I shall never forget this place for someone filling in one of my Oghren/Wynne prompts and it was AWESOME. I wish I could say my own fills were anywhere near as good :/

[(Anonymous)]

Unless I am wrong (and I am never wrong), there's only the one Oghren/Wynne prompt that's been filled, and I'm the one who filled it, and anon I <3 you so hard for writing that prompt in the first place.

THANKFUL ANON LOVE FEST 8D

The mod there truly is amazing. Still, what kinds of shittiness have you seen from the other people in the fandom? Believe me, I agree with you. I'm just wondering if it's the same sorts of thing that bothers me, or if I'm just a terrible and/or weird person.

[(Anonymous)]

DAO fandom is shitty and vile? Huh, I wouldn't necessarily have expected that. I loved the game, but haven't really checked out the fandom aside from glancing at a few comms. Guess that's just as well!

[trojanphoenix.livejournal.com]

There are certainly things I don't like about the fandom (mostly the misogyny with random Anora/Isolde/character with a vagina hate) and certainly some people I don't like, but mostly I love it.

[graziaplena.livejournal.com]

Ahh, you answered my question before I asked it. :) I'm not in the fandom, just play the game, but I was wondering what people could possibly be shitty and vile about and....but of course. *facepalm*

[trojanphoenix.livejournal.com]

There is also your usual Mary Sue arguements and a lot of butthurt over the Dark Promise and DLC and DA2 kills kittens apparently.

[honorableshadow.livejournal.com]

I agree.

This. Is it too much to ask to have just one fandom that doesn't indulge in spit-flying vagina!hatefests? *sigh*

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Being fair, I was...really angry when I submitted this, and vaguely regretted doing so the next day. It's the misogyny that bothers me, and the blind head-rammed-up-your-ass privilege; I've seen too many people use, and defend the use of, hate speech and it makes me ill. It's the sort of thing that only needs to happen once (which is why this is a secret. It's wanky and grudgy as fuck, and I know it), and I sorta wish I could forget and ignore it, but I can't.

Doesn't help that the fandom is pretty small, making avoiding individuals difficult to impossible, and I don't really trust the mods of the most of bigger comms to take the right side if/when issues come up. That's a big part of what makes this one feel worse, compared to other fandoms I've been in.

There are a lot of awesome people, people I like a lot, but that's not...enough. It's hard to have fun when I feel like I constantly have to brace myself against misogynistic/sexist/homophobic/generally fucked up bullshit, and I feel like I spend a lot of time doing that in DA fandom.

If any of that makes sense. It's basically a long, convoluted way of saying I'm ~sensitive~ and having many feelings.

Re: OP

[trojanphoenix.livejournal.com]

I can understand that, but when I have an issue I bitch to the mods and it gets resolved. Except on BSN but I don't like that place anyway.

Re: OP

[indigorosebud.livejournal.com]

As a mod of some of the bigger comms, I would like to offer my assistance on how I can help the fandom gain trust in us and also defend others in fandom against hate speech. However, every time (and those times are few) that I see a problem the other mods get to it before I can manage it (in the comms I mod) or report it (in the ones I don't.) If there has been hate speech and other bullying going on that I am not aware of, it would help me greatly if you could inform me where I can look. Thank you.

Re: OP

Good thing none of the people you just called shitty, vile and untrustworthy have ~feelings~ otherwise that could be really awkward for you.

[(Anonymous)]

So who are the shitty and vile people? Come on, Anon. Name names!

[(Anonymous)]

This secret can go two different ways really - hate for the swoopers (with all their Anora-hate and Morrigan-hate and Cousland/Alistair fanfic), or hate for the swooper-haters (we can write what we want, make your own stuff, we're allowed to dislike characters because they can get involved with Alistair, wardenxAlistair can make babies?!). I'm really clueless where this secret lies.
