I feel really bitter how my former online friend group went from being hardcore antis who obsessively called people out, to more "neutral" now.

I'm glad their opinions changed, but the herd mentality is why I don't feel comfortable talking to them anymore. I had to pretend to be an anti for years because I was terrified of getting doxxed or told that I deserved my trauma, and now they arbitrarily stopped caring about discourse.

Better late than never, but the scars of being too scared to express my opinions are still there.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean this genuinely when I say: I'm sorry, anon, that you felt forced to remain with a toxic friend group you didn't feel comfortable with.

[(Anonymous)]

Plot twist: OP's friend was also pretending to be anti for years.

In all seriousness, yeah, even without that fear of being doxxed, sometimes a person changing position after so long feels a bit "too little, too late."

[(Anonymous)]

Oof... going to be super honest here, I know what it's like to be on both sides of such a situation.

I'm sorry you had friends like that Secret OP. I hope you have friends who you can be comfortable with now who you don't feel a need to be performative with, and you don't owe your old friends pleasantries if you don't want to associate with them.

I recognize that in my teens and a good amount of my 20s feeling like my opinions were the right opinion. I'd argue my point to people, determined to prove my point. I felt like I was correct because my intentions were altruistic.
However, the older I got and being exposed to more of the world, I began to understand that the world is complex and good intentions may feel altruistic, but that alone is not enough to do good in the world. Nor does it mean good intentions equate to a better world. Atrocities have occurred as a result of good intentions. And having an "I"m the smartest person in the room" energy is off-putting. It made me feel terrible and embarrassed for having been such an unaware ass.

I try my best to listen to people speak their mind and try not to judge. Instead try to understand.
But I know that the ways I behave now don't excuse the defensive and judgmental ways I treated friends and fellow fandom members in the past.
I also recognize it's not my job to try to educate people of their ignorance (though if they ask I might be inclined to help where I can).

Like, to anyone who needs to hear it, don't be too hard on yourself. You deserve to feel like you are safe enough to express your opinions. And please be mindful of performative political action, especially in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

That's... complicated. I'm sorry that you went through that, and you've been able to leave that relationship, even if it's only because they've become more accommodating. Something I'm also glad about.

[dani_phantasma]

honestly this is why i feel like hardcore antis must be such toxic unpleasant friends. It's bad enough (especially when you're a recovering people pleaser) worrying about your friend's disapproval on a personal level. but also being afraid they'd post your real name and address online if they disapprove bad enough is just the kinda thing that causes trust issues.

I feel like its fair to say that if your friend gives you cause to be like AFRAID of their reaction to a thing you like or a ship..esp like afraid for your SAFETY or mental health) they aint a very good friend...

[(Anonymous)]

Um doxxing someone over a fandom opinion is literally unhinged. Like if you even suspect that someone you (OP or whoever's reading this) know MIGHT doxx you over fandom shit you need to get the fuck away from them.

"This doesn't apply if they're shipping x kind of ships/proships -"

Yes it fucking does. If they're talking about relationships with fictional characters that doesn't call for plastering their real name online.

It blows me away that people think doxxing is called for over shit like that. If you really think they're a danger to any actual person theres tiplines. Though if your reason is their fictional ships you're probably wasting their time and should just shut up altogether.

Some of you give online randoms way too much power over your lives holy shit. Get a grip.

It is very interesting to me that a woman who is about to marry the ostensible love of her life is still obsessed with constantly hammering on the theme of how victimized and wronged she was by her exes. The fans are somehow buying the idea that she stays winning, but to me it's giving nothing so much as: “I have never ever been happier” [said by a tearful blonde woman – Sydney Sweeney as Cassie from the TV show Euphoria]

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't realise that being in a happier place means you can't have feelings about how you were treated by an ex. Emotions don't just turn off like that.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you also think Freddy Mercury should have just sung songs about dying once he knew he was terminally ill or...?

[(Anonymous)]

Um, do you mean her songs which her fans identify with and are basically her brand and make her a ton of money? Or are you talking about something else?

[(Anonymous)]

If I made bank off of songs about break-ups and exes I absolutely would keep singing about it, lol. Like what kind of weird argument even is this?

When I watched Three's Company reruns growing up, I thought Jack was called Jack Tripper because he tripped a lot.

Them: Only virgins want idealized sex and romance in fantasy. I, the enlightened, want to see realism
Me: So like unwashed genitalia smelling bad after a sweaty day at work, or not quite getting every trace of shit out of an ass, or when you kiss someone and they still taste like the tuna sandwich they had for lunch, or morning breath
Them: No no no stop, ew. I clearly meant idealized realism that remains sexy but maybe a little bit silly. Not like those people that want idealized idealism
Me: ಠ_ಠ

I saw a gif or a video once of a housecat washing a tiger. Apparently this housecat nursed the tiger as a cub, and someone commented that in cat body language, the housecat was being the dominant one and the tiger was allowing it.

This image pops into my head whenever I think of Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's relationship. I guess we all have that one longtime housecat friend that makes us forget we're tigers now.

My biggest issue with the Iron Lung fandom right now is that there are people who have made an interpretation of certain scenes and backstories as fact and everyone is taking it as truth because they have only seen the movie once.
I cannot wait for an official streaming/dvd release to come out to prove these people wrong.
