i think the saddest thing about toxic fandom hate (antis) is that it has become so normalized that otherwise nice fans no longer question why they are treating other nice fans as sub-human just because they enjoy one fictional thing that the others don’t. they just accept it as normal to bully and harass people they COULD be great friends with, over something as simple as a difference in taste regarding FICTION.

imagine running a pizza parlor and trying to ban everyone who likes pineapple on their pizza. you don’t serve pineapple on pizza, they enjoy it in their own homes and it doesn’t involve you, but how dare they enjoy something you find gross! can’t have them being happy anywhere near you, or even giving you their money for non-pineapple pizza! can’t risk them ‘corrupting’ your pizza by adding their own pineapple to it, even tho literally noone but them will know about it, and everyone will still know that you DON’T put pineapple on pizza. their own taste literally has no effect on you but you treat them as less than human for it… who’s really the problem here?

next time you try to dehumanize/exclude an entire group of people, maybe ask yourself WHY they deserve to be treated that way? are they actually causing harm, or do you really think it’s okay to hurt people just because you personally find one of their interests ‘gross’?

‘oh, but pineapple on pizza isn’t HARMFUL like this nasty thing these fans are doing!’ i hear you cry.

first off, pineapple absolutely is harmful and can even be deadly, if you are allergic to it. does that mean we should ban every food that someone could be allergic to? of course not! there’d be no food left! but we should LABEL foods, so that people with allergies can avoid things that are harmful to them, while the rest of us still enjoy it. and that is what tags on fanfiction and fanart are for! if you have trauma related to pineapple on pizza, you block ‘pineapple on pizza’ and ‘hawaiian pizza’ and you’re good! and if someone doesn’t tag something that could very easily be harmful, then yeah maybe kindly ask them to tag it, and if they don’t, you block them/stop buying their products. it’s that simple.

secondly, ‘but problematic content supports/normalizes/romanticizes/encourages-’ no it doesn’t. if it did, pretty much ALL entertainment media would be banned, due to ‘normalizing’ treating minors as adults, ‘encouraging’ using violence to solve problems, and ‘romanticizing’ breaking the law. only extremely young and/or mentally ill people do not understand that you should not copy everything you see in entertainment media, and these people are cared for by guardians who are responsible for moderating their wards’ media intake, the same way someone with allergies moderates their own food intake.

people who do horrible things are the only ones responsible for the horrible things they do. blaming content creators for ‘inspiring’ a crime is just as bad as blaming victims for ‘inviting’ it.

and it should be obvious, but an artist drawing a picture of fictional characters doing a thing is VERY DIFFERENT from a celeb actually TELLING their audience TO do a thing. if that is not obvious, i recommend asking your parent/guardian to restrict your access to the internet, for your safety as well as others’.
