i voted no because it comes across like you want to argue about it, not like you don’t want to be bothered by people like that

yeah that's fair. i definitely don't actually want to argue, but at the same time my inbox is open my anon is on and my DMs are set so anyone can message me if they want, so it's not like i'm actively trying to avoid being bothered by people like that?

i guess the poisonous frog metaphor is more like, in this scenario where izzy fans are the predators and i am a poisonous frog, if the predator does try to eat the poisonous frog anyway the frog is like, mildly annoyed at worst, but probably finds the predator kinda funny. the frog is mostly unbothered. so that image as my header is more of a warning for izzy fans than it is an effective defense for me

the thing is that one of my biggest joys on tumblr dot com is making my blog title into some kind of stupid joke. for a while it was "Worthless Idiot Loser" because an anon called me that for stanning izzy (a thing i am notorious for Not Doing). and i think my most iconic header was What If King George Was Demisexual.

currently my blog title is based on that time when i accidentally made people think i thought izzy was straight, which is already something izzy fans (and i think just ofmd twitter as a whole) think of as a time when i was trying to start a fight or whatever. and the joke there is that izzy being straight is the dumbest and also funniest concept to me, and it's funny that i got yelled at for not even saying that.

so like, someone saying "so many ppl with ourflagmeansgay[X] as their url are suicide-baiting antis" is right up my alley in terms of shit i find funny, bc i absolutely do not do that and it's funny how the things i've said have been taken out of context and read in bad faith and now that's how people perceive me. that sounds bitter lol but genuinely i find it funny, like it's literally tumblr. everybody calm down.

and if someone does want to try and argue with me abt it tho i don't mind explaining that no, i've never told anyone to jump off a cliff or anything along those lines, and i'm only an "izzy anti" in that i personally hate izzy and love to dunk on him, and that i (and other ofmd fans) have noticed problematic trends in a lot of izzy content. and yes, i will make posts about those trends and i discuss that stuff on my blog, but by no means have i ever sent harassing messages, nor do i condone harassment. i don't want to tell people what to do!! like even when i say "izzy's popularity in the ofmd fandom is yet another example of the pervasive trend across every fandom ever of fan content prioritizing a shitty white masc antagonist, even in media with a diverse cast," noticing that trend is not the same thing as saying "so if YOU are an izzy fan, i think YOU SPECIFICALLY need to stop posting about izzy now!!"

anyway currently "yes" is winning by a landslide so it looks like i’m going to be choosing violence (/j)
