I'm tired of all the tantrums and the screaming and the insults I see in what should be fun fandom spaces.

This! I'm tired of the constant call-outs over petty fandom shit, too. Any more, when I see someone being accused of pedophilia, racism, sexism, etc., I want to see the evidence for myself. Otherwise, I'm inclined to think it's just some social climber trying to torpedo a rival or someone throwing a shitfit because someone else wrote their fave in a way they don't like, or ships their NOTP.

Evidence or GTFO. It sucks that I've become so deeply cynical and skeptical of the motives of every callout, because sometimes they really ARE important. Maybe one out of 15 or 20 has some really bad shit that does need to be addressed. The signal to noise ratio is permanently, hopelessly fucked though. My first response to a callout in fandom now is always, "huh, wonder what this person ships that you don't like."

Yeah. I realize that it's not great that everybody's first assumption when there is an actual predator in fandom spaces is gonna be "lol right, there someone goes with shipping wank again" but unfortunately antis are probably gonna anti for the foreseeable future.

ayrt

Yeah, that's true. But when people keep crying wolf about trivial shit, it's unfortunately going to happen. And the result is that the people who will benefit the most are the genuine predators, who set themselves up as being "safe" adults and not like those sickos who ship the Bad Ships.

If someone in fandom warns that another fan is a "pedophile," I will be skeptical of their claim, but look into it further.

If someone warns that another fan "sexualizes minors," I'll say "Ah, they make porn about anime teens, got it" and either keep scrolling or check out their work to see if they write/draw any of my ships.

The way fandom callout addicts use "pedophile" and "sexualizes minors" are exactly the same though. They're synonyms to that crowd.

The worst and most damaging effect isn't even to artists and writers.

The WORST effect is that I've seen Tumblr and Twitter posts from 15-year-olds having meltdowns about being "MAPS" and "pedophiles" - for being attracted to people their own age.
