Re: Fandom rants! [All uses of "you" are in a general sense.]

Of course I know plenty of people who don't insist everyone follow their headcanons and of course a headcanon alone can't "ruin" a character or fandom, but it's pretty naive to think that those who do don't have a significant impact on the health of a fandom. If someone harasses you for not including the prevailing headcanon in your fanworks, you take that baggage with you when you move on to a new fandom, and it becomes a lot harder to take supposedly facetious "Character A has depression, it's canon, sorry folks I don't make the rules!111" posts in good faith.

Not to mention that prevailing headcanons can seriously impact the fandom's perceptions of the canon as they seep into meta. "I would like it if this character was trans" can very quickly mutate into "This character is coded trans and Character B is abusive and transphobic because they were mean to them one time. Fans of Character B, why do you support transphobia?"" which makes it... obviously not fun to participate in that fandom regardless of whether or not you have a horse in the race.

They're doing it wrong then and they can go circlejerk without harassing you. You're allowed to block them. I have no patience for SJW's who get on a moral high horse about fictional shit when they should be all up in the business of the terrible IRL happenings in the world.

Funny, they seem to go quiet and disappear when there's real world issues thrown at them. They're armchair warriors. Real activists cause real change, they don't sit on a website and whine that Harry Potter should be a POC.

Do you mean DA, or that you're the subthread OP who used that subject icon? SA/same anon is meant to indicate that you're the same anon as the one you're replying to i.e. you're replying to your own comment.

Either way, I'm not sure you've fully realized just how insidious the viewpoints of these "armchair warriors" can be. I block and blacklist freely, and it's barely made a dent. And it obviously does little to help once their influence extends to the fanworks. Pretty much the only way I can totally avoid the drama is by never reading fic and only following blogs who never post/reblog text posts at all, and that gets dull fast. :(

Though I'll admit I did recently stop bothering with my Tumblr Savior blacklist, because the extension quit playing nicely with my browser.
