You know, I get why you feel that way towards the shippers, but this feels like an overreaction. "I would rather have the writers not pigeon hole, yadda yadda.." Because that's such a great danger, right? Those campaigns by whitecock slashers are becoming so powerful that they are really changing the relationship between fandom and creators! After all, they are taken so seriously - remember how they got that slash ship with zero canon foundation to become canon? What was it, exactly?..I can't remember either.

Heh. I think that kind of thing is actually becoming a bigger problem lately than it has been in the past. Trouble is, networks are encouraging, more and more, active interaction between a show's creative forces - actors, writers, whatever - and the fans through media like Twitter. Makes it that much harder to sustain that dissociation that kept the production of a show separate from its fanbases.

And this is a bad thing... why?

nayrt

I enjoy fandom for the interaction of the fans with the media. Afaik the creators have exactly nothing to do with that. If someone involved with the show wants to get involved as a fan, that's fine. But as long as networks and shows see the fandom as something that is theirs to manipulate and direct at things they can fuck right off.

NAYRT, but at least in one of the fandoms I follow, it's a bad thing because the lunatic fringe has easier access to actors, writers, showrunners, etc, than ever before. Granted, some people regard all of fandom as the lunatic fringe, but there are some fans even other fans edge away from. So it's not just enthusiastic but harmless fangirls and fanboys telling people "I love your work," it's people who find out where actors live and go through their trash/break into their houses/become amateur paparazzi, people threatening writers with bodily harm for not making their OTP canon, fans harassing actors' significant others because it means their favorite actor isn't romantically available, either for the person doing the harassing, or because said significant other gets in the way of a RPF OTP, sending explicit fanfic and fanart to the casts of shows and movies, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. People have done this sort of fucked-up shit for a long time, but social media makes it a lot easier to take fan-culture to extremes.
