Genuinely Curious Why So Many People Demand Entitlement Within Spaces To Be Negative And Miserable And

Genuinely curious why so many people demand entitlement within spaces to be negative and miserable and focus on upsetting things.

"I just want advice and support and a place to release my emotions!"

Okay but do you have to do it in a Pokemon Discord server? Do you have to talk about genocide in front of my fruit salad recipe? Why do my horny thoughts about mpreg Stucky need to be interrupted by you complaining that everyone you know sucks?

Not every single space is obligated to cater to you in terms of providing you with a "negativity space."

I'm not asking out of some kind of contrarianism, it's just that it seems like a good idea to get this spelled out, because I'm not seeing it, and I'd imagine others are not as well: Why specifically is it dangerous to go incognito into an anti-ship space or a pro-ship space if one is the opposite?

Because deceiving people and inserting yourself into spaces wherein you are overtly unwelcome has no positive or beneficial outcome. And there are batshit insane people on both sides who are known to go as far as doxxing, stalking, getting people fired, creating revenge pornography and so forth.

Absolutely nothing is worth that. No amount of fake friends or "gleaning information" or whatever other excuse you have is worth risking the sanctity of your life for.

For example, the anon who started this conversation is "incognito" in a server full of people supposedly their "friends," and yet they are constantly making it overtly aware that they think the kind of person anon (secretly) is is disgusting and immoral. How do you think they're going to react if they find out the person they're supposed to be friends with is actually the very thing they hate?

Even if their reactions aren't inherently dangerous they are certainly not going to be pleasant. It is simply not worth the risk at all.

Don't feel obligated to post or respond if you don't want to, I just wanted to give you some positivity. I really love your blog and your opinions on things. I hope you have a wonderful day

Oh god oh wait its fine I'm fine I just oh god a minute I need a minute

Hi there, really enjoying reading through your posts & adding a bunch of antis to my blocklist. It's upsetting to see how old some of them are, I can't imagine any self-respecting person over the age of 20 using the term "proshitter" but I guess this is the playground we're living in now.

I too love when antis try to sound off on my posts and make my tedious chore of blocking them so much easier.

Unfortunately, access to the open world of the internet means that people are exposed to far much more than they might be without it, and it allows them to breed this lasting culture of hate and stupidity. I just take great pleasure in laughing at them and knowing that the only people who just barely respect them are the people who think the same way as them. Which is not a compliment at all.

Being "incognito" in an antiship space when you are proship and vice versa can genuinely be so dangerous. On both sides. It is absolutely not worth the potential risks. Whatever benefits you think you're gaining form it I can promise you aren't worth it.

i agree with your "some spaces should be drama free" thing fun is a human need entertainment needs to be valued just as much as anything else with no fun, mental illness can sprout or get worse can't pour from an empty cup let people engage with politics when they are able to forcing it causes burn out and misery which is no help to energy its why anti behaviour is so toxic bringing politics into things that are supposed to be fun, and upsetting everyone including themselves

We've placed such an obligation on addressing and trying to fix or hold ourselves accountable for the negative aspects of things that we've essentially barred ourselves from unadulterated happiness and positivity.

I probably sounded like an ass to the person who mentioned "fandom politics" as a reply but it was just such a blatantly unnecessary comment that really proved my main point. People are so hammered into the belief that if we don't constantly force ourselves to acknowledge something that we are The Problem or making The Problem worse.

Even if the source content has problematic or questionable aspects, you are simply not obligated to acknowledge it 24/7. You are entitled to enjoy it either way. You are entitled to at least one space regarding it where you simply don't have to think about it at all.
