Fandom Policing

I really, really hate fandom policing. I hated it when I was twelve and was so afraid to read slash because OMG DICKS TOUCHING WHAT and I hated it when I was fifteen and was smuggling the yaois under my mattress so I would always have a supply of top notch garbage to read, and I am 24 and I hate it now.

Here is the thing: YOU CONTROL what you take in. I am not responsible for your consumption of Hydra Trash party noncon, I am not responsible for your consumption of pegging smut, and I am not responsible for your consumption of fluffy sickfic. I am not responsible for you consuming anything. 

I might be responsible for writing that noncon or pegging or sickfic, but I did not make you read it. I did not hand it to you, I did not give it to you. I created it, and made it available for those who want to enjoy.

If you don’t like it, if you don’t want it, then you don’t have to read it. 

That choice made, the choice not to consume a type of fic or art, also means you don’t get to drag the person who wrote it. 

That is a damn slippery slope. 

Fandom is a “safe space” but not in the way that it protects you from things that you don’t want to see or don’t like or are offended by. Fandom is, and has traditionally been, a space for people to create and explore with out being told “no” by outside media. Fandom is where you can find out if you don’t fit in the boxes society tells you to, or it you just really, really like reading about Bucky getting repeatedly rammed in the ass by Hydra agents sans lube. 

And no matter how well-meaning you are, you don’t get to tell other fans what they can and cannot write, or draw, or enjoy. 

When you start telling people what they can create or enjoy, you invalidate the purpose of fandom, and create a situation where instead of free exploration, we have something similar to mainstream media in which certain tropes or topics are not allowed. This limits the free expression, exploration and innovation so highly prized in fandom.

Maybe what they draw is illegal in five states, and highly restricted in several countries. Maybe it’s offensive, maybe it’s inaccurate, or just plain bad.

It doesn’t matter. 

You don’t get to tell fans how to enjoy fandom. You mind your own path, your write your own fic, you write meta on why x trope is offensive/problematic/bad but you do not tell other fans how to enjoy fandom.

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

about multishipping and hualian

first of all: this post isn’t directed to anyone in particular, i just want to put my thoughts down on here because the way i multiship in tgcf is kind of different from the way i multiship in other media.

so the thing is, i have ships where hualian are not together, but. it’s always with "hualian endgame" in mind. i can’t see either of them permanently in another relationship.

i like the thought of feng xin pining on xie lian as a teenager, because he admired him so much. maybe he made it known, maybe not (probably not, imo, for all the respect he had for him), maybe he wasn’t even aware of it. i just love thinking of him having to navigate confusing feelings towards xie lian, the person he swore to follow and protect anyway. his friend. the blurred lines of how close he should be or not! i just love it.

i like the thought of junlian because it is fucked up. i once saw someone say that people who ship junlian "need to reread the book". and i was just like. do you think i ship junlian because they’re in love? because i want them to live happily ever after with each other? i ship them because it’s so fucking angsty, because i love to imagine jun wu breaking xie lian mentally so much that xie lian can only turn to him for comfort (like he did when bwx hugged and comforted him in book 4). the pain is the gain, it’s the angst that i love. but of course they are not fit for each other in a healthy way. of course they can’t be happy (at least not xie lian) together.

i like the thought of huaxuan being each other’s only companion in misery. he xuan hating hua cheng but simultaneously admiring him. hua cheng taking his anger and frustration out on he xuan. do i think it’s canon? no, but i like imagining it.

i think those are the only ships i have that separate hualian, but like. the point is that the relationships can’t work. hualian will always need and want each other. they can’t be fulfilled and happy without each other in my eyes.

If you tell someone directly "that behavior makes me uncomfortable, please stop doing that to/around me" and the person keeps doing it and anyone tries to excuse it with "they're autistic, they can't help that they're bad at social clues", know that it's bullshit. Once you have verbally articulated a boundary directly to someone's face it is no longer a complex social clue, it's a direct request. And you don't get to ignore direct communication of boundaries because you're autistic.
