#anti harrassment

[obianakin]

if you are anti-ao3, you are pro-censorship

if you believe archive of our own needs to be shut down, you support active censorship

ao3 was created during a time when corporations were trying to actively capitalize on fan content. ao3 was created to circumvent the encroaching censorship in the fanfiction community. and this is not just censorship in the form of limiting mature content: authors were barred from writing for certain fandoms. authors were prohibited from using certain formatting decisions in their writing. authors weren’t able to moderate comments on their own works. authors were not able to properly tag and provide accurate trigger warnings for their works in ways that were easily accessible to readers.

archive of our own provided so much for the fan community, and continues to provide a valuable space for writers and fans alike. it is invaluable. fans deserve spaces free of trivial censorship and free of corporate presence. fans deserve ao3.

Man antis tire me. You do realize most people irl are the "freaks" you talk of? Most people LOVE angsts, and that includes abuse, dubious consent, incestual pairings, YES even minorXadult stuff, YES even necrophilia, YES whatever youre thinking of.

Ask any of my family, ask any of my friends, ask any of my friends I had at school growing up about "hey did you love any of these tropes and perhaps even indulge in them?" And youll get a loud YES

You are the odd ones out. And thats a reminder for the other proshippers out there too, ANTIS ARE THE ODD ONES OUT! This whole anti fiction phenomenon is only present in america and even then its mostly within american social media, go to european or asian ir whatever social media and NO ONE GIVES A FUCK unless its motivated by extreme religious BS

VERY related to recent happenings: if you sexualize child actors, that is pedoplilia. it doesn't matter if they're an adult in present time. you are still attracted to a child.

I cannot believe this is controversial.

Going on TikTok forgetting that it's made up of mostly puriteens and seeing someone say the most braindead pro-censorship take like "loli/shotacons deserve to be publicly executed" and the whole comment section agreeing with them.

Then going on the proship tag on tumblr and taking a nice, deep breath of relief knowing normal people still exist

Okay, so wtf this anti means

They also called "anti" a slur, im done with it..

No way they compared words that been used for a long time to oppress a minority, to a bunch of imature people.

The antis have been all over my posts in the last few days, so I wanted to share my experiences and write a guide on how to deal with them. 

First off: Our ships and character preferences are valid, no matter how hard some people try to demonize them. We are part of fandom and allowed to post about the things we enjoy, just like everyone else. Our fanfics, fanart, video edits, photo edits, etc. are all works of love and they deserve to exist and be explored by others. 

✨ Strategies for dealing with antis ✨

Don’t engage. I have checked the bios of all the antis that left comments under my posts, and the majority of them are minors. You don’t want to talk to minors in fandom spaces!! And a conversation based on logic or reason won’t be possible either. 

Delete their comments. Tumblr, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube allow you to delete comments, DO IT!! You created something with love and hateful comments have no place underneath it. Even if the comment just makes you uncomfortable and isn’t outright hateful, it is perfectly reasonable to delete it for your own sanity.

Block generously. Not only the people who target you specifically but also anyone who engages in character- or ship-bashing. People who do that for one ship will do it for other ships too and it’s extremely bad fandom etiquette. When you see a character or ship-bashing post, block everyone who liked it and then the poster.

Report people for harassment. The rules vary by site, but especially threats of violence should be reported. Also, if someone follows you to another social media site after you’ve blocked them, that is called block evading and you should report that too. 

When you see other people getting hateful comments underneath their posts, leave a nice comment to offset some of the negativity. Your being supportive can make the difference between this person never posting again and them being motivated to keep going. People are always welcome to send me links to a post that is getting targeted by antis and I’ll like it and leave a nice comment. 🥰

Don’t let the bad comments outshine the positive ones! Every time my post gets enough traction for antis to find it, it also gets lots of lovely reactions. Many people have told me that my content and recommendations made them ship my OTP, and that is the single thing that makes me happier than anything else. Take a screenshot and look at these kinds of comments when you feel down. This is the real reason you should keep posting. 

Most hate comments are exceptionally uncreative. It helps to laugh about it, preferably with a friend. ✨ Remember, you used your energy to create something and you should be proud of it!

When you see a creator you like, but they also display obnoxious behavior towards people who like other ships, characters, or dynamics, at the very least don’t give them a platform by sharing their posts. 

Stay safe. Don’t post personal information online. 

It’s completely valid to step away from social media for some time. Private your accounts, turn off notifications, do a canon reread, read some fanfics in peace. Whatever it takes to remind you why you love the things you love. 

Bonus Tip: Watch videos of cute animals to destress. Bunnies nose-booping each other can (and will) cure anti-induced anxiety. :)

✨ Platforms sorted by least to most toxic and my advice for using them ✨

1. Discord 

Discord is great because you can join servers specifically for your favorite characters and ships. If a server doesn’t already exist, consider setting one up! Pro tip: only invite people that have positively interacted with you in the past. A small server consisting of nice people is a lot more fun than a large server consisting of members that can’t get along or are only marginally interested in the topic. 

Fandom Discord servers have clear guidelines on what you can post. As long as you follow the rules, people have no grounds for calling you out. In my experience, moderators are quick to respond to harassment.  

When you join a server and you see they heavily restrict certain types of content, it is a red flag. Proceed with caution, even if you plan to only talk about “safe” characters and ships. 

2. Tumblr

I have rarely gotten hateful comments on Tumblr, and the few times I did they were easy to delete.  

A lot of the older fandom generations use Tumblr and they are more mature and accepting of all kinds of content.

3. Twitter

Twitter makes it easy to curate your own fandom experience. You can mute words you don’t like to see on your timeline, mute and block users, and most people have their ship preferences in their bio.

4. Instagram

My Instagram posts about Jadecest get a lot of positive interaction, even more than on Twitter. There are unpleasant comments once in a while, but they are easy to delete. 

Blocking a user will delete all their comments from your posts. 

5. YouTube

People who don’t like your ship will downvote your videos and downvotes lead to the algorithm not recommending your videos. 

I have gotten a few negative comments, but they are easy to delete. 

6. Reddit 

When you post in a fandom subreddit, everyone will see the post, independent of their ship preferences. 

There are a lot of minors on Reddit. 

You can’t delete comments.

Most fandom subreddits are poorly moderated. 

7. TikTok

I have gotten the most hate comments on TikTok. They can be filtered or deleted, but antis interacting with your video by leaving hate comments will lead to the algorithm recommending your content to even more antis. It can get very ugly. 

If you post on TikTok consider turning off comments, stitches, and video replies. You can also mark your content as 18+, so it won’t get recommended to minors. (Again, antis tend to be underage.)

Platforms are more toxic the more they show your content to people outside your bubble. Discord, Tumblr, and Twitter keep your content relatively well contained to your circle of friends. Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram heavily promote your content outside your bubble, which is good, because more people are going to see it, but also bad, because it reaches more antis. 

~~~

Antis are loud and obnoxious, but it’s important to remember that they are a minority. Ship and let ship still exists, especially among the people who have been in fandom spaces for more than just a few years. Don’t be afraid to post your content and express your love for your favorite characters and ships! I, for one, would love to see your creations, and many other people would love to see them too. 

What are your experiences and strategies for dealing with antis?

So as someone who consumes and writes fanfiction, I am on the fanfiction is a valid type of literature train choo choo but my god it is so painfully obvious some of you don't read anything else.

Some of you desperately need a cure for your fandom police brainworms and I think the answer might be just reading a fucking book. Check out a book from the library. Preferably one without a wattpad cover on it and a disclaimer from the author being like ZOMG PLZ DONT THINK IM CONDONING THE BAD STUFF!!! PROSHIPPERS DNI!!!111

Did you know that books don't have those usually because people reading books are generally smart enough to know that fiction is fiction.

Antis going straight to sex when talking about shipping is honestly weird. I am pretty horny, but even I don’t automatically think someone wants to see two characters fucking if they like the ship. And I most definitely don’t wonder if they jerk off to it or not.

If I say I adore an adult x minor ship, and you just automatically think I want to see them do sexual activities so I can get off to it… who really is the creepy and weird one here?

You bitch and moan all the time about being pro ship but you literally don’t even fucking commit to it in your writing, I was surprised how milquetoast all your shit is lol, you’re a fucking pussy who’s ‘scawed of mean antis 🥺’ get real

This is such a funny ask for so many reasons.

First of all, being proship doesn't mean you read or write dark media? Clearly you don't understand that. It's literally being anti harassment. That being said I enjoy consuming dark media rather then writing it, hence the saw post I made. And lastly uhhhh idk, ahhh! Scary anti! Insulting me!! What will I do!!!

Anyway good job being anon, you're very brave.

#i will now be turning of anon for the time being so i can block people like this lmao #also might delete thos post later cause i dont like negative shit on this blog lol #also when i say antis scare me its cause of the anxiety i get with responses liek this or the one in my saw post lol #anyway glad to know there are a few proshippers in the saw fandom lmao #proship #anti anti #proshippers please interact #anti harrassment

[asherisawkward]

Do you think the fandom has a holier than thou attitude?

The fandom is an absolute mess. A huge portion of the fandom is prone to going after anyone who likes the villains of the series and treating it like a personal attack. Like Huntlow? Don’t like Huntlow? Don’t like Lumity? People will go off on you and act as if you personally insulted them or said you supported something utterly outlandish.

And if you like Philip or any of the other villains of the series? It could be an absolute mess. You can get bullied, insulted, harassed, and degraded. People accuse you of supporting actual genocidal dictators or being a traitor to the LGBTQ or whatever marginalized group you fall into. People become obsessed with it and act like that determines your morality, when it absolutely doesn’t.

Similar stuff happens to people who disagree or critique the show on its flaws. You get threatened or insulted or doxxed. I mean, people in this fandom will tell others to kill themselves over works of fiction. It’s a disgusting mentality that what forms of writing, film, or characters you like impact your morality or your trustworthiness as a person. It’s modern day witch-hunting and another form of purity culture.

The show says, “Us weirdos have to stick together.”

The fandom basically says, “We stick together unless you say something I disagree with,” and that’s not okay.

AHAHAHAH just saw an anti try to argue that video games DO cause violence.

Bruh 💀 how have you guys allowed yourself to fall so low. Their argument was "if theyre mentally unwell it will affect them-" ANYTHING will affect them in that case, they could he calmly looking at the news and see that someone decided to go on a killing spree and then go on one too, but we aint shutting down the news now are we?

And this translating to "oh well now a mentally unwell person will go touch kids" YEAH, SOME WILL, but also the same people will see innocent art of a father and son and being affectionate and still do it, the same person will see a victim talk about their expirience being groomed and will still do it- these people will get triggered to do something awful ANYWAY if a mere videogame or piece of art can motivate them.

Its the whole slenderman thing again 💀🤪 lets ban all creepypasta and video games and wholesome art or creators- actually yknow what? Lets just lock every mentally ill person up so they never see any content ever cuz otherwise they might just go and hurt people! I think this is the only solution that would make antis happy

some people who are loudly "anti cringe culture" will be on your ass for shipping the wrong pixels together. because to them, "cringe" is just quirky scene culture and fail to recognize that they themselves are perpetuating cringe culture.

found this, felt wholesome, was about to reblog then saw the "proship fuck off thanks" so to respect their wishes, i am going to post a copy of their message here, because all of it was great except the end

( really, how do you say "learn to be a decent person" and then next sentence you say "proship fuck off thanks") i cropped out the username cuz i dont want someone to harrass them/anxious ( just in case). i copied and pasted the text to underneath the image!

[start of text description]

Shoutout to self shippers that don’t like sharing their f/o(s), there’s nothing wrong with feeling jealous, sad, possessive, some characters are very special to you personally, or you just feel so deeply and dearly for them, and that’s okay. I get it. Doesn’t matter if the character is extremely popular or completely unknown, you’re valid. Same goes for not wanting to see canon x canon ships with your f/o!

And if you’re only comfortable sharing with certain people that’s cool to!

Self shipping can be an incredibly personal experience, and there’s no right or wrong way to go about it, you’re not inconsiderate or greedy or annoying or anything for being uncomfortable sharing .

Your f/o(s) love you so much, always remember it’s okay to curate your experience selfshipping online, it’s perfectly okay to block tags and or blogs if you need to. Don’t make yourself suffer by continually exposing yourself to discomfort 👍

This post does not apply to you if you actively hate on / send hate / are shitty to other people that do share your f/o(s). Learn to be a decent person.

[end of text description]

i wanted to add on to their point, because everything they said was good, they were just being gatekeepy- which is their perogative, i just think positivity should be for everybody and i would like to make it accessible. op if you see this, please don't reply as a: i'm in your dni and b: i'm posting this for the sole reason of spreading positivity. so yeah, everything op said also counts for proshippers and profic peeps. <3

Look.

You kids.

You children.

You immature beaver weasels.

You like to think you are all so high and mighty, so good or golden with your fanpol ways, trying to make people think exactly like you, and then the moment they go against you suddenly it's your rules or the high way...

You're not the one in the right.

Just because someone's mindset dares to be different. Dares to write something, draw something, headcanon something that doesn't align with your "uwu pure fluff" does NOT,

And I repeat

DOES NOT GIVE YOU AUTHORITY TO YELL, DOXX, DEFAME, OR SEND ANY KINDS OF THREATS/BAITS TO THEM!!!

Seriously. What is wrong with these children that think they can bar, ban, block people from fandom spaces just because they don't share your same mindset. Be it shipping, dark themes, or dark dark content.

If you are the type of person, who sends threats, baits, threatens to doxx, or harrasses people because they don't follow the "purity culture"

Fuck. You.

(it's not that hard to just ignore someone if you don't like their content)

I love how antis and fake neutrals act like they’re “taking a pledge against fandom toxicity,” but link to a vehemently anti sebaciel post.

You know, the ship people get death threats over, that also happens to be the most popular ship because it involves the two main fucking characters??

Then they act like they have the ONLY “trustworthy” sources of info and link exclusively to anti-run blogs with questionable translations and conclusions.

Antis are unbelievable. They really try to act like THEY are the non toxic ones, while their community is a cult that manipulates and abuses its members while actively encouraging harassment.

Over FICTION.

Instead of saying you’re taking a fucking “pledge against toxicity,” maybe you should say, “we all love the same source material, we should come together over it instead of spreading hate.”

…But then they wouldn’t be an anti.
