I only became aware of it early on because I had the misfortune of knowing a group of anti-shippers irl and briefly followed them on tumblr to be friendly before realizing.

I really don't understand all these people who feel the need when people are venting to come up and say "shut up it's not that much of an issue, I haven't seen many/any actual antis" like... maybe you haven't but.. it costs nothing to let people be concerned. Especially when the damage antis cause have involved people being driven off a site from harassment, people having false accusations spread against them, people sent to mental health clinics after suicide attempts and that one person who almost ingested a needle.

I tend to assume that's what antis do in stealth mode. Like, is it possible that the person writing that is in only fandoms I've never heard of, that the waves of "you're a horrible person if you ..." haven't yet crashed against? Yes. But if that were me, I would be paying attention with the assumption that it could happen, and I could learn things from the problems other parts of fandom have had with it. I would be asking for where I can observe this behavior and showing it to my friends and talking about how to address it. I would not be telling strangers they're "overreacting" to being mobbed and publicly but frivolously accused of pedophilia.

When someone responds to conversations about interpersonal abuse by trying to hush them up or disrupt them, that's generally telling me they want the abuse to continue.
