as an influential tv series, like you have to fill certain representation quotas and cannot 'support’ anything that ‘romanticises problematic behaviour’ and quite honestly it seems so exhausting??

i wonder if this is to some extent the consequence of social media in a way. because one distinguishing features that separate the older fandom generation and the younger one is the technological environment we grew up in. The mid 00s is when facebook, twitter, and the modern social media greats were founded, and if you trace back the ages. In contrast to an older crowd who communicated and entered fandom in an age where the difference between the private and public was far more distinct. Our modern day teens grew up in an age where having your private life made public is a foregone conclusion. Its not just the personal lives of celebrities that are topics for public judgement anymore, but anyone and everyone is accountable. Complex backstories, relationships and arguments are distilled into viral call-outs, and clapbacks, snapshots to frozen in time and judged on simplistic moral grounds.

I wonder if the acknowledgement that private citizens are deserving of respect and empathy in a way that is fundamentally different the government and corporate controlled is something that we are losing in this technological age, where we’re increasingly putting more and more of our personal ‘private’ lives into such easily accessible public space.

And perhaps that is something which plays into the psyches of this new wave of cyberbullies? Because to many of them, social media and the simple act of existing comes with certain responsibilities around image and ‘performance’. Instagram has a problem-culture of unattainable aesthetic perfectionism that is widely acknowledged. Tumblr in turn celebrates call-out culture against selected words and actions of corporations, media, and celebrities with its own arsenal of social justice language. To gain social points and popularity in the tumblr era of fandom, being ‘socially aware’ and ‘righteously angry about the correct things’ is almost a must.

And when it comes to tumblr it becomes even harder to distinguish what content is made with the intent of facilitating private personal discussion and what is meant to be taken as a public statement. With circles like Facebook certain levels of respect is a given - as you require a degree of personal familiarity with each other first, respect and empathy is a prerequisite. With twitter - everything is a public statement, because you really can’t have a complex personal discussion in exchanges limited to 140 words. Tumblr is at that awkward intersection between a ‘private’ blogging platform like Livejournal and a public environment like twitter, but there is no ‘mutuals only’ setting. And it seems to me that this an*ti culture has to some extent started in conjunction with a younger generation entering fandom through tumblr for the first time, groomed by a lifetime of ‘public living’, with no consciousness of the ‘private’ that was built up and facilitated by environments such as LJ and DW.

For people who understand the previous era of private intent and distinction, they can read between the lines and understand the nuances of things like, for example, kink. But for a younger generation where everything is public by default... on a website which does not allow you any power to not lead a purely ‘public’ existence... writing an untagged vent post is perhaps by itself an act inviting criticism and dissection.

Food for thought, I guess

When u r trying to explain BBSes & early forums to someone & say “about ten years ago” and then realize...

No...ten years ago was 2006. You’re talking about twenty years ago.

Between reading a bunch of peoples’ creepy stories on Reddit and the assholes having a party right outside the side of the house my room is on, I don’t think I’m going to be getting to sleep for a while.
