Please Warn About This Zine DO NOT SUPPORT

Please warn about this zine DO NOT SUPPORT

The From Ashes Axel zine (https://fromashes-zine.tumblr.com/) is run by and mostly contributed to by antis.  The head mod Ana is really gross, compares pro-shippers literally to Nazis and the KKK like they’re even anywhere near the same level of potentially dangerous to anyone.

Bringing people together through hate? Yeah, that’s the kind of person I want running a zine, whether or not minors are involved.

There are several contributors who are vocal antis as well, especially “succubused” who now goes by queerphobe, which I think says enough by itself. She is “ironically” homophobic on purpose and thinks it’s cute.

She’s made overt death threats and then claims they’re “ironic”.

I don’t even know who projared is, but it isn’t her job to decide who gets to live and die.  Her blog is full of this kind of stuff, and she’s also a raging aphobe and frequently makes threats of violence.

The whole zine is full of antis and all around toxic people. Here is a few receipts for some of them, using our favorite slur. I don’t have time to go through every single account, these are just the ones I know are toxic abusive people.

Most of them are also friends with queerphobe, who was privy to people in a server she ran invading other discord servers of RPers and fans of things they didn’t like and posting gross imagery, as well as lying about their identities to get information from people in fandoms who liked ships and themes they didn’t.

This mod team is toxic and many of the participants are bad people. No one should support this zine, because that is supporting bullying, aphobia, and the watering down of actual problematic occurrences, such as, you know, Nazis and the KKK.

Please pass this information along. No one should support this zine or any of the participants.

(Edit: Thank you for submitting! Passed along!)

some of u guys still gotta learn what "cringe culture is dead" means apparently

And here’s the second image.

i need some of you to realize that call out culture, by design, rewards people who make the most outrageous & aggressive accusations, without regards to truth or context. it encourages people to misconstrue, to erase context, to outright lie. it feeds the instinct to attack, with or without cause. 

and that naturally enables certain types of people (terfs, exclusionists, bigots) who already have a vitriolic bandwagon behind them, to target & harass minority bloggers whose inclusive platforms they do not like to see becoming popular.

this has happened time and again, it has driven good people off this site, it is traumatic and unhealthy to everyone involved. purity culture creates an atmosphere of fear & paranoia, i am begging you to reexamine this attitude of mob violence in online spaces

I wonder what our world would currently be like if J.K. Rowling had just let the man who spent seven years making the HP Lexicon publish his encyclopedia instead of bringing him to court and blocking his publication so that she could be considered the only official source of all things Harry Potter as she tweets out updates on Dumbledore’s sex life and wizards shitting in the streets…

Toss a Coin to Your Archive!

the Organization for Transformative Works is an incredibly groundbreaking repository for creators, and the constant scrutiny it undergoes because ignorant children don’t understand that things cost money to maintain, and that their opinions do not represent everyone’s, is infuriating.  so infuriating, in fact, that i decided to rage-create. so there.

this was fun as shit to sing, ngl.

special thanks to Green Noize for providing the excellent instrumental track, and the only one i found that was actually fully faithful to Jaskier’s original. also thanks to alias for the inspiration to write these lyrics, and to my dear friend FilkAeris for instilling in me a fierce appreciation for filks in the first place.

parody lyrics by me.  “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher”  composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, and sung by Joey Batey for the Netflix series The Witcher. which is awesome and you should definitely watch it if you like gritty medieval fantasy.  and boobs. and swearing. and hot guys wearing leather. and bards. definitely bards. 

and since we know bard is a combat class, this is my stand, and the hill i am prepared to die on.
