[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I hate signal boost posts on tumblr to stop some pathetic whiner from killing themself. If they really wanted to do it, just commit suicide instead of whoring for attention.

Asking for help =/= "whoring for attention"

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. Fuck you.

Sometimes that's the only way they know of how to ask for help.

Now, if it's someone who isn't really planning on going through with it and keeps doing this for months of years (often out of legitimate mental issues, but that's a reason, not an excuse), I get the annoyance, because they're painting all depressed and/or suicidal people with the same "is this person for real or just hungry for attention" brush, but just taking a moment to say something kind and try to encourage them not to do it is only taking you time; if it turns out to be fake, you're only out of time and maybe pride at yourself for being tricked...

I guess that's what it's about, isn't it?

It hurts to admit that you fell for someone's lies. And that's understandable, but there are honestly so many people doing crappy things out there that if it's just words on the internet it's better to just let go and focus your attention on people and things that are really worth it.

I know the temptation of telling everyone "this is a fake!" when you find out, but the best is to just let that solve itself.

Warnings can backfire if it turns out you're wrong; when to warn people is something of a judgement call, but if you try to distance yourself from it you'll think clearly and be able to spot clues and hints on whether, say, those donations are going towards something skeevy.

It's not very black and white, but I get your frustration! Please don't think I don't.

i honestly feel like the liars are less in numbers than the genuine people, but anyone depressed or suicidal gets lumped in with them. maybe people want an excuse to be shitty to depressed people and the fake people make an easy strawman, idk.

ayrt

I just play it safe and try not to be shitty in general, especially in this case, because you never know, right?

(Victim-blaming pisses me off in general, so I prefer to risk feeling sympathy for a fake than risking making someone in a bad situation feel even worse.)

But yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if your numbers are right.

Especially when it's one of those "if this gets x amounts of likes I won't kill myself" posts.

I hate any emotional blackmaily-type post. I won't reblog them. Especially since most times if you take a moment to track down the OP it turns out whatever crisis they first posted about has already passed, but people are still reblogging anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I ignore it. Too many people lie online.

I hate those posts too. Pathetic cries for attention that I get my Jack Sparrow on to and watch as they pass by as my dash scrolls.
