... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'm trying something new with the comment secret thread and extending the deadline to comment until Monday's post goes up. I'll monitor this thread until then, and hope the extra day will be more helpful for everyone.

Cheers,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

I don't think anyone is allowed to complain about the lack of femslash or any specific ship in their fandom if they haven't contributed any kind of fanwork for their ship.

Every time this type of thing comes up, I wonder whether people on various sides are interpreting “complaining” differently.

Is it still complaining if it’s a lament with no blame attached?

I think this is maimly targeted at the people who accuse fandom of sexism because they only write m/m and no w/w.

I feel like you might be expressing an unpopular opinion here.....but I actually totally agree. 🫣

Why did Ricki blame the burglar for her son's death instead of the woman who actually shot her son while trying to shoot the burglar? I'm assuming the woman who shot the kid went to jail for it even though it was an accident. I've seen that episode several times and never understood that.

(fandom: CSI New York)

Agreed tbh. Be the change you want to see.

If someone has a pattern of digging up receipts on people's old stuff, like a variety of popular creators, performers etc, not just one or two they may have had personal interaction with, but like when it's just a thing they do for a hobby or.. just habitual... I feel like they seem untrustworthy and possibly even toxic.

IDK but that kind of person who just makes it their business to look into everyone else's to find dirt. They just seem like someone i wouldn't trust in person or in a relationship of any kind.

(PS: I'm not saying that looking into people's pasts is always bad but just.. the kind of person who makes it their hobby to look for wrongs in people's pasts when they're famous/known, they just seem like someone with a very 1-to 100 'if you're Problematic once , you shouldn't be forgiven" type mindset.)

100%. If their hobby is digging for receipts, they will absolutely dig for yours as well, no matter how trivial. Policing morality is these people's dopamine rush.

Maybe I'm being obtuse but... receipts? Like going through the trash to see what they bought?

That's actually an apt metaphor for the behavior OP is describing.

It basically means you have proof of what you claim a person did. For example, if I say "Brenda harasses immigrants, and I come with receipts," then I would present a link to a video or multiple tweets where Brenda is engaging in that exact behavior.

AYRT

Ah, gotcha.

Depends on the time for me. If it's like, "this guy was saying bigoted shit literally last month and keeps doubling down" like please give all the receipts.

But if it's like someone did a thing 20 years ago when they were a teenager, and that's the most recent thing they can find, and they're making that a big deal out of it... yeah, that's hard to care about and makes the searcher look like a drama monger.

nayrt

This, and when callouts are a mix of serious stuff with totally petty stuff, it discredits the whole story and distracts from the issue. It just makes the person complaining look deceitful, even if it's actually true that the person they're calling out is an asshole.

I’m glad people like that exist tbh. Celebrities have been able to get away with so much shit for so long! But I do think there is a sort of statute of limitations. Anything pre 2020 needs to be a major thing unless the person was a teen or younger at the time.

personally i think that stuff when someone was a kid needs to be somehow relevant/a pattern to their behavior now OR something major somehow. Otherwise i really don't care what they said when they were teen or child. I expect kids to do/say dumb stuff. They're still ...still cooking as a human being .

I conflated Necromunda and Nostramo for *way* too long.

To be fair they're both awful hive worlds strangled by crime, but I should have noticed Goliath's aren't goth. Or all dead. Whoops.

About two years ago I got a LibraryThing account and I finished cataloguing my 2k+ book collection in January. It's helped me look at my collection and remember all the books I thought were actually a bit shit, all the ones I bought because A Reader would have them, and all the ones I genuinely love. My library will be smaller when I'm done picking out the books to release back into the wild, but (I hope) more reflective of what I actually like and enjoy.
