To the last reblog I made that I won't derail further, but I've really held my tongue too long to not start fights on: The fact that my dashboard was full of 'if you don't burn or dump your old Harry Potter books and merch and stop making or consuming the fanworks yesterday, you're a transphobic asshole promoting her work and genocide.' Okay done. Trashed them and don't click the tags on AO3 or search it out anymore. You gonna stop consuming and making Scott Cawthon shit you anti-immigrant homophobes? Or you gonna willingly swallow the lie that he 'stepped away' when every evidence shows he hasn't and if you believe he won't still give his residuals as a creator to racist, homophobic candidates who yes are also transphobic mind you, then I've a bridge to sell you. It is mind boggling to me that fandumb thinks being a good person means 'don't consume transphobic content' but never apply the same to other bigotry except to harass small marginalized creators who didn't do representation correctly. Yet Scott Cawthon is exempt and can keep doing whatever the hell he wants forever because MatPat used statistics and graphs to say it wasn't anti-immigration, but 'safe borders' as if that isn't the same fucking thing with dogwhistling repubs. Fuck you MatPat and your money train. Even if the Fnaf fandom thinks you're cringe and think they're not like other Fnaf content creators and dissociated with you, you basically gave the go ahead that this was okay when all this shit initially came out and I've been sitting on my 'petty grievances' forever because I didn't want to be the troll bringing up old wounds that the fandom collectively decided was resolved, but it fucking isn't and I predict with the movie coming out with the creator's name all over it that we're going to have another J.K. Rowling debate for too many years on his intentions before it's too late, but hey that's just a theory, no? Surely this has never happened before with the likes of Orson Scott Card, right?
