People love to discredit things like this as a conspiracy and people doom fretting and such but... The reality is that quite literally globally the rich and powerful (particularly the men) want to return us to a world where they are the only people with freedom, resources and control.

Honestly I'm getting really tired of how people treat celebrities.

People act like they're circus animals that exist solely to dance for their entertainment, and that being a celebrity means they don't deserve to have any boundaries or dignity or privacy.

Like I always see posts going "Oh boo hoo people are being mean to the poor celebrity, maybe they can wipe away their tears with their money while the rest of us starve :(" and it's like what the fuck are you talking about.

Them being famous and having a lot of money (although a lot of celebrities aren't actually super rich, which no one ever wants to acknowlege) doesn't give people the right to treat them the way they do.

Being rich means nothing if people are stalking you and breaking into your house and sending you unhinged love letters.

Being rich means nothing if people are taking pictures of your fucking children so they can sell the pictures to magazines.

Being rich means nothing if people are following you every time you're in public (or even in private!) so they can try and take a picture of you doing something embarassing or scandalous.

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more cases of celebrities having mental breakdowns and losing their shit due to the amount of harassment, stalking, and invasion of privacy they face.

Leave these goddamn people alone for fuck's sake.

I always see people saying:

"Its what you sign up for when you become famous."

And I just. No. So much no. No?? Non??? Nada.

Like yes when you're famous a certain amount of your privacy erodes because you become a public figure. Its in the name. But the way celebrities are literally treated like nothing more than creatures that exist for us to consume and observe and dictate and judge is fucking insane. We learned nothing from Britney Spears, apparently.

Celebrities have become such a disconnected reality from 'general living' that we are so fucking out of touch with the fact that they're literally just human beings. Eminem made a song about it and people just laughed it off as a great musical plotline and 'haha funny Stan lets turn it into fandom culture slang.' One Direction had to hide in unmarked trade vans and book out entire airports (which then got hacked) just to try to travel without getting mobbed. Toby Maguire got branded as 'rude and aggressive' for yelling at paparazzi who literally surrounded his car and blocked him from leaving a car park so they could take photos of him.

Celebrities should not have to take out contracts and protection orders and press gags just so they can raise their children in peace or take them on a fucking walk. Celebrities should not have to cover tattoos honoring their dead mother because some clown who thinks it'll turn into a Y/N moments replicates it without any care for its actual meaning. Celebrity nudes and sex tapes get hacked and leaked and the celebrity is simultaneously blamed for it and sexualised to absolute hell for it.

"Sources" are constantly selling-literally selling- private information about people and their lives and families and its just?? Considered so fucking normal?? Imagine having a miscarriage and finding out three days later that your co-worker sold that information to a news outlet and its now front-page news globally?

Imagine organising a secret, small wedding so you can have that special day with the person you love without it being ruined and you find out the fucking priest told the Daily Mail it was happening so your special day consists of hoards of photographers yelling at you while you try to speak your vows?

Honestly I believe we do need stricter regulations and laws regarding this kind of thing. I firmly believe in the freedom of photography in public spaces but I also firmly believe that should absolutely not cover paparazzi literally stalking people, mobbing them, blocking them in alleyways and parking lots, using telescopic lenses to take photographs inside their houses, ect. It simply shouldn't.

People need to start imagining themselves and their family members in these types of situations and recognise that its fucking inhumane.

Replicating a celebrity's tattoos and personal, custom jewellery is incredibly weird, invasive, parasocial and disrespectful.

People should not have to beg you not to copy tattoos they got to honor their dead parents or copyright jewellery they made for their significant others. People should not have to constantly cover and hide their bodies to prevent people from copying their personal body art.

Its not cute. Its not harmless. Its not sweet, or a way to connect to them, or be close to them. Its not 'whatever.'

Its creepy. Invasive. Disrespectful.

Imagine you go through the process of losing a loved one and designing a piece of art meant to represent them and mourn them and continue their life on your body and one day some random stranger comes up to you and shoved that same tattoo on their body in your face and brags about how they got it done because they just love you so much and thought it was so cool.

If you still think its just a harmless little way of showing love or something, I really don't know what else to say to you. Its fucked up. Its gross.

I hate photos of weight loss where people are holding their breath, sucking in their stomachs and posing like contortionists to make themselves look like they've lost considerably more than they have or that their whole body has been re-comped.

Everyone else is praising the "results" and "miraculous change" while I'm sat there like "please breathe and unclench before you get a cramp."

"Too normalized" is a weird way to describe a thing (having kids) that people do much, much less nowadays than at any point in the past, and also a thing that people must either do or wind up dying alone and decrepit in a ditch.

"Too Normalized" Is A Weird Way To Describe A Thing (having Kids) That People Do Much, Much Less Nowadays

"And also a thing people must either do or wind up dying alone and decrepit in a ditch."

Hm. Hmmmmmm.

Almost like you're proving my point. How insane is that.

Oh yeah the WC fandom is fucking insane.

There's a very popular fanartist who has an OC that's a villain and people were harassing her because her villain is a white cat in a clan of black cats, and she was bullied and abused by them for her fur color.

People were literally accusing her of being a racist because "The white cat is being abused by the black cats, the artist is clearly saying that black people are evil and violent and want to victimize white people!"

The artist literally based the dynamic on how crows will ostracize birds in their flock that have albinism and people were going, "Why did she have to do this story with cats? Why not just do it with crows? Kind of sus :/"

Like,,, hello? What? It's fine if the story is about birds, but if it's about cats, it's racist? How does that make any fucking sense.

Oh Yeah The WC Fandom Is Fucking Insane.

hey, anon who made the warrior cat ask about a person making a family tree to prevent people shipping incest.

Alot of people misinterpreted my post I'm not talking about canon (which is also stupid they're fucking cats even when people say "they're human like! Don't excuse it that they're just cats!" weirdo people)

I'm talking about a fanmade fandom with ocs based on clangen GalaxyClan the creator of that series made a family tree cz people started accidentally shipping cats who are related

I personally ship Pansybloom with her sisters especially Brindlehail ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I love the family tree vid personally more inspiration for incest ships

My original post was talking about how people who make their own fandoms think they can make the internet do what they want and have boundaries with fiction regarding it.

That's impossible, once you've made a fandom just accept that people are gonna be "weird" about it

I know nothing about Warrior Cats and honestly the more I hear about it the more I'm thankful I'm not part of the fandom. I swear that I've never actually seen any positive content about it; the only posts I've seen are fans shitting themselves over canon and fanon content.

Unpopular opinion but Harry Potter franchise will not suddenly stop existing or being a relevant part of popculture if you bully some fanfiction writers on tumblr.

We could start working towards reducing the damage JKR caused by being popular person with a platform but people would rather do bare minimum of telling random HP fans to kys instead of doing any real work.

I've got a multitude of posts about this already. The unfortunate reality is that JK Rowling will always earn income from Harry Potter. When something is and was popular on the magnitude that Harry Potter is and was its impossible to completely kill it, but what we can do is metaphorically kill the creator.

(I must absolutely stress I mean that metaphorically.)

I've already detailed it in my other posts, but the goal should be to withdraw support until the only people still funding and platforming her are bigots like herself. Let her rot in her own community and only have a voice amongst people who only care about her because she parrots their rhetoric.

De-platform Harry Potter. Pirate it instead of paying for it. Downvote it and review bomb it on all platforms. Kill the cash cow it became.

If we can bully a multi-billion dollar company into changing the CGI of a fucking hedgehog we can force Warner Brothers to owe JK Rowling the bare minimum.

Absolutely hilarious to block someone who's harassing me and being an asshole in my ask box then check and see my follower count has gone down by 1.

The wolf was in the sheep pen, my dudes.

They're currently on sideblog #2 spamming my inbox with DMs about how I'm nothing but a pathetic anti hating on JK Rowling because she's a hard working female. Do with the ask as you please, but over-all I think its pretty clear to anyone who looks at my blog that I am definitely not an anti ๐Ÿ˜‚

I do keep blocking them, but I will commend their persistence.

Anyway. Left hand on the Bible for all its worth, not an anti. I do clown on idiots if they start it, but I do not condone actual harassment or genuine targeted bullying. I give what I get to a certain degree and that's all.

am i misunderstanding this? are they calling disagreements and arguments inherently harassment?

Pretty much. Its a troll account undoubtedly made after I corrected someone or clowned them for something they said. I've received a multitude of asks and reblogs from them today. Pretty pathetic but nothing I'm not used to, and it gives me the opportunity to have a pretty good laugh.

But for the general record: it was mostly a meme. Kpop has somehow made its way back onto my Instagram feed and I was reminded how unhinged the BTS fandom can get, especially if you actually engage with them.

hi, sorry i'm looking for help w an ao3 thing and the subreddit is closed and you seem fairly knowledgeable so hopefully you don't mind me putting this in your askbox haha

is there a way to search for fics with relationships involving a certain character? obviously you can filter for specific relationships, but if you don't particularly care *what* the pairing is as long as it has character x in it, is there a way to do that?

my problem is i'm stuck in ensemble character hell, and so often fics tagged with that character feature them only in the background. whereas (generally) if a character is tagged in a relationship then it's much more likely that they'll be in the main focus.

so is there a search function that will turn up fics tagged x/y AND x&y AND x/y/z and so on?

This Reddit thread may be of some use to you.

Currently there is no surefire way to search specifically for all ship options involving one character at once, but there are several ways you can somewhat navigate the search function in order to achieve something similar. There are some instructions for this on the thread, but there is also the AO3 Hidden Search Operator Cheatsheet.

I had to make my main ship in a rp server that I just found out being run by antis being both 20 years old

I only staying in the server because: A. Keeping an eye if the mods & owner decided to gaslight everyone into saying that all proshippers are pedophiles (& other bs) again, and B. It's the only good rp server in the fandom in discord

You could always create a server yourself, although that does come with a lot of responsibility which I do not suggest taking on without preparation and certainty that its something you want to do presumably for the long term.

Unfortunately fandoms often fall victim to having one or a small, select few options for suitable or dominating spaces within them. It can be hard to dig the fandom out of that hole and introduce/expand/improve upon the options available.

In terms of the gaslighting, there are plenty of resources available on the true nature of proshipping and its history if you do want to offer alternative information, although you should be aware countering their argument will likely result in you getting banned from the space.
