So in other words it's nbd to be a jerk because it should be on the recipient of the jerky behavior to not...receive jerky behavior?

It's on the recipient of jerky behavior from the hate base to either ignore it, or turn off the fucking computer.

There will always be some asshole out there who hates what you're doing. It's on you to tell them to fuck off and go about your merry way. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

You don't have to care what others think. Especially not about fictional characters.

If someone acts like a dick, you don't have to listen to it. Block them. Turn off the computer. Go to another website, God knows there are thousands.

Where did this idea that people are helpless come from?

Except it's not that easy? Have you ever had to?

Shit, I just watched it go down yesterday. A fic writer got an anon going "Don't you know these two adult characters have a mentor/student dynamic and so it's kind of gross to ship them?"
"Yup, I like that dynamic."

"Well you need to tag it child grooming because it triggered me."
"Nope! If you have a problem with that, don't look at my blog."

Let me reiterate. A consensual relationship between two adults who happen to have a mentor/student relationship. Next thing they know they're getting floods of anon hate, so they turn off anon. All the fandom tags have been spammed with the fact they're a child molester. Twitter fandom has been spammed. I'm not on instagram, but wouldn't be surprised if they were spamming that too. They're getting off-anon hate. Stuff of theirs is getting reblogged accusing them of being a child molester.

Now, how do you block that? How do you ignore that? How do you continue to participate in fandom when the only thing in fandom for you is people screaming that you're a child molester? That you can't post anything without it getting targeted. Your friends can't say anything or they get the same treatment.

All because you refused to give into one demand that you tag your consensual adult ship as CHILD-GROOMING for a random anon that claims to be upset by seeing it presented as ok.

The only thing you can do is give in to the bullying, or leave fandom.


Hell, I have someone stalk me for over a year because in a doll fandom I bought a brand of doll she didn't like. She waited, and got me booted off dA by fabricating all these screencaps of me harassing her and her followers. I barely even remembered her! I vaguely remembered the name and had to go searching back through old messages to see where she'd flamed me and I'd blocked her.

People are nuts.

So why does saying it should be the onus of assholes to stop being assholes equate to saying people are "helpless"?
