some of you are really out here on sports fandom tumblr in 2022 calling other people deranged and delusional for writing fanfiction you don't personally like. i too love to be a hater but there is really no need to be so unnecessarily mean and rude about someone else's hobby that they put effort into or the stories they like to think about. much less call them crazy disgusting freaks for doing basic age-old fandom activities on the fandom website where you are also posting about real life men. grow up perhaps!

#this is about a few things danielfest included #like we all know this is fiction? yes there are more and less sensitive ways you can treat particular topics but like #this is sports rpf THEE arena for exploring internalised homophobia and this is what we're up in arms about?#sometimes you're gay or bi and you want to explore your own complex and fraught feelings about it through a fictional narrative?#is this not what fandom is? i feel like i'm going fucking insane since when is this not what fandom is FOR #it's about personal emotional excavation it's about building little narratives with your friends it's about having fun #why are some of you SO intent on making ship wars happen relax please i beg!#anyway if anyone wants to argue with me about this please feel free maybe there are things i haven't considered!#i've just been finding this discourse deeply offputting #and it honestly weirdly feels actually quite? homophobic? for people to be so intent on morality policing #how other people write and think about complex gay and bi experiences within their own fandom communities #tmi
