Transcript by OP

[fscom]

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.)

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed, TBH. It's one thing if the person in question has an established pattern of behavior re: doing bad things, but if someone is digging through stuff looking for like, a single questionable thing they said 15 years ago... why? Genuinely, who even cares?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, generally. If it's someone who has recently been doing something crappy, then sure, name and shame. But if you comb through their social media and find something from a decade ago that's somewhat questionable, and want to go on a crusade against them when they haven't done or said anything since, that's silly.

I remember someone on a reality TV show who had some tweets using "gay" as an insult when she was a literal teenager. A 14/15 year old. And people tried to drag her for it when it had been a decade. THAT was just silly.

I'm so grateful that I had my childhood, teen and college years before social media took off in a big way. Not that I said horrible stuff, but I was a dumb, mouthy kid and I'm sure there's something that could've been used against me.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yes. That kind of person is generally at best trying to increase their social status by taking others down, or at worst looking for ways to wield power and control over other people. Either way, they're someone you wanna give a wide berth.

[(Anonymous)]

Which to me as an autistic person is EXACTLY the same thing, ie violence, so I despise people like that and stay away from them like they are the devil (because to me they are, particularly when they ignore the context in which things were said)

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I think I would make one exception to this and it's the menswear guy (Derek Guy / dieworkwear on Twitter), who has turned using someone's own past posts to own them into an art. I think it works for him because his format is purely reactive -- only does it to people who are already starting shit, and he restricts himself to looking just for hypocrisy, so it's not a blanket "you said something problematic one time ever" sort of thing, but more like "it's really funny you're saying x is important, because look at all these times you failed to live up to that."

But yeah, aside from that, I do think people who comb through years of social media activity for one problematic post are generally pretty scary because they have no sense of proportion or scale, and seems like they're only happy if they're tearing someone down.

[(Anonymous)]

Whoa...yeah I can definitely agree to this.

Exited out of a fandom because there was one person in the fandom who was shady as hell. Any time I or any of our friends said something about a character or actor or writer, etc Fandomer 1 didn't like, we'd know because she would retweet problematic shit about said character/person.
IE.
I gushed over liking Carmy from The Bear, and suddenly Fandomer 1's Twitter TL is filled with RTs criticizing how Carmy is a toxic boss, shitty boyfriend and cowardly brother/son.
A fandom friend RTs a new Adam Driver project because they're an Adam Driver fan, and suddenly Fandomer 1's TL is filled with RTs about how Adam Driver joined the military "in response to 9/11", insinuating Islamophobia.

And the cherry on top? Fandomer 1 would make excuses for or gloss over the past transgressions of characters or entertainers they liked.

They were almost there, but always reverted back to shaming others without reflecting on their own behavior and feelings.

[(Anonymous)]

Which isn't a problem at all in my opinion, unless the said fandomer exerted some sort of social influence or power in the group ie by doing this they hoped others would feel ashamed of what they posted or even shame the person who did the post.
People are entitled to opinions and disagreements, if they hope people don't support Adam Driver because he is an islamophobe or whatever in their opinion it's ok I think. What I don't find ok is the groupthink that goes on in most fandoms where people can't simply disagree about something and it's just Tuesday. No, everyone must agree on everything, therefore now we must shame the person who posted about Adam Driver because he is a Bad Person because he is An Islamophobe (like there aren't so many degrees of inferences and assumptions and personal opinions here but that doesn't matter we must bow down to the groupthink)

[(Anonymous)]

HARD agree.
