To be honest I like Eren/Levi way more the Erwin/Levi so I get you. Although I mostly stay away from fandom discussions on this series in general so most people don't know I like it. I don't know what it is about this fandom but everyone is super passionate about everything in the series especially if they hate it. It makes discussions of Attack on Titan really really difficult. Part of the problem may be the timing of the series coming out coincided with the height of the SJW in fandom (especially shipping) phase that flooded tumblr and the fandom hasn't recovered from that. I just read fics and look at fanart of my favorite ships and ignore everything else. So I get why you wouldn't want to say anything at all. Ship wars are no fun to be involved in.

OP

...Yeah this secret already seems to be getting a little of that. People get really weirdly argumentative about this series, and as I wrote in another comment that's exactly why I'm kind of avoiding a good friend over this. She's got major ship goggles on and is being really "anti" anything besides Erwin/Levi, which makes avenues of conversation kind of dry up since she can't look at this series as anything other than a vehicle for shipping fantasies. :(

So I'm basically doing exactly what you are. I plan on donating some scans of my favourite doujinshi for scanlating, I just ead and look at fanart, and I try to ignore the fandom at large. Especially the anti-Ereri brigade, cue eyerolls at the "ur a pedo if u ship this" accusations and bullshit.

That's really too bad that her shipping goggles are on that tight. Sometimes I'm able to find common ground with someone with a series if we like the same secondary ship but sounds likes she's there for Erwin/Levi and that's it. So that makes discussions on the series even harder.

I never posted Ereri on my tumblr since so many of my followers/people I follow are against it. If they use the pedo argument against you it's very likely they won't be reasonable about what you have to say. It's actually hard for me to remember that people actually really like Ereri. Last night I created a whole new tumblr account because I felt constricted by my old tumblr. I originally joined as a hardcore feminist and most of my followers/people I follow are from that time in my life. I've mellowed a lot and have gotten back into slash in the last couple years so I wanted to post non-female centric stuff without feeling guilty.

Making slash artwork/fic as a feminist shouldn't make you feel bad. That only applies if you're very misogynistic in the work that you make.

but SJWs have been on tumblr since forever. The same with fandom secrets!
