Fencing anon here, idk if you remember me. I have book marked the last two parts of your magnum opus and need to barricade myself in for a week to read it. Life's gotten real busy, apologies in advance

Oh my dear nonnie, of course I remember you, you’ve been visiting my blogs since 2017 and we’ve always had lovely talks :3

I remember all my anons and hope they’re all doing well even if they haven’t visited in a while

So I’m happy to hear from you again! Hopefully life gets less busy (unless you like that lol)

Also it’d would take me longer than a week to read that many words so like you’re fine lmao

#Anonymous #I’m so happy to hear from you that I’m answering this ask on mobile #welcome back nonnie #shippy speaks

Saw an artist’s post about commis/sions, thought sure why not, and go to their blog

They have a silly dni that I technically fit

And so no purchase from me

Alas for them I guess

#I think everyone knows I like to throw money at artists by now lmao #but some of them really shoot themselves in the foot with those dni stuff #which is hilarious considering what’s on their dni is SO MILD compared to the subjects in their own art like what lmao #shippy speaks

I always find it funny when people write bdsm erotica where the dom is really aggressive and demanding and the sub is all sweet and innocent when I feel like more often than not the dynamic is a sub who asks for the most insane, out of pocket, dangerous, borderline illegal, unhinged shit and a dom who's like "hmmm ok yeah maybe we can scale that back a bit"

#cracking the fuck up #because it's true lol #writing

by far the harshest truth ive ever had to come to terms with is that many people genuinely have absolute dogshit taste and that is, technically, not a crime

#see i came to terms with this ages ago #it's not a crime and i would never call for a person to be jailed or whatever insane shit ppl online demand now just bc of bad taste #instead it's typically the ppl with the WORST taste imaginable wanting to call the cops for moral crimes they've made up #all in the effort to remove what they don't like and replace it with their garbage #the funniest bit is half the ppl doing this don't even contribute works for their garbage they just want it all turned into a garbage dump #pathetic #keeping those tags #because it's pretty much truth #fandumb

Tonight, I went looking for more articles to add to my collection of anti essays, and I found one from Elliott Dunstan called Behind the Curtain: Anti-Shipping is a Bad Faith Position.

He managed to put into words what bothers me about the line, "it's just fandom drama and I'm above it", which many people use to dismiss the anti movement. He does this by positing that the anti movement is an entry point for radical feminism, and for mobilizing people against PornHub, OnlyFans, etc. One quote I particularly liked was:

"Much like how Gamergate and the alt-right used videogames and 4chan to get to young men, TERFs and radfems have happily used Tumblr and Twitter to disguise their talking points in 'low-stakes' affairs like ships. This serves several purposes. One, nobody’s really going to think about it too hard. It’s fandom. It’s not that serious. Two, nobody outside of fandom will take you seriously. If you’re harassed or lose your job because of dumb fandom drama, it’s at least partially your own fault for engaging in 'silly fandom stuff for children' – at least in many people’s eyes. And three, it gives them direct access to a receptive audience; marginalized people in fandom who feel shut out for other reasons."

I felt it was pretty well written and makes some very good points.

People really need to realise that “media can affect real life” doesn’t mean “this character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad things” and actually means “ideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readers”
