#or possibly people unfollowing me

[strangefable]

2, 3, and 5 for the salty fandom opinions asks XD

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?*

I don't know if there's any OTPs in FC5 that qualify. I mean, I brotp Sharky and Hurk Jr. but I feel like most people wouldn't ship it? I can't personally ship with Joseph, but I have no hate in my heart for anyone who does.

In TOW, I uh... Millsoto makes me see red like Jake's playing Only You for me. (To mix my fandom metaphors whoops.) I'm not trying to stop anyone, by all means you do you! I just do not want to see it.

For Horizon, I have some reservations about Elisabet/Tilda and Aloy/Tilda, though I understand where others are coming from with it.

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

No. I don't mind having people around with different opinions as long as everyone's respectful about it. That's part of the fun, tbh, hearing perspectives I haven't thought of or don't hold myself. It's just fandom, it's all in good fun, and I respect people having fun differently than I do with the same source. We're all here for a good time.

4. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*

Oh my god, yes, many many many times. Not as much in my current fandoms, as those are mostly OC x canon ships, and I'm not going to hate on anyone's OCs. (Not even ones I personally dislike, because again. People are allowed to have their own fun.)

In general, I'm mostly over white-lead mlm ships in any and all fandoms. They simply get too much of the attention pie. I've had my fill of typical slash after so many decades.

If you want some tea, here's some ships from old fandoms I'm sick of: Lassie/Shawn in Psych (why is there no Shawn/Gus, seriously wtf.), Destiel. Destiel. Destiel. I'm glad it was never made canon, y'all can stay mad about it. Nathan/Duke in Haven. It's not valid unless it's an Audrey sandwich. The OT3 is the only valid ship. They're both too in love with Audrey to see anyone else. McDanno in H50. I loved them until that was all that existed. :/

#salty asks #fable rants and rambles #fable answers #thank you for asking! <3 #setting myself up for some anon hate i guess lol #or possibly people unfollowing me #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #btw when i say white-lead i mean canon characters #i don't hate mlm oc ships at all #just felt i should add this caveat

Just an FYI you're a new follower, this is not a safe space for Verstappen fans.

#i know a lot of people are migrating from other apps #and i always get new followers after race weekends #so please unfollow me now if you're an MV stan #and I mean this in the nicest way possible

#these 'character you love joins the bad guys for fun!'AUs that keep making onto my dash deal so much psychic damage to me aaugh #like it's just a personal thing right. people can do whatever they want I just *really* don't like seeing these things myself #so I have every possible Eowyn x Witch King tag I could think of blocked #and YET #it STILL somehow keeps showing up on my dash!! #how do I make it stop without blocking/unfollowing people 😔 #if I have to see Eowyn turn evil and people go on about it like 'omg yesss girlboss slay <3' ONE more time I'm going to start biting #edit: it turns out the way to 'make it stop without blocking people' it just to politely ask them to add a tag to something #I am no longer suffering yay #communication really is important! huh who wouldda guessed!

i realised the "antis" thing and the age-old joy of shipwars is one reason i don't comment on fic as much as i would otherwise - there's this fear that appears that the author will click through to my own Works and see that i have written The Bad Pairing (whichever one that is for that person, which i mostly have no way of knowing) or some trope that enrages them and they'll like. block me and/or reply angrily. as far as i know this has never actually happened to me and yet for some reason i still worry about it.

#the downside of multishipping is that you can end up writing EVERYONE'S NoTP at least once #btw one of the main reason i tag posts on tumblr with the relevant pairings is so people can filter it out if they want to #but like. if i comment on 10 yr old thorki fic will the author get offended by my sylki fics? #and will the sylki writer be angered when they see the thorki ones? #is this because 15 years ago someone on LiveJournal called me an “evil shipper troll” for a comment whose content i remember nothing of? #possibly! #gonna admit the “get followed by someone who has unfollowed me by the time i see the notification” MIGHT be getting to me a bit D: #anyway i'll try to comment more on things and to reblog things. at the risk of being blocked or flamed or whatever.

Man if I had a dollar for every time some right wing asshole called me a pseudo intellectual for having degrees and failing to agree with them

I wouldn’t actually have that much money, it doesn’t happen that often. It is annoying, though, is the main thing

#i feel that calling me a pseudo intellectual implies I try harder than I do to cultivate an image of being an intellectual #I just post bullshit #i openly admit i am insane and disconnected from reality all the time #i complain about it regularly #i think most right wing people who dislike me just quietly unfollow or block and move on #i suppose it’s possible they complain about me behind my back but i don’t want to know

#personal #internets #at this rate I've unfollowed both of the kinda.. 'controvercial' blogs I've been following #since there was a good chunk of actually good takes about how bad media is now and society and braindead internet 'activists' that- #-had it too good in their western countries and NEEDED to invent the reason to bully and excile people #could honestly resonate with it despite some other posts causing genuine pain. but mostly about terribly handled media #like you know that thing when corporations do terrible ass rep to pretend that they care for minorities #or artificially fabricate online backlash against their new actors to show investors that people show interest for their product because- #-of all the clicks on their article? #like discussion of this kind sorta keeps me sober #as a person with BPD I get contaminated by opinions VERY easily and as an autist I will believe everything if it is put together 'logically #that's why I HAVE to be exposed to every possible opinion so I am forced to make out my own rather than being swayed anywhere #but at this point those blog became kinda.. bad? like they don't just have 'opinions' but they hate just to hate #but now my dashboard and recs are full of exclusively things I can fully agree with and I am scared that it will rot my brain #like.. emotions are always the same. where is the 'wait WHAT' effect? where is anger? where is self-reflection? #but ALSO I realized that 'those' blogs are no better than those western 'warriors' I despise and they become narrow-minded too in the end #they advertise themselves as 'open to debate' only to always sway debate into trying to win and not into actually discovering the truth #I cannot trust any side because they're all narrow-minded and hostile but I cannot trust people without any side because- #-they're fence-sitters without morals that side with the winner #is there a secret third thing? like is there a way to not take a side but to still HAVE ideals and opinions? #my problem is that if I am not exposed to people that trash everything I value I forget why AM I valuing [a thing] to BEGIN with #and that won't do will it

#someone unfollowed me for my palestine posts #good get the fuck out #but the fact that it was only one person and not like hundreds truly gives me hope tbh #my heart is broken every day #and i just had a hard conversation today w someone i care deeply abt who i thought was in support of a free palestine #and their switch up totally shook me i genuinely thought they were being sarcastic #i am angry and saddened #but i will let this anger and sadness fuel me bevause never again means never again for anyone #i cannot sit passively by and say and do nothing #i want a better future for all oppressed peoples #because a better world IS possible and we will build it together

I mean no fanbase is perfect but from my experience the TF fandom is pretty nice overall are there bad people in it oh yeah I’m sure but that applies to just about every fandom.

However that’s not to say I’m excusing bad things within it like misogyny and it’s good when it’s called out which thankfully does seem to be called out in this fandom.

Anyways yeah you’re right it’s not your responsibility to constantly bring up anything negative about something you enjoy.

It's not even about responsibility. It's just not necessary for me to do it all the time. Not every post needs a little disclaimer at the bottom abt how my post doesn't apply to x or y or z. I don't know why I've fallen into this need to do it--actually I do know why. It's because since I've started the habit the anon hate has gone down. It's like I'm shielding my back from every possible bad faith interpretation that could be made, and while effective it has made me just not want to post anything.

There are obviously many times when this effort and extra step need to be done but the amount of which I am doing it is exhausting and needless tbh

#like that post I just sent out abt tf art that sat in my drafts for a month #that I didn't want to post because I know there is so much bad and just plain distasteful art out there #but obviously my post isn't about that art. so why would I need to write a whole paragraph saying that #if someone wants to send a stupid comment or ask I can laugh at them #if someone wants to unfollow me over that post then I don’t know why they followed in the first place #even if worst case scenario a dear mutual unfollowed me for smth like that then I was working wayyyyy too hard to keep em #and we frankly aren't compatible people #this is such a trivial obvious conclusion to come to but given I was doing it all subconsciously this took a very long time to realize #and this is my blog! fuck it. this is about my man vs self journey it doesn't have to be a profound discovery see I'm fucking doing it agai #do you see this? do you see this unnecessary end note that protects me from even the possibility of someone finding this post #annoying or stupid? even just in their thoughts? #Mac asks

[lil-grem-reblogs]

Why is it that in order to recognize harassment and stop doing it, people have to be actively called out for it first? Why do people have to justify it in their heads so much that they ignore common sense? Their social circles enabling such behaviour and joining in on bullying? Some of you need to get off social media.

#Have an urge to disengage from this community every other week #me babbling #no offence to anyone but i will start unfollowing blogs that bring up dramas #i dint want to continue feeling disappointed #no matter who is wrong and who is right #tumblr is my escape place #and i am the one in charge of creating an environment for myself that does not make me feel bad logging in #once again no offence but i cannot bring myself to ask people about all the possible sides to every little and big drama #so i dont jnow who is write/wrong/morally in the right/ has reasobs #/has proof and so o #i will either unfollow or block personal tags #thank you #i dont have energy for discovering the truth

I hate that I feel guilty about unfollowing people on instagram for posting lefty slogan art.

#i just hate slogan art sorry the slogans are usually bad #plus i'm a rampant unfollower on every platform and it's not an insult to anyone it's just me trying to live with my brain #i'm sure it is possible to have constructive leftist activism on social media but i have only ever seen the weird purity kind #so i avoid it like the plague now because to me avoiding purity stuff is kind of life or death actually #if it makes me feel like i'm at my evangelical church again only leftist it can gtfo #this is personal to me- i am sure slogan art can be very important to people and i'm happy for them #plus on instagram i'm especially bitter because i get 6 likes on a digital art piece that on and off took 15 months #it's bitter of me but i'm like 'this person can probably do without my likes'

[mercgaydes]

every so often I feel like people start following me under the guise that I like lestappen so let this be your official quarterly notice that this is very anti lestappen blog 😭

#it’s my fault. that stupid post I made in March 2022 made people think I like lestappen and max #when I actually hate both those and only like Charles #of all things to have 4.5K notes from my blog that was possibly the worst #if you unfollow me after seein this post I’m happy for u bc I feel like y’all got bamboozled 😭 I’m not who u want

[popissue]

i can't stop replaying in my head how my mother called ME uneducated when i expressed my horror over the atrocities that have led to the dead children of gaza, of the orphaned children born from martyred mothers, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers— orphaned, widowed, because entire families are being wiped clean from the earth. every safe haven at risk of being bombed and targeted. just about every lifeline intercepted. I'M uneducated... Because fox news calls us radicals for seeing how twisted the narrative has become, when i have SEEN israelian people on social media mocking the war that is apparently so necessary, it excuses these evil acts. they can laugh, belittle, drink in bars and caption their posts "war days🤍💙" while sunbathing — not covered in the blood of themselves and others, the dust of rubble. they can let everyone blame hamas for the mass genocide that has taken place in just 1 month because they know. THEY KNOW. Listen to the old soldiers of Israel laugh about how they tortured them then just as they are now. THEY KNOW.

I'm so sickened... And so angry. The faith I had left in humanity has wavered so much in these past weeks... and the fear has crept in. But we have to persist for those who cant. Do not stop talking about Palestine. Even when you're not online, DO NOT BE SILENT if you care. Not when the Palestinians have been silenced for so long. You don't have to already know everything, there's a lot of history. But it is there. You can find it. at least be open ... do not look away. Read what is being provided to us, watch the difficult videos, and imagine that this was your country and everyone in the world had turned a blind eye on you. Imagine these were your sisters, your brothers.... your mothers, fathers, uncles, cousins, grandfathers, grandmothers. Your friends and lovers. hear the words of these people as they beg for ceasefire so that this nightmare can end. So much has already been taken from them, DO NOT LET THEIR VOICE BE PERMANENTLY SILENCED BY ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE.

#also #jews shouldnt be targeted anymore than Palestinians....this is just an abhorrent act on humanity. this is about ceasefire not about #condemning jews as a whole #or this that and the other #please use your hearts and common sense.... #i will continue to educate myself as much as possible and everyone should do the same #and if anyone wants to misinterpret this then dont even bother. just fucking unfollow me #i will not engage with willfully ignorant / brain washed people #palestine

#i unfollowed and blocked someone id followed for a long time #someone id followed prolly from the beginning of this blog #because the only palestine related posts they were reblogging were about calling out leftist antisemitism #and like im not against that i am all for calling out antisemitism and they were also calling out tankies #which again i am 100% for i have called out tankies on this blog many times #but this person had NO posts about support for palestine #not one link tree for donations or anything at all #just posts calling the most vocal people for palestinian liberation holocaust deniers with no proof #and its just like i went back in their blog for a full week #it was only fandom stuff and posts about tankies being antisemetic #and its like you can do both bro #i have been doing both #i have posted about support for palestine and i have been calling for denouncment of antisemitism and tankies #its possible to do both #but you havent been #and it kind of implicitly tells me where you stand
