These people are definitely out there and they're incredibly noxious. I think people exaggerate how prevalent they are a little bit, and I think it's not necessarily *that* hard to avoid them if you try. But it's a real thing.

Depends what you like whether they're avoidable. Because they go looking for people who fit their idea of what a bad person is. And that stereotype has nothing to do with *how you actually treat other people* and everything to do with superficial traits, like "do you support sex between two characters who would be breaking some law if they fucked in my country and were found out?" Or simply ships involving a character that said anti and their little clique abhors.

And sometimes they end up in fandoms where I have no fucking clue what they think they're doing, there. The canon ship in Loveless is between a twenty year old and a twelve year old. Both of which are gloriously traumatized people. And at one point you had influential fans trying to claim that they (the fans) are upstanding, well-adjusted human beings, who like Soubi and Ritsuka's 'healthy, beautiful' relationship, while us people shipping Seimei/Ritsuka and Ritsu/Soubi are morally offensive degenerates.

Also, I've been in situations where "the antis are over there. I could avoid them," would involve standing by and letting them humiliate new fans who didn't know what posting three lines of "I just read this story and think X and Y are in love!" in the Tumblr tag would bring down on them. So, I see "things I don't like but don't have to read" as something I can steer clear of, and "people on a self-righeous power trip attacking fellow fans" as something to criticize and challenge when I see it, even when my ships aren't their targets.

It depends on fandoms. If you're in one that has little to no antis (I've been in these for years), then sure, it can feel like a fake. But as soon as you get into a fandom that has a very active anti fanbase (happaned to me like, twice), then it's a major thing that's hard to ignore. I had to cherry pick who I follow and/or talk to before, to not get dogpiled just because I'm a *quotes* P R O S H I P P E R *un-quotes* /roll eyes

Say on you're on Twitter. You ship X/Y which is somehow problematic, so every time you tweet about it you get weirdoes quote-tweeting you with insults. You block them but new ones pop up all the time, and you have to engage at least once in order to block anyway. How do you avoid them?

I guess you could exclusively move in your circles but that's a pretty limiting fandom experience. What if you're a fan artist who wants to gain an audience?
