sometimes I'll just see the tip of a drama iceberg passing for a fandom I'm not in where people just complaining about this subgroup of fans who are Doing Things Wrong and I'll go "glad I'm not there but even so maybe we just need to apply more judicious self content regulation?"

#blocking is free! I love doing it for the slightest things #I just use it as a ''get these posts out of my sight'' button at the drop of a hat #If i have a bad encounter the rare times I go out into wider fandom of the things I love #I just Don't Go Back There. frankly I dislike engaging with wider fandom in general #fandom for me is me and my group of friends' Correct Opinions.#at that point if someone does something Funny™ you can just... talk about it civilly?#that's another thing I feel like we could give a try more often but we don't want to have that conversation!#stop talking Red #on reflection ''we don't want to have that conversation'' feeds into that so revision:#it seems a wider trend is to immediately condemn anyone with an opposing opinion without giving them the space to grow from that opinion.#I do not like that and wish we could work towards a better place of understanding!#not ''tone policing.'' just asking to show a little more compassion for the human on the other side of the screen #EDIT: this was about Dragon Age stuff lmao #I have since taken my own advice and blocked those involved!
