White Fangirls: I love when the male lead ends up with the girl next door or his childhood bff

*Girl is Black*

White Fangirls: um ... the girl next door thing is so cliched.

White Fangirls: I love when the male lead pines over the girl and she's oblivious

*Girl is Black*

White Fangirls: She's so CRUEL. Why doesn't she see he's in love with her? She's a bitch.

White Fangirls: I love when they go from partners to lovers. It's my favorite trope.

*Girl is Black*

White Fangirls: Why can't they just stay friends. Not every relationship is romantic. Ugh!

White Fangirls: I love when the female lead is more than just a love interest. I love when she has her own storyline and can kick ass.

*Girl is Black*

White Fangirls: Why do they focus on her so much? [Other white character] is so much more interesting.

White Fangirls: I don't understand why there aren't more strong female leads.

Me: *looks at all the strong Black female leads on TV*

Me: What about -

White Fangirls: There's just no strong, three-dimensional women on TV to root for. Sigh.

Jews aren’t involved in a widespread conspiracy to control American society, but you know who is?

Rich white evangelical christians.

OP turned off reblogs

APPARENTLY this is something I need to state because it isn’t something people understand. If someone says for _____ to not interact and you fall into that category, don’t interact with them! It IS invading boundaries. It doesn’t matter if you think those boundaries make sense, they’re that person’s boundaries.

if someone tells you that your OC or your fave is a Mary Sue, tell them they shouldn’t complain about a character when they can’t even get their name right

anyone notice a new trend of really entitled people joining fandom?

I feel like jerks have existed since the beginning of time, but it feels worse lately.

So far this year, I’ve witnessed:

People offering free unasked criticism to artists because they’re not happy with the way their favourites are portrayed, stating that ‘they deserve to know what they did wrong so they can improve’ while the feedback they offered was ‘why does everyone look like they’re on ozem***’ (idk if i need to tw this word)

Also giving feedback AND REVIEWS to FANFIC as if they’re published works (and adding them on GOODREADS TO RATE)

People mass producing binded fanfiction and making THOUSANDS of dollars off work they did not create (they stole the artwork too)

People running incomplete fanfictions through AI because the writer wasn’t updating and COMMENTING on the fic telling others to do the same so they can get an ending

And now, in the span of two days:

People trying to argue that if they can’t sell binded fanfiction, then you’re not allowed to commission fanart from artists either

The same people encouraging people to use AI or steal fanart for their binds

ALSO the same people openly admitting that when they typset fics, they will edit the fanfiction and change entire sentences so that it ‘makes more sense to them’ – one person complained the entire fic was rough gramatically and was seeking permission not from the author but OTHER BINDERS to freely edit as they please

I’m trying to be a positive person in the communities I’m in, but GOD I am so tired. Every day I fight a battle deciding if I should just be a worse person, everyone’s doing whatever the hell they want anyway.
