You know, I feel the same way.

I feel a little bit wary of talking about my favorite ships/fics/headcanons too much on my blog, since for some reason I have a lot of people who follows me who hate those very things, but at the same time, I started feeling annoyed with myself for repressing my opinions to please a bunch of strangers.

Nowadays I'm forcing myself to talk about the things I like, despite my inner voice yelling at me for not trying to please people as I always had, but as you say, a)it's my blog, b)I tag EVERYTHING and c)people can still unfollow me if they get bothered too much.

Oh no, I hope you don't have any haters (of your ships) following you, looking to find a reason to pounce. I've heard a couple horror-stories about that kind of thing (not many!), but I don't think it's too common. Hopefully it'll never come to that.

Either way, I don't think you should have to censor yourself on your own blog. No one is being forced to follow you so the simple fact is they can unfollow you if they want to. Carefully watching what subjects you talk about or reblog is too much effort, imo. Again, fandom should be fun, and if you don't feel like you're getting anything out of it (or what you want, anyway) what's the point?

Sadly I have quite some haters following me, and I'm baffled about that as well, because I clearly specify on my blog's "about page" what ships I follow and what are the things I blog/reblog about, and yet people who hate those keeps following me. :O

I think it could be because I'm a medium/smaller fandom, and so anyone posting about that is better than nothing, I guess. Still, emotions run deep in my fandom, and so I would be lying if I said I'm not a little afraid one of these days I'll be getting hate for posting about the things I like, but I too hope it'll never come to that.

Thank you for your kind words! That's exactly what I keep telling myself and so hearing those words from another person means a lot to me!

I don't understand why anyone follows people they don't share interests with, or that they share interests with but feel completely opposite about. Seems like the frustration wouldn't be worth whatever they're getting out it. (And if they do it just to send the person in question hate-mail for reblogging or posting about something they don't like, then they're total assholes who shouldn't be using the site in the first place.)

:( I've heard from a lot of people who were pleased with being in smaller fandoms, but I guess they have their downsides like any other fandom.
